ALABAMA Part 4

FAULT OR NO-FAULT DIVORCES

Divorces in the state can either assign fault or be considered no-fault divorces. No-fault divorces can be granted by a judge if the spouses prove they cannot live together because there is an “incompatibility of temperament,” if there has been an irretrievable breakdown in the marriage, or if one party has voluntarily abandoned the other.

The other option for divorces in Alabama is a divorce where fault is assigned.  Under that type of divorce, one spouse has to file for divorce citing one of several reasons, including:

    If one party was, at the time of the marriage,  physically and incurably incapacitated from entering into the marriage state.
    Adultery
    Imprisonment
    The commission of a crime, either before or after marriage
    Drug addiction


The no-fault and fault divorces have different processes so contact us at (205) 322-1201 so we can discuss your options with you.
