Pennsylvania's divorce laws have evolved significantly, moving from a fault-based system to a primarily no-fault system. The 1980 Divorce Code introduced no-fault divorce, allowing couples to divorce without proving fault. This was followed by amendments in 1988 that further streamlined the process. Currently, Pennsylvania primarily relies on the "no-fault" concept, requiring couples to state that their marriage has reached an "irretrievable breakdown".
