No-Fault Divorce

No Fault Divorce Matters in West Chester PA

Under Pennsylvania’s no-fault method, a divorce decree can be processed as soon as ninety days after the filing and service upon the other spouse of a divorce complaint if both spouses will consent to the entry of the decree by signing a document called an Affidavit of Consent.  If one spouse fails to consent to the entry of the decree, a no fault decree can be entered if the marriage is irretrievably broken and the spouses have been separated for at least two years.  Have more questions regarding a Chester County PA No Fault divorce case?  Contact attorney Joshua Janis of Ciccarelli Lawyers.

With regard to the date of separation, please be advised that there is no such thing as a legal separation in Pennsylvania.  It is presumed that the date of the filing of a divorce complaint is the date of separation unless the facts (such as one spouse moving out of the marital residence) justify using an earlier date.  In some circumstances, spouses can be separated even if they continue to reside in the same household.
