Application in Divorce Marriage is an institution that has evolved over hundreds of generations. The bond of marriage is but one facet of the institution.

It’s the bond of marriage that is terminated when a divorce or dissolution of marriage has been granted by the court. Upon the termination of the bond of marriage, each party is once again recognized as a separate individual.
