What are the reasons or “grounds” upon which a divorce may be obtained in Pennsylvania?

July 7th, 2011 1:31 am

Pennsylvania has “no-fault” and “fault” divorces. “No-fault” requires irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and either a mutual consent to the entry of the divorce decree or a two year separation. There are a number of “fault” grounds, including grounds or charges of adultery, indignities, desertion and other marital wrongs. Defenses to “fault” grounds for divorce include but are not limited to “recrimination” (accusing party is guilty of acts constituting grounds for “fault divorce” such as adultery or desertion) and “condonation” (accusing party forgives spouse by resuming cohabitation or sexual relations.) Most contested divorces arise from property division disputes.

Philadelphia

Pennsylvania’s largest city – also the second-largest city on the east coast and the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States – is one of the most important cities on the east coast, although surprisingly few travellers stop here en route between New York and Washington DC. Philly offers many attractions including the vibrant Center City and the Independence National Historical Park area and is well worth a look.

Historically, Philly has been an important city. At one point it was the largest city in the United States surpassing even New York City in importance as a cultural and business city and it was the US capital until the 1790s.
