Grounds and Requirements for Divorce in Pennsylvania

In the state of Pennsylvania, couples are allowed to divorce on both fault and no-fault grounds. Fault grounds can include desertion, extreme cruelty, adultery, a felony conviction, and bigamy. Conversely, no-fault divorces are based on the irreconcilable breakdown of a couple’s marriage. While fault will not have any effect on the distribution of marital assets, it can play a key role in the way alimony is awarded.

To file for divorce in Pennsylvania, spouses must meet the following requirements:

  • One spouse must have been a PA resident for at least six months before filing
  • The divorce must be filed in the county where either spouse lives

The length of the divorce process will vary depending on the grounds of divorce. Spouses who wish to divorce on no-fault grounds must each submit a sworn written statement agreeing to the divorce and endure a subsequent 90 day waiting period before a court will enter a final divorce judgment. Divorces that are not backed by mutual consent can take longer, as the divorce-seeking spouse must submit a sworn statement indicating that the couple has lived apart for a period of one year. Fault divorces, on the other hand, do not have a waiting period.
