A review of U S divorce law reveals wide disparities. Alabama allows pre and post marriage adultery as grounds while Georgia cites insanity and mental incapacity. Kentucky offers sixteen causes, Maine permits discretionary decrees, and Illinois expands beyond seven grounds. Delaware assigns fault differently by spouse, Nevada ties grounds to necessaries and lunacy, North Carolina leans toward easy divorce, Rhode Island cites gross misbehavior, and Connecticut features an omnibus clause. Tennessee recognizes attempted spousal use as a ground, yet a New York case shows limited grounds for murder versus adultery. Virginia allows divorce on pre marriage crime and misrepresentation, while West Virginia would permit unmarrying if a man was a rake before marriage. South Carolina’s stance on divorce is critiqued despite allowing mistress support. Overall, laws vary by state, with grounds ranging from adultery and cruelty to insanity, crime, and neglect.
