Conservatives push for end of "no fault" divorce

[Harpy Eagle]

Let's do away with the term "forced to stay in a marriage", because that's deliberately inflammatory and creates a false impression. No one is saying that. What we ARE saying is it should not be trivial to divorce, especially if kids are involved. If a parent is literally so selfish that they would destroy an okay family for no good reason, that parent should pay a price for doing it, normally with dollar signs and access to the children attached. For example, if you want out and there's no abuse or intolerable situations, you leave, your spouse gets the kids, and you pay child support and alimony. You should not simply be able to force your spouse to leave AND force them to pay you for the privilege.

I see what you are saying and on principle do not disagree

 

[SeaMajor7]

Yeah. We need to listen to an incel who couldn’t find a woman in a whore House

You have no idea. .

 

[citygator]

About fucking time!!!!!!
Modern women have been abusing the "system" and WRECKING families for far too long!!!

Sounds like a personal problem. You know what people say about my wife? My wife is loyal. She is the most loyal wife. I could stand in 5th avenue and shoot someone and my wife wouldnt leave me. Its incredible!

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I agree. If you are in an abusive relationship, that is a “fault”…the idea that one can say “meh..I’m just tired of being married” probably deserves a little more scrutiny.

How “freedomy” of you.

 

[Anathema]

To me “no fault” divorce is just like “no fault” traffic accidents… Complete and Utter BS

If it happened one party or the other was more at fault than the other and should face the consequences.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

While God hates divorce, He tolerates it. Personally, knowing God hates something is good reason for me to avoid it.

No one cares what you believe god does.
We’re talking about civil marriage.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Not if the other person just “feels” like they don’t want to be married anymore. If it’s the woman, the man may be totally committed and if the woman (or the man if the situation is reversed), ends it for that reason, the other person shouldn’t be saddled for that mistake. They shouldn’t lose half of their possessions, pay the other person alimony etc..

They still have kids to support.

 

[JoeB131]

Staying in a loveless marriage for the sake of the kids is the worst thing you can do for the kids

Hey, sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

Sometimes you don't always love your spouse, and sometimes you don't like your job.

But you still do what you have to do.

I am too. That's just my personal opinion and I don't expect you to hold the same.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It is none of the states business to decide whether you have a good marriage or not.

Indeed.
It’s only the govt’s job to adjudicate the complaints laid out in the divorce filing and to distribute marital assets.

Im sure you would like to "do away" with it.

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.

They are right to try and overturn it

No fault divorse is nothing more than a misndric attack on men by radical feminists

It has nothing whatsoever to do with domestic violence. No fault allows anyone to openly cheat on their spouse and then destroy their spouse in court without any consideration of infidelity. This is most often done by women.

Does the Govt force people to stay in jobs they do not like?

 

[hadit]

Im sure you would like to "do away" with it.

Whenever someone says, "I'm sure" about someone else, you can bank on them just making it up on the spot. I keep telling you that those foil helmets don't give you mindreading powers, but here we are...

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Maybe all marriages should now have prenuptial contracts stimulating different divorce scenarios. Might be the best solution.

That’s an individual’s choice and ought not be required by any govt.

 

[JoeB131]

Does the Govt force people to stay in jobs they do not like?

If they signed contracts, um, yeah.

 

[Mac-7]

An additional reason for people today to not bother getting married at all. Most certainly the next relationship will be an unmarried one since those involved can't afford the lawyers to get them out of their first marriage.

They will still need lawyers when they break up no less difficult to dissolve then marriage

But not committing to one seems to be the trend

 

[struth]

If they signed contracts, um, yeah.

haha no they don't.....well no Govt that free people support.

 

[citygator]

Pushing for a jointly wanted divorce is a joke. Marriage is a contract of commitment. It just takes one to no longer want that commitment. Men leave their wives all the time for people they like more or a life they like more. It isnt a gender thing to want out of a relationship.
