Yes. It’s not required, but one spouse can allege that misconduct (adultery, for example) by the other spouse caused the breakdown of the marriage. Other fault grounds for divorce include desertion, mental incapacity at the time of marriage, marriage between people too closely related, impotency at the time of marriage, force or fraud in obtaining the marriage, conviction and imprisonment for certain crimes, mental or physical cruel treatment, habitual intoxication or drug addiction, and mental illness.
