Helpful Tips & Facts

Substantiating Your Grounds for Divorce
When filing for a divorce you must prove to the court that the alleged grounds actually exist or have transpired. If the filing spouse cannot prove that the alleged grounds exist or have transpired, then the case will be dismissed. For example, if a spouse is filing for a divorce based on allegations of abuse and it cannot be substantiated with evidence, the case will not be heard by the court.
