Not quite PR , Arkansas allows both fault & no-fault divorce .

There is only one no-fault ground upon which to obtain a divorce in Arkansas and that is a divorce based on the spouses voluntarily living apart without cohabitation for 18 months. The court may approve or reject a marital settlement agreement of the spouses. Standard financial disclosure forms may be required to be filed. The additional grounds that a party may seek a divorce are based on assignment of fault and include: impotence; adultery; confinement for incurable insanity or separation caused by mental illness for a period of 3 years; conviction of a felony; cruel and inhuman treatment which endangers the life of the spouse; personal indignities; habitual intemperance (drunkenness) for 1 year; commission and/or conviction of an infamous crime; and nonsupport whereby the spouse is able to provide support but willfully fails to provide suitable maintenance for the complaining spouse.

To receive a court-approved divorce it is not necessary to show that either one of the parties was at fault in the decline of the marriage. The only thing that is necessary to prove is that there has been a breakdown in the marital relationship to the extent that the objects and goals of marriage have been destroyed and that no reasonable possibility remains that the marriage can be saved.

The assignment of fault may make a difference in terms of a court's final determination of the division of property. If one party is determined to be at fault for the breakdown of the marriage, then the court may award the other party more property

Careful. We don't want to learn from this.
