In order to get a no-fault divorce in Pennsylvania, you must:

  • Be a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 6 months or me.

  • Both be willing to sign the divorce papers not only indicting that your marriage is over, but also explaining the legal significance of the end of your marital union.

If you meet the residency requirements, if you both agree that you want a divorce, and you both agree to the terms of your divorce, then a no-fault divorce may be the right move.
