How did no fault divorce change American society?

[Anonymous]

Many American children are growing up without a father involved due to the family laws, and parental alienation. Has this been a net positive for the United States, (the country with the most liberal divorce laws globally)? With the way politics are heading it’s likely to be an legal practice of the past, a history we look back on.

Sounds like a history class paper, but overall it's been a good thing. It was far too hard for women to get a divorce when stuck in abusive or loveless marriages. Now it's easier for both parties to end it if things are not working out for one reason or another. If they are happier being a single parent than staying with their current partner, then there must be a reason for that.

It has been a positive thing. I have never heard of a single person who initiated a no fault divorce where the other person wasn't very much at fault, but simply walking away was less exhausting than some legal battle.
