A quick definition of absolute divorce:

Absolute divorce is when a court legally ends a marriage. It means the couple is no longer married and can go their separate ways. This is different from a legal separation, where the couple is still married but living apart. In some cases, one spouse may contest the divorce, which means they don't agree with the terms of the divorce. There are also different types of divorce, such as fault divorce (where one spouse did something wrong) and no-fault divorce (where the couple just can't get along anymore).

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Absolute divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court, which completely severs the tie between the parties. It releases them from all matrimonial obligations and dissolves the marriage tie.

Examples: If a couple decides to end their marriage and goes to court to get a divorce, they are seeking an absolute divorce. This type of divorce is different from a legal separation or a partial divorce, which only separates the couple but does not dissolve the marriage.

Explanation: Absolute divorce is the most common type of divorce sought by couples who want to end their marriage. It is a complete and final dissolution of the marriage, which means that the parties are no longer legally married and are free to remarry. The examples illustrate how a couple seeking to end their marriage would go to court to get an absolute divorce, which would legally dissolve their marriage and release them from all matrimonial obligations.

You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

TiredOfThisGrandpa

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

NemoPropheta

16:58

late march is way too late

NemoPropheta

early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
