Mexico mulling a law to allow marriages to expire after 2 years with no need to go through a divorce.
I think =4 touched on this idea a couple of times when gbaji was frothing at the mouth on marriages vs. civil unions vs. domestic partnerships vs. whatever. And if the marriage contract called for in the proposed law handles everything necessary (disposition of property and debts, child support, custody & visitation, etc.), why not?
As a paralegal, I have to admit that I'd be scared of this law simply because it makes the divorce market shrink and there is good money to be had in that. But I suppose that the market for contract negotiations would expand.
