Mississippi will not add domestic violence as grounds for divorce

The ability to get a divorce with no questions asked is essential to protecting victims from abuse. We can dream hypothetical scenarios all day long, but the reality is that restrictive divorce laws keep abused spouses with abusers.

If my spouse told me they had their heart set on divorce I’d certainly try to talk them out of it, but if that was their decision, who other than an abusive spouse wouldn’t respect that anyway?
