    Maybe this should be in the History section but hopefully anyway - I believe that up into the late 60's or early 70's divorce was quite difficult and very protracted and with the legal costs generally for the rich. We ofcourse only got it in 1997 :o Anyone have any knowledge ?

    I believe that in the UK before it became generally available it needed a special Act of Parliament which was a one-off for each couple and obviously was only available to the rich and influential.
