What are the Fault Grounds of a Divorce?

There is the dissolution of a marriage and there is divorce.  The gender of each partner now has no bearing on either in the state of Washington.  In order to obtain a divorce in the state one of the parties has to prove that the other has been at fault under one of the statutory grounds.  So exactly what are the fault grounds of a divorce?

Fault grounds are described as reasons that are commonly accepted in which one spouse takes the other to court to ask for a divorce.  By law these may include adultery, willingly being absent for more than 12 months, extreme cruelty, habitual abuse of alcohol and/or other substances and more examples that may defined by your divorce attorney.

To discover any and all of the fault grounds in the state of Washington you need to seek the council of a family lawyer with three and a half decades of experience in handling divorce cases.  Contact the office of Lyle Clark today at (425) 452-3092.  Have a frank and open discussion with someone who will not judge, but help you make the proper decision.  Make that call TODAY!
