South Dakota or NY?

This article seems to contradict itself. It states that South Dakota was the last state to legislate no-fault divorce, but then it says that New York State does not have no-fault divorce. What's going on here? 72.25.7.18 (talk) 18:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Divorce in the United States ?

Is there figures available ??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.12.233.23 (talk) 09:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article appears to suborn perjury as shown in this quote about getting around residency laws in Nevada by obtaining false testimony and submitting it. The article needs cleaning up. Jerry Jerryocrow (talk) 06:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mergefrom Divorce (United States)

Divorce (United States) appears to be some sort of a split from Divorce. It covers a lot of the same information and I hypothesise the reason it was done was because it was US-biased, without intending to step on the toes of this article. Most of the info (which is the same as on Divorce) can probably be lost without a problem and I was tempted to mark it for deletion, but there's a little bit of stuff there that should probably be here. Basically the stats section. —Felix the Cassowary 21:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should be the "high level" article, calling the legal article, "Divorce (United States)." But the latter needs renaming to distinguish it as a separate legalistic article. Right now there is definitely a confusion.

Merging them would only result in legal issues being too mixed in the combined article here rather than a summary someplace before linking to the legal article. It would really mess up the legal article which, to date, only addresses legal issues. Having a wall of separation is nice. And important. Student7 (talk) 13:17, 5 December 2009

Read it too quickly. Both seem to only address legal issues. I think one needs to specialize in legal, the other, the higher level article should address persona issues that might contain statistics on divorce, and unique touchy-feely stuff (sorry, can't think of the right word! :) that is outside the legal sphere, but is unique to the US, or on which the US has statistics and other countries do not (which would be typical).
