Bill Summary
No-fault divorce; corroboration requirement. Removes the corroborating witness requirement for no-fault divorces.
AI Summary
This bill removes the corroborating witness requirement for no-fault divorces. Under the current law, a divorce, annulment, or affirmation of a marriage cannot be granted on the uncorroborated testimony of the parties or either of them, except for divorces granted on the grounds of separation for a certain period of time. This bill removes that exception, allowing no-fault divorces to be granted without the need for corroborating testimony.
