According to The Huffington Post<\/a>, a British study has shown that \u201cunreasonable behavior\u201d is now being cited as a cause for divorce more often than infidelity is. Of course, the definition of \u201cunreasonable\u201d is quite varied.
\nThe British don\u2019t have no-fault divorces, and so must list reasons why the marriage has to end. In Minnesota, however, no-fault divorce is the law. This means it doesn’t matter why the marriage is dissolving. The cause could be infidelity, financial indiscretions or the stereotypical \u201ctube of toothpaste\u201d conflict. It simply doesn’t matter as far as the law is concerned.<\/p>\n

The division of marital property, child custody, child support and spousal support are handled according to the same laws and guidelines and there\u2019s no particular profit in trying to convince the judge that you are the one in the right.
\nThat doesn’t mean that every divorce is the same. Far from it. Every divorce is different, and the law can apply to those differences in many important ways.
\nIt just means that the \u201ccause\u201d of a divorce doesn’t matter. A judge\u2019s decision generally won\u2019t be swayed one way or another by who did what to whom unless other laws were broken and those laws apply to the case.
\nMinnesota is an \u201cequitable distribution\u201d state. Equitable quite often means \u201cequal,\u201d but not necessarily so. A series of factors are taken into account as assets are divided\u2014and none of those factors include the reason for the divorce.
\nIf your marriage is truly over, who was \u201cright\u201d and who was \u201cwrong\u201d no longer matters. What matters is protecting your interests so you can rebuild your life when the dust settles.
