Irreconcilable differences are one possible grounds for a divorce in the United States; often they are used as justification for a no-fault divorce. Any sort of difference between the two parties that either cannot be changed or the individual does not want to make the change can be considered irreconcilable differences. Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage, which can be contrasted with an annulment which is a declaration that a marriage is void, though the effects of marriage may be recognized in such unions, such as spousal support, child custody and distribution of property. ... No-fault divorce is the dissolution of a marriage, upon petition to the court by either party, without the requirement that the petitioner show fault on the part of the other party. ...
(b) No divorce shall be granted on the ground of irreconcilabledifferences unless the court affirmatively finds in its decree that the parties have made adequate and sufficient provision by written agreement for the custody and maintenance of any children of that marriage and for the equitable settlement of any property rights between the parties.
(f) Irreconcilabledifferences may be asserted as a sole ground for divorce or as an alternate ground for divorce with any other cause for divorce set out in § 36-4-101 or § 36-4-102.
There is no requirement that there be a hearing prior to irreconcilabledifferencesdivorce where the parties have signed a marital dissolution agreement, nor is the court required to make an independent investigation prior to signing the parties' divorce decree.
