Modification of divorce statutes during divorce proceedings

Abstract

For each marriage, there is a specific annulment statute and a divorce statute. While the former cannot change and is referred to in the literature as an immutable statute, the divorce statute can change. The author of this article presents the issue of amending divorce statutes during the divorce trial in the light of private international law. He describes the legal norms contained in the Private International Law Act of 1926, the Private Interdistrict Law Act, the Code of Civil Procedure and cites the regulations of the Private International Law Act of 1965. In addition, the author outlines the impact of the amendment of the divorce statute on the conduct of a divorce case in light of the current legislation.
