The only printed version. Current through: Including Acts of the 2025 Regular Session of the General Assembly.
When a petition for divorce is filed, the respondent may recriminate in his answer and ask a divorce in his favor. If, at the trial, the court or jury believes that the respondent rather than the petitioner is entitled to a divorce, they may so find upon legal proof.
