For table-style overview of states' divorce laws on particular subjects, see the ABA Family Law Quarterly's tables on divorce grounds and residency requirements and on other family law issues.
Bear in mind that the tables' accuracy is somewhat restricted by their format and choice of categories.
The information on this web site comes from the ABA tables, the Martindale-Hubbell Digest of State Laws, and, in some cases, state or national statutes. Information has been checked against state statutes except where otherwise noted.
