Divorce Types Written on March 11, 2010, by Byron Ash.
There are different types of divorces that one would encounter. Though even if the types of divorces vary, there are only two causes that separate them. These are fault based and no-fault based divorces. Fault and no-fault divorces only differ as to why the divorce was requested. This also affects how properties and assets are divided and rewarded to the differing parties.
A no fault divorce system can dissolve the marriage without any form of offense from any of the divorcing parties. The application for separation can be made by both one member or both members to pursue a successful divorce. At least forty nine states in the US allow no fault divorces, and Canada and Germany are following suit. Common cause of a quiet divorce usually stems from incompatibilities, irrefutable differences and a declining relationship between one another in the course of marriage.
At fault divorce, meanwhile, requires proof that one party was engaging in extra-marital affairs, marital abuse and any similar acts that is violating the concept of marriage. Probably just as common as no-fault divorces, the majority of cases involve the husband as the cheater. These types of divorces are both expensive, tedious and very stressful. It always ends up in court with a contest over the division of assets and alimony.
A summary divorce in the mean time, is a more delicate case. It’s like return and exchange, or a trial deal. Couples must fulfill a certain criteria to submit for summary divorce. The requirements are the marriage should be below 5 years, they should have no children, no real property invested on, the joint properties should be below 35,000 dollars in value, as well as both personal properties should be below the same amount stated earlier.
Uncontested divorce is divorce agreed upon by both parties either with at-fault or no-fault. This usually is the case with most divorces of up to 9 out of 10. Assets, debt, properties and even custody on child care is divided and agreed upon by both parties. Collaborative and mediated divorces usually are uncontested, and are one of the most inexpensive types of divorces there is.
