No-Fault Divorce
A no-fault divorce means you do not have to prove that your spouse did something wrong (like adultery or cruelty) to end the marriage. Florida is a no-fault divorce state: a spouse only needs to state that the marriage is "irretrievably broken," and the court can grant the dissolution without assigning blame. This is the standard ground for nearly every Florida divorce, including our firm's flat-fee uncontested cases.

Legal Definition
A dissolution granted on the ground that the marriage is irretrievably broken under F.S. §61.052, without proof of marital misconduct; mental incapacity is the only other statutory ground.
Example
Because Florida is a no-fault divorce state, they simply stated the marriage was irretrievably broken rather than blaming either spouse.
