REFORMED DIVORCE
LAW INTRODUCED
IN LEGISLATURE
Especial to Times-Rtcorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, July Three
measures, providing for sweeping
changes in Georgia's divorce laws
were introduced in the legislature to-
day. They were drawn up by Judge
w. D. Ellis. of the Fulton superior
court, and were presented by the
Fulton county delegation.
The first bill provides that when
ever total divorce is granted IN
Georgia, neither of the parties shall
be permitted to re-marry until year
has elapsed after the final decree is
issued by the court.
Under the law as it at present ex-
lists, a divorcee can go directly from
the courtroom to the preacher and be
come bride all in the same day, and
such instances have actually occurred
more than once in Atlanta.
The second bill provides that no
total divorce shall be given as at
present. on the uncorroborated evi-
dence of one of the parties to the
suit.
AS the law now stands, man whose
wife may happen to be in California,
can go ahead in this state and make
all sorts of charges against her, and
if she never hears of them and fails
to return to fight the suit, be can re-
ceive his divorce without the wife, or
husband, as the case may be, ever
hearing anything about the proceed
ings.
The third bill provides that upon
recommendation of probation officer,
the judge may appoint the solicitor
general or some attorney to represent
the state at the divorce trial.
Judge Ellis has for number of
years been urging upon the state the
revision of the lax divorce laws which
make the getting of divorces easy in
| Georgia, and which have made At
lanta a sort of Reno in re cent years,
