The decision to divorce can change one's life by 180 degrees. If both spouses agree that they want to part on a friendly basis, it is worth considering petition for divorce without declaring fault<\/strong>. What should be included in such a lawsuit I will explain in today's post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you want to end your marriage quickly, opting out of the court's finding of fault should speed up the proceedings. For this to be possible, both spouses must agree to a no-fault divorce. According to the Family and Guardianship Code, when pronouncing a divorce the court will also decide whether or not the spouses are at fault for the breakdown of the marriage, unless the spouses unanimously request that the court refrain from ruling on guilt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can file for divorce without adjudication of fault and what should be included in the petition?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

An application for divorce without adjudication of fault may be filed by either spouse, but it is not possible to file a joint action<\/strong>. In the body of the statement of claim, it should be pointed out that there has been a the complete and permanent breakdown of the marriage<\/strong>. This means that the spiritual, physical and economic bond between the spouses has been extinguished and the spouses see no chance of changing this situation. These are prerequisites that must always be met together, otherwise the court will not be able to pronounce a divorce. It should also be clear from the wording of the petition that the plaintiff is requesting that no adjudication of fault be made. The petition may also contain other claims related to, for example, a ruling on parental authority, alimony, division of property. It all depends on the specific case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application for divorce shall be submitted in duplicate to the court in whose district the spouses were last domiciled, if at least one of them still has his or her domicile or habitual residence in that district. In the absence of such a ground, only the court of the defendant's domicile shall have jurisdiction, and if there is no such ground either, the court of the plaintiff's domicile. The petition for divorce is always filed with the district court.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The fee for a petition for divorce should be paid by the petitioning spouse. This fee is currently PLN 600. If a divorce is pronounced without the adjudication of fault, the court will reimburse the petitioner PLN 300 of the fee, while the other spouse will be obliged in the divorce judgment to reimburse the petitioner half of the costs of the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is a no fault divorce quicker?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This depends on several circumstances. If the spouses are in agreement on the divorce, as well as being able to agree on the issue of parental responsibility and maintenance, and there is no need for evidence in this respect, a divorce can be obtained already at the first hearing. Of course, both parties must be present in person at the hearing, as the court always has to hear the spouses in order to determine whether there has been a complete and permanent dissolution of marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In divorce proceedings, the parties are not obliged to use a lawyer acting as an attorney. However, it is advisable to turn to a professional to ensure that the petition is prepared correctly and that someone will be watching over the proper course of the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my next post, I will outline the consequences associated with divorce without an adjudication of guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
