In an attempt to modernize the most archaic divorce law in the U.S. (adultery only), the New York legislature last year rewrote the statute to include such flexible grounds as cruel and inhuman treatment and separation for two years. But having made divorce easier at home, it added a murky section that seemed to imply that quickie out-of-state divorces will no longer be recognized. The section will not take effect until Sept. 1, and the approaching deadline was what had everyone going south...
