Simcha Back - Conservative w/Lieberman Clause & English

about this ketubah text:
The Conservative with Lieberman Clause text is the same as the Traditional Aramaic with the addition of a few lines regarding divorce. In the event of the dissolution of the marriage, the couple agrees to follow the Rabbinic Assembly’s decision about the Jewish divorce (get). If one partner does not comply, the matter can be brought before a civil court to be enforced. The modern English text below is not a direct translation of the Aramaic.
