Conservative leaders in states like Louisiana, Texas and Nebraska want to get rid of no-fault divorce, in some cases introducing bills that would take us back to the world of fault-based battles. This would be absolutely catastrophic—especially for women.
No-fault divorce – meaning that the filing spouse is not required to show wrongdoing by the other spouse as the reason for dissolution – first began in 1969, when then-Gov. Ronald Reagan of California signed the first law of its kind in the US. Today, every state and the District of Columbia offers no-fault divorce.We also work daily as a divorce coach and a divorce attorney-mediator.
We get it. It’s human nature to want justice when you feel you’ve been betrayed. But we see what goes on in the family court world and understand why no-fault divorce is actuallyIn 19th-century America, fault-based divorce laws required you to prove specific grounds to get divorced. This led to all kinds of benchmarks that varied from state to state including: neglect, abandonment, adultery, intemperance, extreme cruelty and lengthy imprisonment.
. This abuse already takes many forms in a divorce—including creating fictitious claims and weaponizing the legal system against women. I have no doubt that with no guardrails at all, abusers will have a better chance of making their victims ‘at fault’ in these epic clashes. : The whole conversation of going back to that time when we didn’t have no-fault divorce, when we have made such advancements in normalizing healthy divorce, is mind-blowing.
