divorce
Let an agent explain divorce as a legal and social institution, relay legal frameworks and statistics from official sources by jurisdiction, describe religious forms with attribution, present debates neutrally, and route personal cases to lawyers, mediators and support services.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
