- Title
PROTECTING THE ABSENT SPOUSE IN INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE: THE DETROIT EXPERIMENT.
- Authors
WAINHOUSE, DAVID W.
- Abstract
The article discusses the case of absent spouses in divorce. When the divorce contest is one-sided, due to the absence of defendant, it has been found obvious the court has granted a divorce decree without any kind of objection. Desertion is reportedly one of the most common statutory grounds for divorce in the U.S. Men of foreign nationality residing in the U.S. resort to this ground most frequently as it has been found to be the easiest ground to prove on account of the U.S. immigration laws. In divorce proceedings where the spouses live in different countries, default on the part of the absent spouse, is a common occurrence.
