Thanks for the tips, everybody!
You gave me lots of reading material and lots of food for thought.
Now, I started reading the websites you pointed me to, and something occurs. If my character wants to get a fault-divorce, say, her soon-to-be-ex-husband tried to throw her over the balcony of their penthouse (sorry for stealing your example, Sheila
), and he's caught red-handed (say, Superman sees him - is Superman's word enough to prove it actually?), is that ground enough for a fault divorce? And if so, how long would it take to proceed, assuming the soon-to-be-ex-husband fights to stay married to my unnamed character?
