Pennsylvania HB2502 allows courts to issue divorce or annulment decrees before resolving all claims if certain conditions are met.

Pennsylvania HB2502 amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to modify the conditions under which a court can issue a divorce or annulment decree before resolving all claims. The court can enter such a decree without both parties' consent if a valid protection from abuse order exists, a party has been charged or convicted of a personal injury crime against the other party, and the moving party demonstrates compelling circumstances and sufficient economic protections for the other party and any minor children. This act takes effect in 60 days.
