What are the grounds for divorce in Minnesota?

A judge can grant you a divorce if s/he finds that there was an “irretrievable breakdown” of your marriage, which means your marriage cannot be saved. Unlike in many other states, there are no fault-based grounds for divorce in Minnesota.1

1 Minn. Stat. § 518.06(1)
