Leyes de divorcio por estado (2026): causales, residencia y bienes

Actualizaciones

Se corrigió la cita de la recodificación de Utah al Utah Code 81-4-405 (causales de divorcio) y se eliminó a Maryland de la lista de estados que exigen un periodo de separación, ya que la Sección 7-103(a) del Código de Familia de Maryland permite el divorcio por diferencias irreconciliables sin separación.
