The progressive era and the advent of socialism brought on by the Depression got that started. Marriage became disposable…it is reversible, it can be undone.

The same mindset that says “I’m against divorce except for cases of ____” is the same demonic mindset that says “I’m against abortion except in cases of _____.”

Divorce is THE most destructive element to the family and society….more than the Ukraine, more than Iran, more than Soros. It is clear, yet few rail against divorce anymore.

Just watch...the ratio of people posting that they HAD to get a divorce out of line with what Jesus commanded will outnumber the anti-divorce lot.

thank you for posting this ...

my mother warned me about No-Fault Divorce about 50 years ago ...

How would you advise the woman whose very first thought when waking up every morning is, “Is this the day he’s going to kill me?”

There are cases where divorce is justified, such as serial adultery or abuse. I know women who ended up in the hospital from the beatings their husbands gave them. No one should be trapped in a marriage like that.

Of course, if the justice system dealt appropriately with spouses who inflicted that kind of harm on their spouse, then the women wouldn’t be in that kind of danger.

CHRISTIANS should do away with divorce. Everyone else can do as they please. Marriage wasn’t designed for lost people.

My first X has been happily married to an architect for over 30 years. She got caught having fun with my best friend in my bed. That alone ended our marriage.

My second X wife and I were gifted/blessed with a beautiful daughter who now has brought me two beautiful grand kids. That X and I are “friends” which means we are polite and respectful to each other when our paths cross. She has had two more marriages. Both failed.

Sometimes Divorce is the ONLY way out of the misery and ultimately is proven to have been the RIGHT thing to do.

Yup - everybody knows how to fix everyone elses problems.

Isn’t so-called “Irreconcilable Differences”, unilaterally claimed, 100% procedurally and substantively irrefutable by the spouse of the claimer, and therefore irreversibly charting a course toward a complete legal (i.e., only secular) dissolution of the union in question, actually the true scourge of society?

So-called “No Fault” divorce (that is, agreed to by both spouses) admittedly also being a societal ill.

[discostu]

Absolutely not. Don’t force people who hate each other to live together just because neither of them has committed a “fault”.

A good portion of the serial offenders, people who really shouldn’t be getting married in the first place, and get divorced over and over and over. Like Liz Taylor.

[Tired of Taxes]

Many people misunderstand no-fault divorce.

You can be married to a serial cheater, for example, and get a no-fault divorce.

No-fault is only a way to divorce without dragging all the dirty details through court, which can get very expensive.

The outcome is usually the same as a fault divorce, anyway.

[Petrosius]

What no-fault divorce actually does is outlaw marriage, i.e., a voluntary commitment for life. If you do not want to make that commitment, don’t get married.

[Nateman]

The Law’s heavy bias against men in divorce is clearly causing less men to get married.

[T.B. Yoits]

From the article: Like it or not, it’s time to do away with no-fault divorce marriage.

These are not marriages and never were. These are/were contracts with the government as an unwelcome third party.

In the United States in particular, the government outlawed polygamy - because it's already the polygamist in each marriage.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I once read a memoir from a New York 1950s beatnik girl. She’d make extra money working for divorce attorneys and couples who wanted amicable divorces but needed a legal reason. She’d go to a hotel, meet the couple, their lawyers, and a private detective. Then she and the husband would go up to a room, undress, and get into bed together. A few minutes later the detective would come in the unlocked door, snap a photo as evidence of adultery, then they’d get dressed and all go out to breakfast together.

[Hot Tabasco]

Is it time we swallow our pride and our own emotional comfort as adults and do away with no-fault divorce?

Sounds like something divorce attorneys would support.

No, the biggest hit to the American family was decriminalizing fornication and adultery. Couple that with mandatory DNA testing at birth, and more folks might be faithful.

[Secret Agent Man]

The entire family court system needs a massive overhaul away from what it is. The court system won’t do it as they make 60 billion a year off divorce.
