You can obtain a divorce by proceeding under one of Pennsylvania’s No Fault grounds by stating in your divorce papers that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The court will grant your divorce 90 days after the affidavit is filed citing mutual consent, provided all of the property issues have been resolved.
When your divorce is contested
You may still obtain a No Fault divorce where one party contests the divorce after a two-year separation, providing all of the property issues have been resolved.
Pennsylvania is also a Fault state. A Fault Divorce may include:
Adultery
Bigamy
Desertion
Cruel and inhuman treatment endangering the life or health of the spouse
Imprisonment for two or more years
Personal indignities
Confinement in a mental institution
If the two of you agree on issues of Property Division, your divorce can be granted without a trial. But if you don’t agree, a hearing may be necessary.
