No-fault divorce?

[Twalli]

It's where you don't need a reason to file for divorce. You can file for it without saying why you want one.

FYI, all of the US operates under no-fault divorce laws.

Don't support

Don't care

Why would you want to stay married to someone you for whatever reason no longer want to be with.

[Twalli]

You don't, but divorce without a "fault" was a lot harder to get before no-fault laws were made. Also, let's say you're a victim of abuse, you may not be able to talk about it. No-fault mean you don't need to.

No fault divorce is why I refuse to get married. What's the point of marriage anyway if there's no fault divorce? Marriage with no fault divorce is just glorified relationships.

Sounds to me like returning a participation trophy to the prize giving committee :D

[DextroShade]

No-fault divorce has been a complete disaster in that it incentivized women to wreck their own homes which has resulted in the destruction of the family unit. Someone is ALWAYS at fault in a divorce.

[Twalli]

Actually evidence shows that there's no increase in divorce rates in places with no-fault divorce laws.

[DextroShade]

You just said the entire country has no-fault divorce!

[Twalli]

Yes, and we can see rates before and after. A brief spike once the law was in place and then back down to pre law levels, or lower.

[OtterMan68]

yes, I don't like the gov involved in marriage or divorce

[rosemilk]
