North Carolina legislators are considering a bill that would make it more
difficult to obtain a
divorce. The newly-introduced
Healthy Marriage Act
would extend the
separation period before obtaining a divorce to two years, and would require
husband and wife to receive conflict resolution counseling, as well as counseling if they have children. This bill comes directly
on the heels of a large number of questionable proposed laws that have
garnered North Carolina some (mostly unwanted)
national attention
of late. For more in-depth reading,
check out some facts about the proposed Act. If passed, this bill would completely change the practice of
family law in North Carolina, as it would directly affect almost every aspect of family life.
