Resolution Criteria:

1. 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)

2. The market will resolve as "No" if:

   • No U.S. state passes such legislation by December 31, 2025

3. "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

4. 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

5. 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
