What are successful results of marriage counseling?
Marriage counseling helps couples learn to deal more effectively with problems, and can help prevent small problems from becoming serious.
What legal options are available to a spouse to prevent a divorce from being granted?
United StatesI am an attorney who practices in family court. Most states are "no fault" divorce states in which you can merely assert that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" as a basis for a dissolution of marriage. Now, if the other partner answers the petition in writing to the court denying that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" the court may require the parties to undergo some marriage counseling to determine if the marriage can be reconciled before granting the divorce. However, judges will not force parties to stay married if the petitioning spouse still wants to dissolve the marriage.UKIf you apply for divorce and your spouse refutes it, most Judges accept your application irregardless of your spouse's response on the logic that if one person wants a divorce then the marriage is over.
Can an inmate who received a life sentence contest a divorce in Florida?
The State of Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning the court will not assign fault to either party for the divorce. Neither spouse can prevent the other from obtaining a divorce. Marriage is not a prison and an inmate who is incarcerated for life cannot impose a life sentence on their spouse. She/he has the right to move on with their life. The inmate does not have to consent to the divorce.

Should gay couples be able to have civil unions?
No one should have to have a second-class marriage. All couples, straight or gay, should be able to marry in the same fashion. However, there may be reasons why a couple would choose a civil union over a marriage license. For example, often older couples experience tax or social security situations that prevent them from marrying. A civil union would be preferable in this case.
If a non-Catholic man married a Catholic woman in a Catholic church and the marriage ends in divorce how does the Catholic Church view this marriage and can the man later become a Catholic?
He can certainly become Catholic. Divorce does not prevent one from participating in the Church in any way. The Church sees him as continuing to be involved in a nonsacramental, but valid, marriage. What he cannot do is to *remarry* since that would be adultery in the eyes of the Church.

Even if you did get a divorce you can still be catholic. You have to take the RCIA classes.
Does the state republican party platform for Massachusetts include marriage equality?
No. Even though same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, the official Republican Party platform for that state calls for a ballot initiative in which the electorate of that state could vote to remove the marriage rights of same-sex couples, invalidate existing marriages and prevent same-sex couples from marrying in the future, or from having their out-of-state marriages legally recognized.
Can a judge deny a divorce and issue marriage counseling?
Yes, a judge can deny a divorce if one party contests it and the legal grounds for divorce are not met. In some cases, a judge may suggest or order marriage counseling in an attempt to facilitate reconciliation, especially if there are children involved or if the couple expresses a willingness to work on their relationship. However, the ability to mandate counseling or deny a divorce varies by jurisdiction and specific circumstances of the case. Ultimately, if one spouse insists on the divorce and meets legal requirements, the judge typically cannot prevent it.

Can you marry a former sibling?
It depends what you mean by "former sibling". If you are asking if you can marry a former step sibling or adoptive sibling than yes. As long as your not blood related then it should be exceptable. *** It will depend on where in the world you live. Many areas have marriage laws that prevent marriage between blood relations, but they also prevent marriage between adpoted or step siblings even after a divorce.
