Chile Legalizes Divorce

Chile began the process of legalizing divorce. On Friday, President Ricardo Lagos signed the law that would begin allowing divorce in the South American country six months from now. The law makes divorce easier, but not easy. Couples seeking to terminate their marriage have to go through sixty days of counseling, and separate for a year before the state grants their wish. If only one spouse seeks divorce, the couple has to wait three years.
