MODERATE

This bill was amended to clarify the effective date and committee status, while significantly updating the grounds for no-fault divorce in New York. The changes replace outdated language about 'husband and wife' with gender-neutral 'spouses' and update the separation requirement from one year to six months for both judicial and agreement-based separations.

Scope change

The bill now applies to all spouses regardless of gender and reduces the required separation period from one year to six months for both court-ordered and written agreement separations.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed language from 'husband and wife' to 'spouses' to ensure gender-neutral application of divorce laws.

REQUIREMENT

Reduced the required separation period from one year to six months for both judicial decrees and written separation agreements.

TECHNICAL

Added committee discharge language and updated bill versioning to reflect amendments made during the legislative process.

DEFINITION

Updated the legal citations to reflect changes made by previous legislation (chapters 835 of 1970 and 801 of 1971).
