A quick definition of Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes:

The Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes was a court that dealt with family issues like divorce and legitimacy. It was created in 1857 and had the power to hear cases related to marriage and family. The court was made up of important judges and lawyers, but most cases were heard by the Judge Ordinary. In 1873, the court was abolished and its powers were given to the Family Division of the High Court of Justice.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes was a court that had the power to deal with family issues such as divorce and legitimacy. It was established in 1857 and replaced the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts. The court was made up of the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Justices of the Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, the Chief Baron of Exchequer, the senior puisne judges of the last three courts, and the Judge Ordinary. The Judge Ordinary usually heard the cases. However, the Judicature Act of 1873 abolished the Court and transferred its jurisdiction to the Probate Divorce and Admiralty Division (now Family Division) of the High Court of Justice.

Example: A couple who wants to get a divorce can go to the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes to get a legal separation. The court can also decide on issues such as child custody and property division.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
