Pennsylvania is a no-fault divorce state.
Spouses can obtain a divorce without alleging fault on the part of the other spouse.
However, you can still pursue a divorce based on fault grounds if you choose to do so. There are two ways to obtain a no-fault divorce. If both parties consent, a divorce decree may be sought 90 days after the divorce complaint has been served. If one party does not agree, though, you must wait 2 years from the date of separation. At that time, you would be able to seek a divorce without the consent of the other party.
