Description

Divorce; affidavit in support. Changes the requirements in affidavits for no-fault divorce relating to incarceration from affirming or verifying that neither party is incarcerated to affirming or verifying the incarceration status of both parties. The bill also replaces references to "allegations" in such affidavits with "grounds for divorce," language more consistent with the rest of the title. Read the Bill »
