You have a choice here. You can read the divorce statutes as they are written, or you can consult our more user-friendly versions of divorce laws. For a list of state research pages, click here.

Child Support. A real flash-point. Consult our abbreviated details or read directly from your state's web page devoted to this topic. It will pay for you to be familiar with your state's laws. Locate your state from any page using the "Select a State"  drop-down box to the left of this paragraph or go to your state's web page.

Child Custody. Educate yourself on what parameters your state sets for granting and maintaining child custody. Historically, child custody is awarded to Mothers in more than 80% of the cases, but courts in recent years have been granting child custody to Fathers in greater numbers. Your state may or may not fall into a more progressive environment for child custody.

Grounds. There are two types of grounds for divorce; fault and no-fault. You'll find what your state makes available using the state research drop down box to the left. Most states today allow both. Adultery is the most common plea in fault cases, and "irreconcilable differences" occurs most frequently in no-fault judgments.

Alimony. Does ten years mean you can receive alimony? Find out what your state allows. You might be very surprised.

Division of Assets. The majority of states rely on the method of "equitable distribution" of marital assets, which, in lay terms, allows your judge some leeway based on your specific situations. The judicial attempt is to equitably divide the assets (and liabilities), but not necessarily "equal" to both sides. Nine states are known as "Community Property states and are explained on each state page.
