No Fault Divorces in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania recognizes two primary no-fault divorce options:

1. Consent Divorce

  • Mutual Agreement Required:
    Both parties must agree to the divorce, and this mutual consent is confirmed through an affidavit.
  • Affidavit Statement:
    In the affidavit, both spouses must state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” with no prospect of reconciliation.
  • Waiting Period:
    The court will not grant a consent divorce until at least 90 days have passed.

2. Unilateral Divorce

  • Separation Requirement:
    One spouse must allege that the parties have lived apart for at least one year, with the marriage being “irretrievably broken” and without any hope of reconciliation.
  • Living Apart Under the Same Roof:
    Even if the spouses share the same residence, a unilateral divorce may be granted if they can demonstrate that they have effectively ceased cohabitating.
