Marriage and divorce is too much of a money maker, I don’t see that getting messed with. Unless they need to fill up floor space in America gulag archipelago.
What they used to do in England is arrange for the husband to get “caught” at a motel with a hooker and a photographer conveniently on hand. Then the divorce would be granted on grounds of adultery.
Good! One of the few mistakes Reagan made with devastating results to the family. I say this as a divorced female who experienced DV.
People need to choose spouses better right from the start. Should be the way my grandmother warned: “marry in haste, repent at leisure.”
eliminate the %50 of everything law <- start here if you want to reform anything
Getting rid of “no fault divorce” laws wouldn’t eliminate “divorce”
My heady memories of the Ron are apparently wishful thinking.
He gave us anchor babies and big pharma liability pass.
These two policies alone are just unamerican. But they are his.
The damage done to real people since they were enacted is terribly sad.
Oh the horror, making people live up to the most sacred promise that they can make. In reality, what “no-fault divorce” has done is outlaw marriage. No longer can a couple mutually agree to join themselves in a lifelong union. Today marriage vows are less enforceable than a car loan. Does anyone really think that this is good? If you do not want to enter into a lifelong commitment, fine; then do not get married. And do not trick your spouse into thinking that you are agreeing to a lifelong commitment.
It's merely a way for divorcing couples to avoid a long, drawn-out, expensive process of divorce.
Just as this lawyer says:
"Proving fault requires a trial, something many divorcing couples today avoid, said Kristen Marinaccio, a New Jersey-based family law attorney. A divorce trial is time-consuming and costly, putting the partner with less money at an immediate disadvantage."
She ought to know. Blue state NJ did not allow "no fault" divorce until 2007.
From a legal and cultural standpoint, putting “marriage” under the umbrella of contract law would do far more to protect it than meddling with a fundamentally flawed institution.
Divorce is truly a pain in the butt. To avoid that pain, go find some woman you hate and buy her a house.
And what is wrong with trying to repair the culture of marriage, so men and women can live with each other and get along?
Divorce has destroyed our family. While my wife and I are still married after 33 years, many others have divorced. The consequences to any form of ‘strong family’ are severe. Groups not talking to each other, never seeing each other. CHILDREN that don’t see their parents or extended family. GRANDPARENTS that rarely see any of their grandkids.
Mostly initiated by women - without abuse, addiction, or money troubles. The reasons are purely selfish...after the ‘romantic lie’ of ‘until death’. Clearly your vows mean absolutely nothing.
This is not about marriage. It’s about divorce. The good old days of allowing only mutually-agreed divorces fostered situations like my parents’ where men imprisoned their wives in institutions until they agreed to divorce. There is nothing Christian about returning to that system.
The only winners in divorce are the attorneys....
No…but the Left is coming for Christians.
Life is complicated. Sometimes divorce is the better choice.
I have to give the Left credit for ‘no-fault’ divorce as it GREATLY weakened families and allowed government to get SOLID CONTROL of kids, as we see with the Gaza protests, for example.
Works both ways
Remember when was just let homosexuals enjoy their private lives 40 years ago?
Look where that led
Homosexual marriage the watershed
Mutilation
Indoctrinating kids
Pride wank off parades
DEI privilege
Every movie with plot unrelated queer positive
And yes divorce while attainable should require effort
Women instigate most divorce now because it still cost them less and they usual boss dawg custody
The ones who are believers in the religion of leftism are coming for marriage.
