“Get rid of no fault divorce laws and that problem would solve itself.”
Has anyone asked why 49 states should copy the idiocy of Califorina in this area. I’m sure most here remember the TV show Divorce Court - at least there you had to make a case if you wanted a divorce (and enrichment, or finding a real hunk, wasn’t considered grounds for divorce).
Just watching Judge Judy should teach people about how one messes up one’s life - and the lives of others including innocent children - by the obsession with sex. Immoral sex. Never mind shacking up. I miss Dr. Laura.
can’t remember if they ever denied anyone a divorce?
Well, actually, you could still get a divorce without cause in those days, you just probably wouldn’t get anything out of it. You’d essentially be surrendering your claim to the marital assets because you would be the one defaulting on the agreement. Whatever you came into the marriage with would still be yours, but that’s it.
