Can I get a no-fault divorce in Arkansas without waiting 18 months before filing?

If not, can I get a divorce because I do not trust my husband? He lies to me about things and I just can't take it anymore. I don't want to stay with him any longer if he is just going to keep lying to me, I would rather just move on now.

For a "no-fault" divorce you and your husband will have to be separated, without cohabitation, for at least 18 months. Your post does not have enough detail, and you likely do not want to put too much information on the Internet anyway. Many family law attorneys offer free initial consultations, and so you may want to speak with an attorney to see if you can establish grounds for divorce.

In Arkansas you have to have grounds for divorce unless you have been separated for 18 months. However one of the most common grounds for divorce is what is known as general indignities. Most likely you have enough factual circumstances to qualify for a divorce under the grounds of general indignities. General indignities includes a wide range of wrongful acts, including things like mental and emotional abuse, abusive language, persistent humiliation, persistent dishonesty, ongoing disrespect, ect. If you will seek a consultation from an attorney they can help you determine if you can prove those grounds or not.
