KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- In a time when many Americans accept that a 50 percent divorce rate is inevitable, some communities have found ways to nearly "divorce-proof" the marriages in their area.

One example is the Kansas City metro area. While the divorce rate in Kansas City, Mo. was going up between 1995 and 2005, just across the border in smaller Kansas City, Kan., the divorce rate was plunging.

Clergy on the Kansas side believe they know what made the difference. Pastor Jeff Meyers of Christ Lutheran Church in a Kansas City suburb was distressed with the devastating effects he was seeing as a result of marriages falling apart.

"If it fails, it's the pebble in the pond, the waves reverberate out and go on for generations," he told CBN News.

Research shows children of divorce still feel the pain of the breakup well into their adult life...

AUSTIN — Attorney General Greg Abbott is trying to halt the divorce of two women in Austin on grounds their Massachusetts marriage is not recognized in Texas.

A Travis County state district judge on Feb. 10 granted a divorce in court to Sabina Daly, 41, of San Antonio, and Angelique Naylor, 39, of Austin. Abbott's aides went to court the following day to block the divorce before the written decree was entered.

“A divorce is an ending or a termination of a valid legal marriage,” Abbott said Tuesday. “In this instance there was no valid legal marriage recognized by the state of Texas. Texas can't have a faulty precedent on the books that validates an illegal law.”

But Daly's lawyer, Bob Luther of Austin, said Judge Scott Jenkins rendered a decree of divorce in open court. Abbott's filing was a day late, Luther said. He acknowleged Abbott's motion probably will mean continuing litigation.

“It matters because it leads to a lot of unnecessary expenses on the part of the two parties,” Luther said.

He said the women married in Massachusetts in 2004, and ran a home restoration and renovation business together. Daly was a general contractor and Naylor the real estate agent, Luther said.
