ExceptionsApplies only to civil, not criminal matters. One state cannot enforce another state’s criminal law.Full faith and credit need not be given to certain divorces granted by one state to residents of another stateWilliams v. North Carolina1945 case where a man and a woman traveled to Nevada where each wished to obtain a divorce so they could marry each other. They lived in Las Vegas for 6 weeks, the minimum period of state residence required by Nevada’s divorce law. They received their divorces, were married, and then returned to NC. NC authorities refused to recognize the divorces in NV and brought the couple to trial where a jury convicted them of bigamous cohabitation. On appeal, the court upheld the NC ruling because the couple had not established true – good faith – residence in Nevada. To become a legal resident of a state one must live there permanently, or at least indefinitely.
What could this couple have done to establish the validity of the divorces they got in Nevada?Slide5
