When two people wish to dissolve their marriage it is known as a divorce. When a divorce is needed a person needs to find a family law attorney that specializes in divorce law. With so many different circumstances divorce law can be very complex. The complexities include division of assets as well as custody of any children. There a two types of divorce. The first is no-fault divorce and the second is called at-fault divorce. No-Fault DivorceA no-fault divorce is typically a non-complication divorce that is offered in every state. A no-fault divorce is normally filed when there is no wrongdoing by either party. No-fault divorce will usually give the reason for the divorce as irreconcilable differences or incompatibility. These reasons have been recognized by the law. Irreconcilable differences mean that the couple filing for divorce does not see eye to eye. During a no-fault divorce many states have a mandatory separation period before the divorce can be processed. This is a very common type of divorce filing as it is no longer required to prove wrongdoing. Even though the no-fault divorce is typically less complicated there are still issues that need to be resolved such as custody, asset distribution, child support, and in some cases alimony. At-Fault DivorceAt-fault divorce is not available in every state. However, there are circumstances that an at-fault divorce should be filed when available. When there is obvious wrongdoing by one of the people in the marriage such as abuse, adultery or abandonment it may be useful to file an at-fault divorce. When wrongdoing is a factor filing the at-fault divorce could mean that the other person will receive more of the couple’s assets. A benefit of filing an at-fault divorce is that there is no separation period requiring meaning the divorce tends to be processed faster.
