  • Absolute Divorce
    An absolute divorce, is a judicial termination of a marriage based on marital misconduct or other statutory cause arising after the marriage ceremony in which both parties' status becomes single again.

  • Limited Divorce
    Several state jurisdictions' statutes authorize limited divorces. The consequences of limited divorces vary from state to state. Typically, a limited divorce is commonly referred to as a separation decree; the right to cohabitation is terminated but the marriage is undissolved and the status of the parties is not altered.

  • No Fault Divorce
    No fault divorce law eliminates requirement of "proof of fault" by providing for the dissolution of a marriage on a finding that the relationship is no longer viable.
