No fault divorce places primary responsibility for the decisions and terms of a marriage termination with the parties rather than with the State and provides the courts with a reduced discretionary role.

In fault divorces, the complaint for divorce must state grounds for divorce.
Whether a divorce is contested or uncontested should not be confused with whether the divorce is fault or no-fault.
Both fault and no-fault divorces can be contested.

Most states are considered "no fault" states, which means that a person who wants a divorce from his or her spouse does not have to prove that the divorce is due to misconduct or fault of the other party.
