That is the essence of no fault divorce. Marital wrongdoing (such as adultery,
cruelty, or abandonment) is no longer required to terminate a marriage. Rather, both parties agree that the demise of
their marriage is neither’s fault. The
petitioning party simply must assert that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
The court will grant the divorce without either party showing evidence that the
marital contract was breached unless the responding party petitions for
conciliation, which is, in effect, court-ordered marriage counseling to explore
whether the marriage can be saved.
It all began during many of our lifetimes. In 1970 Governor Ronald Reagan signed no
fault divorce into law in the state of California. Washington followed in 1973. It took 40 years, believe it or not, before
New York became the last state to ratify it.
However, only 17 states even today are TRUE no fault divorce states;
though some others allow no fault as an option.
To find out if this is a viable option for YOU, call someone
who has been handling these cases since 1977.
He is veteran no fault divorce attorney Lyle Clark. Lyle maintains an office at 40 Lake Bellevue
Suite 100, in Bellevue, Washington. He
will arrange an initial consultation with a phone call to (425) 452-3092.
