A divorce automatically granted by a court when the spouse who is served with a summons and complaint for divorce fails to file a formal response with the court.

The employer must allow the employee to return to the same position or a position similar to that held before taking the leave. There are exceptions to the FMLA: the most notable is that only employers with 50 or more employees are covered--about half the workforce.
