FAQ

In the US, getting a divorce requires action by a court. Not all people getting a divorce must physically visit the courthouse. If it is uncontested, with no children and no disputes about property, then in many states the lawyers can walk it through without the need for the clients to go to the courthouse.

Under these circumstances, a divorce can be granted without a court hearing; Irretrievable breakdown (the marriage cannot be fixed) - you and your spouse have lived apart for a period of at least one year, and you file a complaint saying that the marriage is irretrievably broken (unfixable).

If your spouse won't consent to the divorce, you'll need to meet Pennsylvania's separation requirement. For divorces filed after December 5, 2016, this period is one year of living apart. This doesn't mean you have to move out of the marital home—living separate lives under the same roof can count as separation.

The easiest type of divorce, which takes the least amount of time, is called an uncontested divorce. If you're able to quickly come to an agreement with your spouse about alimony and division of property, your divorce can proceed through divorce court rather quickly.

“Separate and apart” isn't an enforceable legal status but rather a definition to help establish grounds for divorce. To be eligible for divorce in Pennsylvania, there's a minimum separation period of either 90 days or one year, depending on whether the divorce is mutual.

Pennsylvania recently adopted the Family Law Arbitration Act (FLAA), which became law on July 7, 2024. The FLAA allows decisions related to divorce, property division, alimony, child support and other matters to be made by a qualified third party “arbiter.”

What is §179 Property? The Pennsylvania Legislature passed legislation bringing Pennsylvania into conformity with Federal Tax Rules effective January 1, 2023. The Federal Income Tax rules contained in the Internal Revenue Code include deductions for §179 Property.
