Creating a federal level divorce law, that makes dissolving marriages more difficult, would include:
1. Justification for termination.
**All other steps will be exempt if proof of insanity or abuse is provided.
2. Set higher fees than any state currently has.
3. Both parties must attend marital counseling for a period of one year.
4. After counseling will follow a six month "trial" separation period prior to final termination.
The change in law would encourage couples to thoroughly think through and know whether they are ready for marriage beforehand. The change would also force couples to work on their issues prior to divorce and allow a chance to save family and the future of their children.
