New York Grants First Contested No-Fault Divorce

A 79-year-old Long Island woman has been granted what's believed to be the state's first contested no-fault divorce.

Gloria Sorrentino wanted out of her 56-year union to Sebastian Sorrentino on the grounds their marriage was "irretrievably broken."

But her husband wanted to stay hitched, and contended that two of their four kids were pressuring her into dumping him.
