Michael and ML, thank you both for your answers. It's going to be a tad more complicated than I'd bargained for, although like you say ML, I might be able to get off technicalities thanks to different laws applying in New Troy. I'd rather have something that was really believable for any state, though.
Sheila, thank you for asking that question. That could work equally well for my (unnamed
) character.
If it does work, though, how long would it take between the murder attempt and the divorce to happen? Would it be a matter of days? Weeks? Months? Please don't tell me years.
