divorce

Generally, PA is a no fault state so there is no legal nor practical reason to assert fault grounds such as adultery.  The 2 types of no fault are a one year separation and consent. Regarding the joint bank account, that was clearly marital so she must account for those funds.  Marital property is defined as all assets acquired during the marriage, including any increase in value of non marital property.  Accordingly, all assets must be considered for purposes of distribution.   I trust this answers your questions but do not hesitate to call or email me on a free initial basis.    Matthew R.
