Term Definition Claim - the charge by one spouse against another.
Application in Divorce In fault divorces, spouses make claims against one another, which are the grounds for divorce; in no-fault actions there are no claims.

All claims in a divorce case must be substantiated with evidence.

For example, claiming that a adultery as grounds for divorce must be substantiated with evidence like video, photos, e-mails, and unusual spending habits.
