The main ground for divorce is an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
Fault-based reasons include but not are limited to:
- Adultery
- Commission of felony
- Becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol after marriage
- Hopelessly and incurably insane mental condition of the Defendant (under reservations)
- Cruel treatment
Take into consideration that all the fault-based reasons may require evidence or additional testimony.
Parenting Issues
The best interests of the child are always the priority and the court will decide on sole or joint custody. Joint legal custody offers different conditions where both parents can take part in the decision-making process regarding a child, but here one parent will be primarily residential and the other will be able to spend time with the child on a schedule. Joint legal and joint physical custody means that the child should reside equally with each parent.
Child Support
The guidelines for child support work the same with any case apart from those where special circumstances should be considered. In those cases, both parents’ gross incomes and child-related expenses are recognized to define the amount of the child support obligation. Child support continues until the 19th birthday of the child or until he or she finishes secondary education.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since our fee excludes court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
