No Fault Divorce

A Dignified Path to a New Beginning

Divorce is never easy but it doesn’t have to be a battle. In Washington, D.C., the law allows couples to end their marriage through a no-fault divorce, which focuses on moving forward rather than placing blame. At Royes Law LLC, we help clients navigate this process with clarity, compassion, and professionalism.

Our goal is simple: to help you separate peacefully, protect your rights, and start your next chapter with confidence.

What “No Fault” Means

In a no-fault divorce, neither spouse has to prove that the other did something wrong. Instead, the law recognizes that sometimes relationships simply reach a natural end. This approach helps reduce conflict and makes it easier for both sides to focus on practical matters such as property division, financial stability, and family peace.

In D.C., you can file for divorce if:

• You and your spouse have lived separate and apart for six months and both agree to the divorce, or
• You’ve lived apart for one full year, even if one spouse doesn’t agree.

This simplicity makes D.C. one of the most straightforward jurisdictions for no-fault divorce but that doesn’t mean you should go through it alone. Even an uncontested divorce involves important legal documents, deadlines, and decisions that can affect your finances and future.

Why Choose a No Fault Divorce

Many clients choose a no-fault divorce because it allows them to:

• Save time and money — no need for lengthy court battles or proving wrongdoing.
• Reduce stress — a cooperative approach helps avoid unnecessary emotional strain.
• Maintain privacy and dignity — details of marital conflict don’t become public record.
• Focus on rebuilding — the process encourages both parties to move forward instead of reliving the past.

A no-fault divorce can be especially beneficial for couples without children or those who have already agreed on property division and financial matters. It’s a respectful way to close one chapter and begin another guided by calm decision-making rather than conflict.
