Is Trump gonna change no fault divorce?

[Anonymous]

I’m curious to see.

It is apparent that you are uninformed on this subject.

The law of marriage and divorce is established by state law. Federal law only applies if a state's law runs afoul of the Constitution. Federal courts do not hear divorce, paternity, custody cases or any other matters which pertain the the family, spouse-spouse, or parent-child matters.

Aside from these legal considerations, I have not heard Trump mention anything about no-fault divorce and I have heard no one else raise the spectre of this possibility. What motivates you to ask this question?

[phraseology]

Regulation of marriage is a matter of state law, not federal law. Being that marriage isn't included in the U. S. Constitution and it's regulation has been reserved by the states, under the 10th Amendment states control marriage law. The Supreme Court can on occasion invalidate certain state laws if they violate the equal protection clause like making marriage between different races illegal.

No. It would have stopped him from cheating on his first wife and divorcing her for the second one and divorcing his second wife after he cheated on her with his third wife. Now he wouldn't be able to divorce the third wife he cheated on while she was pregnant.

That is not something a president has any control over.

I want to see the Marriage Act repealed in my country. I think it is better to take marriage of the table entirely and jump to a situation where there is no marriage.

This would include retrospectively wiping away existing and past marriages.

Neatly solves the divorce problem if marriages never existed.

There is nothing in the Constitution supporting either the Executive or legislative branch to do this it is a state issue.

No, because he doesn't have that sort of power.

it's up to your governors to change it

Yes, he already got rid of Roe V. Wade. Men deserve to control women and Project 2025 will do that.

He can say he will walk to the moon. But saying and doing are a little more complicated than that.

I certainly hope so. Right now as it is men get slaugtered.
