Divorce occurs when a court order dissolves a marriage.
The party who did not initiate the proceeding has no legal ground from which to contest the divorce. Despite its having gained national interest, the bill remains in committee. When both parties agree to divorce, a no-fault standard would remain. If there are minor children, both parties would have to participate in a pre-divorce education program. If the second party does not consent to divorce, the person initiating the action must prove that there are grounds for the divorce.
