DO I NEED A REASON TO DIVORCE MY SPOUSE?

QUESTION: I was wondering if I need a specific reason to divorce my spouse. I am just simply unhappily married and I want to be free again. If I file for divorce, can she use this against me in court to get money from me?

MY RESPONSE:

The only reason you need to claim, for you to get a divorce, is a generic claim of irreconcilable differences which have led to an irremediable breakdown of your marriage. You already have those grounds.

There is no penalty to pay for being the party seeking the divorce.

Whether or not your wife is entitled to an award of any money depends upon whether or not she qualifies for a Spousal Support order, and whether or not there is any net community property for the Court to divide.
