If you just find that you are not compatible, the prior way to get a divorce was to cry Infidelity.

Catholic purists may reject “no-fault” divorce, but it is better to quietly and civilly dissolve the marriage and go separate ways. Better for the couple, better for the kids.

Divorce is “better for the kids?”

What have you been smoking?

Is divorce always better for the kids?

I am not a child of divorce, but I'm sure there are some people here who can share their experiences.

If your concern is the good of the children, establishing fault should be an important aspect of determining custody. Currently, the default legal position is to grant custody to the mother. But what if the mother is of bad character? Shouldn't the father be granted custody?

“Better for the couple, better for the kids.”

No, that’s wrong... It’s not better for either. It completely nullifies the Sacrament of marriage. The Church should have, with the institution of no-fault divorce, decoupled it’s self from the state regarding marriage urging the married couple NOT to register their union with the state at all. Keep it a religious union.

And if we got rid of no-fault divorce, we'd just return to a situation where spouses would accuse each other of various cruelties (even crimes) to get out of unhappy marriages.

No-fault divorce is bad but I believe the consequences of getting rid of it would be worse. Like many social ills, changes need to be made to hearts and minds rather than codified into law.
