Reasons for divorce In Massachusetts
The no-fault ground for a divorce in Massachusetts is “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” The state also allows at-fault grounds including, but not limited to, adultery, impotence, imprisonment of at least five years and willful desertion of one year. Filing under an at-fault ground is usually a more complicated process, so for those looking for an easy, fast and inexpensive divorce, filing without fault is often a superior option.
