All U.S. states allow spousal abuse as grounds for divorce, typically categorized under "fault" grounds. This means that a spouse can file for divorce based on evidence of domestic violence or abuse. Additionally, many states also provide for "no-fault" divorce, allowing couples to separate without needing to prove wrongdoing. It's important for individuals in such situations to consult local laws or seek legal advice for specific procedures and protections available.
