Repealing no-fault divorce has so far stalled across the US. Some worry that’ll change

(My Journal Courier) Dec 8, 2024

Summary: For the last 50 years, no-fault divorce laws have been instrumental in simplifying the dissolution of marriages by eliminating the need to prove fault, such as adultery or cruelty. However, there have been discussions and legislative efforts in some states to modify or repeal these laws, aiming to make divorce more challenging in hopes of preserving marriages. Despite these efforts, significant changes to no-fault divorce laws have not been widely implemented, and experts suggest that substantial alterations are unlikely in the near future.

Jeff’s Take: I didn’t know this was a “thing” or that anyone was talking about it. I personally wish weddings and divorce were harder to get. I don’t see this going anywhere in any state. There seem to be much bigger issues to deal with.
