condonation

Read a random definition: peremptory norm

A quick definition of condonation:

Condonation is when someone forgives or ignores an action that they are now legally complaining about. This is often used as a defense in divorce cases. For condonation to be valid, the person forgiving must know about the action, reconcile with the offender, and restore all marital rights. The forgiving party must also be treated with kindness. However, if the cause of divorce is a pattern of bad behavior, forgiveness or kindness does not count unless there is an agreement to forgive. If the offender hides other actions that could lead to divorce, the forgiveness is not valid.

A more thorough explanation:

Condonation is a legal defense argument used by someone who has previously forgiven or ignored an act that they are now complaining about. It is often used in cases of divorce.

For example, if a spouse cheats on their partner and the partner forgives them and continues to live with them, they may not be able to use the cheating as grounds for divorce later on.

In order for condonation to be valid, the person forgiving the offense must have knowledge of the facts, reconcile with the offending party, and restore them to all marital rights. The forgiving party must also be treated with kindness.

However, if the cause of divorce is a pattern of offensive behavior or cruelty, forgiveness or endurance does not necessarily constitute condonation unless there is an express agreement to forgive. Additionally, if the offending party conceals other facts that would be grounds for divorce, the condonation may be invalidated.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
