As someone who's been on the receiving end of an unwanted no-fault divorce, I strongly agree. No-fault quickie divorces are a scourge on the institution of marriage.

There are reasons for divorce. But, laws that allow it to happen in 60 days with no reason are a problem.

I guess you don't think meeting an 18 year old cheerleader is a good reason?

Several states have passed laws creating what are called 'covenant marriages,' which are entirely voluntary alternatives to a 'normal' marriage. One of the distinctives of the covenant marriage is a legal binding against 'no-fault divorces.'

I agree -any other 'contract' is treated much differently within our legal 'system'. Can you imagine if no-fault methodology was applied to every breach of contract? I would suggest that such contracts would become meaningless...

IMHO -'fault' was required proven prior to the 'liberal' no-fault laws were ushered in across the country. Proving fault was a necessary hurdle to 'allow' a 'no-fault' breaking of the marriage contract by the petitioner...

The no-fault laws were intended to discourage divisive litigation (fostering potential reconciliation), reduce court case loads, and prevent exorbitant legal costs impacting families.

The no-fault laws written then interpreted by the same elite liberal and morally corrupt legal minds that would usher in gay 'marriage' do nothing they were intended to do...

I couldn't agree with you more. In today's society it's fine to divorce your spouse if they left the toilet seat up.

As for the homosexuals, they are trying to justify further destroying marriage because it's got problems. We need to work on fixing marriage, not destroy it with man-man-man-woman, man-goat, woman-horse, woman-woman marriages.
