(1)  STATES THAT THE SPOUSES VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO
SEPARATE; AND

(2)   IS EXECUTED UNDER OATH BEFORE THE APPLICATION FOR
DIVORCE IS FILED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former CJ § 10-901(c).

In the introductory language of this section, the
phrase "voluntary separation" is substituted for the
former language "that they have not cohabited for the
requisite period of time, and that their separation is
beyond any reasonable expectation of reconciliation",
for brevity and to conform to the language used
throughout this article.

Also in the introductory language of this section,   the

language "that the separation was voluntary"     is

substituted for the former language "regarding     the

mutual and voluntary nature of the separation",   for
clarity.

In item (2) of this section, the phrase "application
for divorce" is substituted for the former phrase
"bill of complaint" to conform to the language used in
Title 7 of this article.
