Divorce Grounds:
A divorce decree may be granted based on the following reasons:
- Irreconcilable differences.
- Extreme cruelty - defined as serious physical or mental abuse by a spouse inflicted upon the other.
- Adultery - voluntary sexual activities with somebody other than a person's spouse.
- Willful abandonment when one spouse voluntarily deserts the other spouse, refusing sexual relations and leaves the family home with no intent to return (it is not desertion if an abused spouse left for reasons of safety). If both spouses mutually agree to separate, it will not be considered desertion. This cause for divorce must continue for at least a year before it can be consider as grounds for divorce.
- Willful neglect by refusing to provide for the needs of the other spouse when fully capable of doing so. This cause for divorce must continue for at least a year before it can be consider as grounds for divorce.
- Drug or alcohol abuse to the extent it interferes with normal everyday functions or which inflicts excessive mental distress on the other spouse. This cause for divorce must continue for at least a year before it can be consider as grounds for divorce.
- Conviction of a felony.
