A divorce is a legal dissolution of a lawful
marriage. It is distinct from an annulment,
which is a legal declaration that the
marriage was invalid. The ease with which a
divorce can be obtained in different
countries varies considerably and is also
affected by different religious practices.
In the US divorce laws differ from state to
state. New laws in the UK now make it
difficult for a "quicky" divorce a 18 month
"cooling off" period has been enforced.
