Conservatives push for end of "no fault" divorce

[EvilCat Breath]

And it about half of all marriages neither is the vow.

I have known, in 35 years of divorce practice, every kind of divorce there is, including the divorces of couples that truly loved one another. I handled a divorce for one couple 3 times. Putting fault back into divorce would be a really bad idea. If you want to stay married no matter what, that's your decision. It's not one you can even impose on your spouse.

Within my own circle, a cousin of mine is in the 16th year of being "bent, folded, and mutilated" by the family court in Washington County, PA, which facilitated his divorce, took away his kid and a third of his income, took away his driver's license for three years, and flouted every imaginable principle of jurisdiction, with no means of satisfaction. They lived in Florida and she sued in Washington County, PA because her uncle was influential in that court system, and the Washington judge simply refused to give up jurisdiction.

"No fault," of course.

How in the world do they expect him to pay child support, alimony, lawyer fees, court costs & living expenses when they took away his drivers license???

Problem with this line of thought is marriage is NOT a contract, but a covenant to be solemnly entered into before G-d. And marriage, contrary to popular belief, is meant to be a lifetime commitment.

Marriage has always been a contract first and foremost. If you are religious it can also be a sacrament. See law 101.

To avoid divorce and the chance of being stuck in an unhappy marriage more and more are avoiding it. The trend will continue.

Thank you. Can you explain why marriage is a contract between consenting adults?

This is so stupid. You dumb ass conservatives have no fucking sense. You imagine making divorce harder is going to be some punishment against uppity women but this isn't the 40s. These women have jobs and bank accounts and aren't being married off by their father's like they're property. What you're going to do is basically murder whats left of marriage. No one woman is going to get married, or barely any women, under those set of circumstances. Conditions have changed you morons.

Every contract can be broken and no employer is going to force someone to keep working for them if they do not want to be there, it would be a recipe for disaster.

Then any contract is worthless.

There are penalties. If the parties can't agree on the terms of dissolution, the state will get involved. You don't seem to know much about the law.

In the context of what I was responding to, any contract would be worthless.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No, as a contract has penalties for breaking it.

But can you honestly say you would want to force an employee to work for you that no longer wanted to be there?

Do you think that would be a good business practice?

No critical thinking allowed.

Conservative US lawmakers are pushing for an end to no-fault divorce

Republicans in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas have discussed eliminating or restricting such cases

www.theguardian.com

This seems a gift to domestic abusers. I can only see it as a desire to take society back to a pre civilised age.
Message to failed husbands and wives. Once its over its over. You waste your time trying to turn the tide.

It should be tougher to get a divorce. When it's so easy, people don't have as much incentive to work it out.

Seems to me it would be the opposite.

You are a half wit tho. You never see anything properly. Just some bogus faux religious bullshit.

You can't make a wife stay with you if she despises you.
