Fault Base Grounds for divorce shows that the spouses conduct was inappropriate which led to the divorce. The fault base grounds have to be proven in court by the Plaintiff.  As a general rule, it is either alternatively filing a fault base ground with the alternative on being an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Most of the time I do not put down fault base grounds for divorce, but those aspects would include:

  • Adultery
  • Desertion
  • Gross and confirmed habits of intoxication
  • Cruel and abusive treatment
  • Non-support
  • Impotency
  • A prison sentence of 5 or more years  

The fault divorce process can be more time-consuming and expensive than a no-fault divorce.
