Understanding Maine's Divorce Laws
Each state has its own laws that govern divorce, including rules on filing for a "no-fault" or "at-fault" divorce; Maine's law allow for either type of divorce. "No-fault" divorces can be filed if it can be proven that the marriage has collapsed to the point that reconciliation is no longer an option, with neither spouse blaming the other for the breakdown.
In contrast, "at-fault" divorces are filed when one spouse blames the other for the end of the marriage.
What Are The Grounds For "At-Fault" Divorce in Maine?
Some reasons for pursuing this type of divorce may include:
- Abuse
- Adultery
- Extreme cruelty
- Impotence
- Neglect for three consecutive years
