Bill Prohibits Divorce-Seekers From Having Sex in Their Homes

If you live in Massachusetts and are going through a divorce, be aware that it soon may be illegal for you to have sex in your home before the marriage has been officially dissolved.

If you live in Massachusetts and are going through a divorce, be aware that it soon may be illegal for you to have sex in your home before the marriage has been officially dissolved.


It’s called Senate Bill 787 and requires that those who retain the marital home and the kids get permission from a judge before taking any new relationship to the next level.

The bill explicitly states, “In divorce, separation, or 209A proceedings involving children and a marital home, the party remaining in the home shall not conduct a dating or sexual relationship within the home until a divorce is final and all financial and custody issues are resolved, unless the express permission is granted by the courts.”

Massachusetts currently requires a 120-day waiting period before divorces can be finalized, and that doesn’t include the time it took to get the application approved.

The man who filed the bill, State Senator Richard Ross, says he doesn’t necessarily agree with it, but, as he believes in democracy, submitted it upon the request of a citizen.
