When your spouse treats you “cruelly” can you get a divorce?
In any other state other than New York, the answer is probably yes, 100% of the time, because all other states are "no fault" states which means you don't have to prove anything other than "incompatibility" or "irreconcilable differences" or some permutation thereto. In New York, you better be prepared to show serious misconduct on the part of [...]

The 1976 movie, Sybil, starring Sally Field has been getting much replay and is one of the hot trends on Google this week and it made me start to think about mental illness in the context of divorce, and of custody of children. Sybil, the movie, is based on a real [...]
Sherm Stick use or addiction can lead to divorce
Weird Divorce News: The Sherm Stick divorce. Sherm Sticks as a term, and as a drug are new and trendy. What is a sherm stick?

If a spouse were to use illegal drugs, I believe that would be a basis for divorce in [...]

Should a wife “honey-trap” her hubby to prove “grounds”?
