In the United States, there is essentially only one type of legal marriage.  Husband and wife, husband and husband, wife and wife, it is still the same.  That is not true when it involves breaking that marriage.  There are many types of divorce. We will review a few here.

Grounds for divorce are different in each state. Some states have no-fault divorce; some states require a declaration of fault on the part of one partner or both; some states allow either method.

In most jurisdictions, a divorce must be certified, or ordered by a judge, by a court of law to be legal. Terms of a divorce are determined by the courts, although prenuptial agreements or post-nuptial agreements may be taken into account.  Unlike some countries, in the United States agreements related to the marriage normally have to be rendered in writing to be enforceable. In absence of agreement, a contested divorce may be stressful to the spouses.  To avoid undue stress to either spouse, Phoenix divorce attorney Larson and Simpson (http://www.larsonandsimpson.com/) endeavor to make the process as smooth as possible.

A contested divorce means that one of several issues is required to be heard by a judge at trial level.   Contested divorces are more expensive, and each party will pay for an attorney's time and preparation. In a contested divorce the spouses are not able to agree on issues. Two common issues are child custody and the division of marital assets. The process takes longer to conclude when these issues are at stake.  A judge determines the outcome of the case. Less confrontational approaches to divorce settlements have become more popular. Mediation and collaborative divorce settlement, which negotiate equally acceptable resolutions, are two of these approaches...

Before the late 1960s, almost all countries that permitted divorce required proof by one party that the other party had performed an act discordant to the marriage. This was known as "grounds" for divorce.  At the time it was the only way to terminate a marriage. In the United States, no-fault divorce is available in all fifty states.  Fault-based divorces could be challenged.  The evaluation of any offenses can involve allegations of collusion of the parties, when the parities work together to get the divorce, condemnation, connivance, where someone may be tricked into committing an offense, or provocation by either party. Contested fault divorces can be very expensive. They are not usually practical - most divorces are granted eventually anyway. A doctrine known as comparative rectitude is used to determine which party is more at fault when both spouses are guilty of breaches.

The grounds for a divorce which a party needed to prove included desertion, abandonment, cruelty and adultery.  This requirement of proving a ground was withdrawn by the terms of 'no-fault' statutes, which became popular in many western countries in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 'no-fault' jurisdictions, divorce can be obtained on either a simple contention of irreconcilable differences, or irretrievable break-down, or incompatibility, or on the ground of de facto separation. Phoenix divorce attorney Larson and Simpson can help determine the best recourse when a divorce is the only way.
