In Marietta, you and your spouse may agree to divorce when the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” meaning there is a substantial incompatibility between the two of you that cannot be resolved. Pursuing this no-fault ground may result in a faster divorce.
Otherwise, to get a fault-based divorce, you must prove the facts that justify the dissolution of your marriage. State law provides 12 fault-based grounds for divorce, including adultery, cruel treatment, and desertion. You are required to establish whichever fault-based ground(s) you cite as the reason for your divorce.
