Uniform Divorce Recognition Act

The Uniform Divorce Recognition Act (UDRA) is a proposed law designed to make divorce judgments valid across different states. Its goal is to reduce conflicts when couples divorce in one state and then move or have legal matters settled in another. By establishing consistent rules, the UDRA ensures that a divorce legally granted in one state is recognized elsewhere, preventing the need for a new court process and promoting legal certainty and fairness for divorced couples across the United States.
