Divorce in Pennsylvania

A Pennsylvania divorce can proceed in several ways, including:

Mutual consent: Most of the time, when both spouses agree about the terms of the divorce, the parties file affidavits of consent to request that a divorce be granted. The law requires a waiting period of 90 days, but if there are custody or property issues, it generally takes more.

Separation: When both spouses do not agree to the divorce, either party can request a divorce after they have been separated for at least one year.

Fault: ‘Divorces for cause’ are rarely filed in Pennsylvania anymore. In order to obtain a ‘divorce for cause’, the spouse seeking the divorce must establish that the other party caused the breakdown of the marriage. A ‘divorce for fault’ typically costs substantially more money and takes more time to process.
