In Pennsylvania, the law allows for no-fault divorces. This means that the parties have reached a point in their marriage where there are irreconcilable differences, & at least one of you no longer wants to be married. Although there may be serious reasons that make you want a divorce, a "grounds divorce" is costly. It provides you with no financial or legal advantage in your case. Unfortunately, despite the emotional upheaval a divorce can bring, the real purpose of divorce is to divide assets and/or debts, & allow each of you to become free of the ties that bound you while married.

When couples dissolve their marriage, it is hoped that you will be able to reach agreements concerning division of assets and/or debts if applicable, such as, spousal support, child custody & child support, among other things. If such agreements cannot be reached, the court will decide these issues for you based on Pennsylvania law.
