About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "She Says Her Husband Cheated. The Law Won't Let Her Divorce Him for a Year (with Jen Hamilton)" from Criminal covers labor and delivery nurse Jen Hamilton, who announced earlier this year to her millions of social media followers that her marriage was ending. The episode follows her subsequent effort to change the state divorce law that is currently keeping her legally married to her husband, who she says cheated on her.
Rather than treating her situation as a private matter, Hamilton has turned her divorce into a public campaign, using her large social media following to draw attention to a law that prevents her from finalizing her separation for a year. The episode traces how a personal breakup became the basis for a push to change legislation.
