Mississippi is one of only two states that does not have a unilateral no fault divorce ground. Back in June, a chancellor held that the lack of a unilateral no fault divorce was unconstitutional. A link to the opinion is here. The opinion is very detailed and constitutionally sound. The case is currently up on appeal at the moment and a domestic violence group has filed an amicus brief located here.
I would not be surprised if this case did not make it to the U.S. Supreme Court. From a legal analysis standpoint, the opinion by the trial court makes sense.
