Husband Wants To Work It Out — Wife Gets Divorce Anyway!

A self-represented couple appears for an uncontested divorce after a five-year marriage. The husband says he does not want the divorce and believes they could work things out, but the judge explains that Kansas is a no-fault divorce state and the court cannot force someone to stay married. After reviewing the property agreement, postnuptial agreement, and lack of children from the marriage, the judge grants the divorce.
