A bill for an act relating to marriage, including the grounds for dissolution of marriage.

Summary

The bill permits people applying for a marriage license to sign a waiver that removes the ability to divorce simply because the marriage has broken down. If the waiver is filed, a divorce can only be granted on specific fault grounds such as adultery, felony conviction, abandonment, abuse, or a two‑year separation. The waiver is presumed valid unless a party proves by clear and convincing evidence that it was signed under fraud, duress, or coercion.
