In Pennsylvania, no-fault divorces are categorized into two types: consent divorce and unilateral divorce.
1. Consent Divorce
- Requires mutual agreement between both parties, affirmed through an affidavit.
- The affidavit must state that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no chance of reconciliation.
- The court cannot grant the divorce until at least 90 days after filing.
2. Unilateral Divorce
- In this case, one party must allege that they have been living apart for at least one year.
- Similar to consent divorce, it must also be affirmed that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no possibility of reconciliation.
- Living apart can include living under the same roof, provided there is proof that cohabitation has ceased.
