Review Us

No-fault divorce has faced criticism from those who believe it has made divorce too easy and has contributed to a decline in the sanctity of marriage. Proponents of repealing no-fault divorce argue that it undermines the commitment and permanence of marriage, making it easier for couples to walk away from their vows without sufficient consideration. However, advocates for no-fault divorce maintain that it has been a positive development in family law, allowing couples to end unhappy or irretrievably broken marriages without the added burden of proving fault.

The introduction of the no-fault divorce option in the 1970s aimed to simplify the divorce process and reduce the emotional and financial costs associated with traditional fault-based divorces. By removing the need to prove wrongdoing, no-fault divorce made the process less adversarial and more amicable, allowing couples to focus on the practicalities of ending their marriage and moving forward with their lives.

Prior to the adoption of no-fault divorce, couples seeking to end their marriage had to establish grounds for divorce, such as adultery, cruelty or abandonment. This often led to lengthy, acrimonious court battles, with spouses bitterly pitted against each other in a quest to prove who was at fault for the breakdown or the marriage. Fault-based divorces often exacerbate existing tensions and, when children are involved, can make it more difficult for couples to co-parent effectively after the divorce.

No-fault divorce is considered to be less damaging to children and other loved ones. The adversarial nature of fault-based divorces often puts children in the middle of conflict, exposing them to emotional distress and potentially damaging their relationships with both parents. No-fault divorce can create a more amicable environment for children during a very difficult time.

The debate surrounding no-fault divorce is complex and multifaceted. While proponents of repealing no-fault divorce raise concerns about the sanctity of marriage and the ease with which couples can dissolve their unions, the benefits of a less adversarial and more child-centric approach to divorce proceedings allows for a less expensive, stressful end to a chapter of your life.

For a deeper dive into the intricacies of no-fault divorce and the implications of repealing such laws, listen to Rosemarie Ferrante's podcast on the topic with Attorney Susan Guthrie or read Rosemarie’s article, authored with Amy Polacko, here for valuable insights into the complexities and merits of no-fault divorce and its impact on families.
