OK let’s look at this from a NFD = small government perspective.
NFD and out of control divorces have lead to more district courts hearing more divorce cases - Bigger government.
NFD and out of control divorces have lead to more welfare cases for moms with single children - Bigger government.
NFD and out of control divorces have lead to more kids growing up without fathers which leads to more crimes needing more prisons - Bigger government.
NFD and out of control divorces have lead to a huge increase in the Attorney Generals office collecing child support - Bigger government.
So.... go ahead with you small government argument. Tell me how you think NFD = small government.
I’m listening.
When you answer the other posts to you regarding this, I’ll respond to yours.
I agree with you. People are making the mistake of thinking abolishing no-fault divorce means you are forcing people to stay together in bad situations. No such thing. If things are really that bad, you always have the option of separation. No one is arguing we should take that right away.
And FWIW, my wife and I got married knowing that there was absolutely zero possibility of divorce for us (we’re both devout Catholics). That attitude really shifted our focus when we got engaged as to what we were doing, and it has really solidified our marriage in terms of us knowing that we have to make this work no matter what. It is tremendously liberating. I can’t imagine having gone into this with the idea that it might end.
