What is Recrimination?
Recrimination is a defense to a divorce complainant's charge of fault grounds for divorce against the defendant spouse. The defendant raises a defense that the plaintiff committed the same acts that the defendant is accused of committing. Due to modern no-fault divorces, this defense has been abolished in many states.
