Irreconcilable differences: A staple ground for divorce

In a country that is administrated through a federal government, laws and their respective implementations may differ from one state to another—including the divorce law.

Nonetheless, though each has its own unique tenet about divorce, the states share a very strong probable cause to nullify a marriage: irreconcilable differences.

“Irreconcilable differences”—as ground for divorce—becomes valid when it is already impossible for a married couple to live together normally and harmoniously, or when a wedded male and a female can no longer agree with basic and fundamental issues involving the entire family or the marriage itself.

The good thing about using “irreconcilable differences” as grounds for divorce is that there’s no such thing as “trifle” when it comes to determining its weight of validity. A simple difference in choosing what particular bed sheet color would be used for the week or disagreeing on each other’s political view or a plain annoyance on hearing the other party’s loud snorting when sleeping can be enough to nullify a marriage. Any matter, as long as it becomes a hindrance to a couple’s harmonious living, can be a solid cause and foundation to push for a marriage’s revocation.

At some point, both parties have to agree

Divorce, however, will not come to a conclusion if both parties would not agree that their marriage can’t be saved due to their differences in opinion. If this is the case, it would not arrive to its final stage, to irrevocability.
