Arizona is a no fault state. You can file for divorce for any reason. If you want more information about the process, I would suggest consulting an attorney.

You don't need a reason in Wisconsin as it is a no fault state. You just need to be able to say you have irreconcilable differences.

That is as good a reason as any. However, you can divorce for irreconcilable differences, which amounts to the same thing as a no-fault divorce.

One person can file a divorce when that person can tell a Judge that the objects of matrimony has been destroyed and there is no reasonable likelihood that they could ever live with their spouse again. Fault is not a consideration under this standard.

You do not have to state any reason beyond "irreconcilable differences".

The only significant ground for divorce is that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken.' Translation into English: you get a divorce if you want one.

You can divorce your husband for any reason you choose. His infidelity (and the resulting child) is likely not relevant to the divorce proceedings. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.
