Statute 60-1606: Granting of degree mandatory; exceptions; denial of relief;

unless the granting of the decree is discretionary under this act or unless
the court finds that there are no grounds for the requested alteration of
marital status. If a decree of divorce, separate maintenance or annulment
is denied for lack of grounds, the court shall nevertheless, if application
is made by one of the parties, make the orders authorized by subsections
