My ex wife moved out to live with her unemployed slob of a boyfriend. She assumed that in the divorce she would get enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Our state had no-fault. I DID retain the best lawyer money could buy. After the No-Fault laws were sorted out and applied, I got all the cars. the kids, the house, the credit card bills, and complete freedom from her. She got an old car, a sewing machine, and her clothes. No alimony or support payments of any kind. No Fault is wonderful. I don't think she thought No Fault was so good.
I don't support "no fault" divorce any more than I support stupid people marrying for the most insipid, asinine, Disney-esque reasons. "We have good sex, I love you, let's get married, you cheated on me, I didn't see this coming, you don't want kids, you've changed, blah blah blah no fault divorce." Horse sh*t.

"No fault" divorce only means the court does not recognize, nor feel the need for estranged spouses to air out their dirty laundry in the courtroom.
It also pertains to men as well, though MOST people have a reason, it's just that it is not necessary for the court to hear it.

A reasonable reason for divorce. Someone is married and no longer wants to be. That is entirely reasonable.
It's certainly no business of the state.

Sounds good to me, I make all the money in the relationship.
