“dissolution of marriage”
.
*’divorce’ is the ‘termination’ of a ‘marriage’ / ‘marital union’, the ‘cancelling’ and/or ‘re-organizing’ of the ‘legal duties/responsibilities’ of ‘marriage’, thus dissolving the bonds of ‘matrimony’ between a ‘married couple’ under the ‘rule of law’ of the particular ‘country’ and/or ‘state’)
.
Divorce laws vary considerably around the world, but in most countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process, which may involve issues of alimony (spousal support), child custody, child visitation / access, parenting time, child support, distribution of property, and division of debt.
In most countries, monogamy is required by law, so divorce allows each former partner to marry another person; where polygyny is legal but polyandry is not, divorce allows the woman to marry a new husband.
Divorce should not be confused with annulment, which declares the marriage null and void; with legal separation or de jure separation (a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a de facto separation while remaining legally married) or with de facto separation (a process where the spouses informally stop cohabiting).
Reasons for divorce vary, from sexual incompatibility or lack of independence for one or both spouses to a ‘personality clash’.
The only countries that do not allow divorce are the Philippines, the Vatican City and the British Crown Dependency of Sark.
(the ‘vatican city’ is an ‘ecclesiastical state’ which has no procedure for ‘divorce’)
