Preferred term

no-fault divorce  

Definition

  • No-fault divorce is the legal dissolution of marriage without assignment of fault or blame. Unlike the prior fault-based divorce regime, it is an ostensibly nonadversarial procedure that can be initiated by one spouse without the specific consent or approbation of the other.
