States demanding separation before divorce
The article discusses North Carolina's outdated divorce law, which requires couples to live apart for at least a year before filing, causing significant difficulties for those seeking to end abusive or unworkable relationships. Advocacy efforts are underway to shorten the separation period to six months or eliminate it for uncontested divorces and cases involving domestic violence. Many women, including survivors and advocates, highlight how the law prolongs emotional, physical, and financial hardships, emphasizing the need for legal reform to better protect and empower individuals seeking divorce.
