Two Types of Divorce

There are two types of divorce under Pennsylvania law: fault and no-fault divorce.

Fault

In a fault-based divorce, one spouse needs to prove that there are fault-based grounds for divorce. There are six categories of marital misconduct that qualify as a fault divorce in Pennsylvania:

Adultery
Desertion
Cruel and barbarous treatment
Bigamy
Imprisonment for a crime
Indignities

No-Fault

In a no-fault divorce where both parties agree to the divorce, the divorce can be completed as soon as 90 days after the initial filing. It must assert that the marriage is irretrievably broken. If one party does not agree to the divorce, a no-fault divorce requires that they have been separated for at least 2 years.
