No-Fault Divorce

Many individuals think that there must be a reason for getting a divorce, such as adultery. This, however, is not the case. In recent decades, most states have adopted no-fault divorce laws. Florida is among those many states.

In a no-fault divorce, neither spouse has to have committed an illegal or unethical action in order to be granted a divorce. If you and your spouse are thinking about getting divorced, contact the Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. at 954-580-8080.

Understanding No-Fault Divorces

As the name implies, no-fault divorces do not require fault. That is, neither spouse has to have committed adultery or some other action that strains the relationship. Individuals can get divorced if they simply do not get along anymore.

In Florida, as well as in many other states, couples can only apply for no-fault divorces. This means that if fault was involved, it will not factor into whether the couple is granted a divorce. Almost every divorce, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it, will be granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.

It is important to note that while fault does not factor into whether a divorce will be granted, it may factor heavily in the ensuing divorce settlement.
