2005 House Bill 5495

Provide a streamlined divorce procedure

Introduced in the House

Dec. 13, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Tonya Schuitmaker (R-80)

To establish a streamlined divorce procedure in which the parties just have to file an affidavit stating that all issues of the divorce have been resolved and that a consent judgment has been approved by both parties. This would be an alternative to the current procedure in which evidence is presented in open court.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
