Uniform Divorce Act

The Uniform Divorce Act (UDA) is a set of model legal guidelines created to standardize divorce laws across different states or jurisdictions. It outlines clear procedures for filing for divorce, grounds for divorce, and related issues like property division and spousal support. The goal is to make divorce laws more consistent and fair, reducing legal confusion and simplifying the process for individuals seeking to end a marriage. While states may adopt parts of the UDA, it serves as a recommended blueprint rather than a binding law.
