Resolution Criteria:
The market will resolve as "Yes" if:
Any U.S. state passes legislation that eliminates no-fault divorce as an option for married couples seeking divorce, OR
Any U.S. state passes legislation that significantly restricts access to no-fault divorce (e.g., requiring a lengthy separation period, mandatory counseling, or spousal consent)
The market will resolve as "No" if:
No U.S. state passes such legislation by December 31, 2025
"Significantly restrict" is defined as:
Introducing new requirements that make obtaining a no-fault divorce substantially more difficult or time-consuming compared to the state's previous laws
Examples include mandatory waiting periods of 1 year or more, required marriage counseling, or spousal consent requirements
Resolution will be based on:
Official state government websites announcing new laws
Reputable national news sources reporting on such legislation
Legal databases documenting changes in state divorce laws
The market will resolve as "Invalid" if:
There is ambiguity about whether passed legislation meets the criteria for "significant restriction"
Legislation is passed but challenged in court and not implemented by the resolution date
