You can get a divorce if you want to end your marriage 

Yes, ending a marriage is challenging for both spouses. It involves not only emotional stress, but also dealing with numerous legal processes. But we're here to help!  Divorce is not only about ending a relationship, but also about making important decisions that will affect your family and financial future.  Before filing for divorce, you should first check residency requirements in the state where you want to file for divorce. All states require that you, and sometimes your spouse, have lived a specific period of time in the state. The residential period is usually around six months, but some states have different requirements. You can check these requirements on this website. Several states also require that you and your spouse have lived separately before filing for a divorce or finalizing a divorce in court. These states include: Arkansas (at least 18 months of separation);Delaware (6 months);Kentucky (60 days);Louisiana (180 days or 365 days if you have kids);North Carolina (1 year);South Carolina (1 year); Vermont (6 months);Virginia (6 months or 1 year if you have kids); Washington, D.C. (6 months).It is desirable that you and your spouse agree on major divorce issues such as the division of marital assets, child support, child custody, and alimony. In that case, you can file for an uncontested divorce. It will save you time, money, and nerves. However, if your spouse doesn't agree to get a divorce or isn't ready to agree on all major divorce issues, you must undergo a contested divorce process. A contested divorce means that you and your spouse will need to resolve disagreements through either litigation in court or mediation with the help of a hired third party.  Grounds for divorce are divided into two types: fault and no-fault. Fault-based divorces have a particular reason behind them. Examples of such reasons for a fault-based divorce include: Cruelty (inflicting unnecessary emotional or physical pain);Adultery (cheating or other infidelity);Abandonment for a specific amount of time;Incurable insanity;Imprisonment for a set number of years;Physical inability to engage in sexual intercourse, if a spouse didn't disclose the inability prior to marriage.Fault-based divorces exist in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The majority of divorces are no-fault. No-fault-based divorce means that the marriage ends just because it can or should not survive any longer. In such cases, the spouses have differences that prevent them from continuing a relationship together. Under state laws, such grounds are stated as:  Incompatibility;Irreconcilable differences;Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.Generally, the divorce process includes completing court forms for your state and filing these forms with the court. Sometimes you will be required to attend court hearings as well. Getting a divorce is quite an easy process when you and your spouse: Don't have children born or adopted during your marriage;Don't own many assets together;Don't have many debts together.In other situations, the divorce process is more complicated, since you and your spouse have to agree on child custody and property division. However, it is still very feasible.  We advise you to consider contacting a divorce lawyer if you and your spouse have children together or many assets/debts to divide. Hiring a lawyer reduces stress, helps you achieve a better outcome, and mitigates further litigation risks.
