An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in dissolution of marital status, further providing for decree of court.

Summary

The legislation changes the domestic relations code so a judge can issue a divorce or annulment decree before completing property, support, and other matters, as long as there is consent and adequate economic protection for any minor children, or if safety or criminal factors are present. It primarily impacts couples going through divorce, especially those dealing with abuse or criminal accusations, by allowing quicker legal separation while still protecting children.
