NEW DIVORCE PROBLEMS

Rulings Needed

The Matrimonial Canses Act. been 1937, which has already the subject of much judicial discussion, will have to be fur- ther considered when the Law Courts reopen October 12 after th Long Vacation

Although many problems raised by the Act, which came into force on January 1. have been solved by the Judges of the Divorce Divi- sion, rulings on several important points are sought for the future guidance of lawyers and litigants.

One matter to come up for early consideration concerns le cir- cumstances in which the respon- dent to a divorce suit is entitled to trave a decree nisi, made absolute.

Before the new Act became operative, the respondent-in law right "the "guilty party"—had no to apply for decree nisi to be made absolute..

CHECK TO REMARRIAGE Thus a woman petitioner might | prevent her husband from re- niarrying by never applying for the decree absolute, or might delay the application for mercenary motives.

In the same way, a man could stop his wife from marrying a co- respondent and regularising her position.
