There are two categories of grounds for divorce in Rochester, ever since a 2010 reform of matrimonial law by the New York legislature.
The first category is grounds based on fault, which include things like adultery and abandonment, while the second category, a ground called Irretrievable Breakdown, is not based on either party being at fault for the failure of the marriage.
