Help Stop a Law that Helps Domestic Abusers

https://chng.it/ffXFHvSwsL

From the petition page:

According to current Virginia law—unless the abuser agrees to a no-fault divorce—victims of domestic abuse are not eligible to be granted a divorce where their spouse has been guilty of “cruelty, caused reasonable apprehension of bodily hurt, or willfully deserted or abandoned” them until one full year from the date of such act. Even if a victim is physically separated from their spouse, during this time period, they can still be subjected to psychological, emotional, and financial abuse.
