Definition of parliamentary divorce

Parliamentary divorce is a type of divorce that is granted by the legislature instead of a court. This used to be common in Colonial America, but now only state courts have the authority to grant divorces. It is also known as legislative divorce.

Example: In 1816, the House of Burgesses of Virginia granted a divorce to Rachel Robards Jackson, the wife of then President Andrew Jackson, from a former spouse. This scandalous divorce was granted by the legislature instead of a court.

This example illustrates how parliamentary divorce is a type of divorce that is granted by the legislature instead of a court.

Simple Definition

Parliamentary divorce is when a marriage is legally ended by the government instead of a court. It used to happen a long time ago, but now only courts can grant divorces. There are different types of divorces, like fault divorce where one spouse did something wrong, or no-fault divorce where the marriage just isn't working out. An uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree to the divorce, while a contested divorce is when they disagree on things like property or child custody.
