Both parties do not have to agree to divorce. Only one spouse is required to prepare a divorce petition and file the paperwork with the court. Each state establishes its own grounds for divorce. These grounds may include voluntary separation, adultery, abandonment, abuse or incarceration. As long as you can establish that your situation fits one of your state's grounds for divorce, a judge may dissolve the marriage even if your spouse does not agree.
