In Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Maryland & Virginia, there are two types of divorces. An absolute divorce and a limited divorce.

An absolute divorce in Virginia, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, & Massachusetts (a.k.a "divorce a vinculo matrimonii") is the termination of a marriage based on misconduct during the marriage or other statutory factors arising during the marriage. The outcome of an absolute divorce in Virginia, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, & Massachusetts is that both parties resume single status.

Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Maryland & Virginia also allows a limited divorce (a.k.a "divorce a mensa et thoro"). Generally, a Massachusetts, New York, Maryland or Virginia limited divorce is commonly referred to as a divorce from bed and board; the right of cohabitation is terminated but the marriage is undissolved and the status of the parties is not altered.

No fault divorces in Virginia, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, & Massachusetts are often referred to as a divorce due to irreconcilable differences. No fault divorces are oftentimes also "uncontested divorces". Usually, this means that the divorcing parties do not object to the termination of the marriage. In Virginia, an uncontested divorce is fairly common - as also with uncontested divorces in Maryland and Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts, Maryland, New York & Virginia divorce laws are complex. It is very important to find a divorce attorney who is highly competent & knowledgeable about the divorce laws in the state your divorce is pending or you are going to file in. A divorce attorney who is not knowledgeable about the divorce laws of the state you have a divorce in can result in disastrous consequences for the client.

The most common issues arising from divorces are the following:

Where are the parties going to reside while the divorce is pending?
If there are children, whom are the children going to live with while the divorce is pending and after the divorce?
Who is going to pay child support the children and possibly alimony for one of the parties?
