I live in a Right to Work state, so that is the context in which I posed the question.
In the scenarios I outlined, as the employer, I would have to demonstrate just cause in the firing if taken to court, and it would have to be backed up by extensive documentation. I know this because I’ve had my legal department advise me to keep employees longer than necessary (based on ability/performance) strictly so we could ensure we were sufficiently documented to protect against lawsuit.
But in a no fault divorce, as a husband I would have no standing to demand a similar demonstration of cause if my wife chose to leave me for no specific reason.
That’s whack.
