How To Prove A Florida Divorce – Fault – Irretrievably Broken Claim

A fault-based divorce is a more traditional process which requires at least one spouse to prove their marital partner is legally at fault and ask a judge to grant a divorce.

* Both parties have expressed a desire to separate and have been living apart for the last three months.
* Attempts at marriage counseling have been unsuccessful, with both spouses agreeing that no progress was made.
