NC legislators propose more rigorous divorce regulations
A pair of Republican lawmakers want to make it harder to get a divorce in North Carolina by making estranged couples wait longer and go to counseling.
The Healthy Marriage Act would extend to two years the current one-year waiting period in order for a divorce to be finalized. During that time, the couple would have to complete courses on improving their communications skills and conflict resolution.
Yeah, nothing like forcing people who don’t want to be together to stay with each other twice as long.
