“Grounds for divorce” are the legal reasons for a divorce. “Irretrievable Breakdown of the Marriage” is the only ground available under which a spouse can seek divorce in Washington. Both the parties must agree to dissolve the marriage for the court to pass the decree of dissolution. In case the other party denies that the marriage has been irretrievably broken or there has been use of force, fraud by the spouse then the court will initiate investigate the allegations and decide the matter accordingly. If the grounds alleged are baseless, then the court can dismiss the petition.
