SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Divorce; affidavit in support. Changes the requirements in affidavits for no-fault divorce relating to incarceration from affirming or verifying that neither party is incarcerated to affirming or verifying the incarceration status of both parties. The bill replaces references to "allegations" in such affidavits with "grounds for divorce," language more consistent with the rest of the title. The bill also provides that, if either party is incarcerated, neither party shall submit evidence by affidavit without leave of court or the consent in writing of the guardian ad litem for an incarcerated party, or of an incarcerated party if a guardian ad litem is not required.
