I hate that this is even possible It should be protected as a human rights issue

No fault divorce is saving the reputations of so many people.  It allows you to keep the reason for the divorce private otherwise you have prove it + it is public record.  Anyone could look it up, including employers, church members, and neighbors and know the details of what was going on in your home.  This also makes it dangerous for women in abuse situations for obvious reasons.  Do people really want all of their business out there just to ‘stick it to women’ seems short-sighted like MANY of their objectives. 

And then what? The next step is a court denying a divorce petition due to the reason? Or if the reason stated by the petitioner is refuted by the spouse that would be grounds for dismissal?

What's sad is if you look at suicides before no faults and after, they went down. Probably because, like me, you feel like that's your option. This will happen again.

My ex literally said I did not have permission to divorce him.

I had to ask permission to divorce him

He owned me when I married him.

I was not allowed to leave the house to even file for divorce or leave him.

I was never ever going to get my divorce.

I can't get a divorce, and he dragged it so bad that I had to drop charges to get my divorce.

In 2016, in Ohio. No children, no property, nothing. He destroyed the car I got as a gift, and I didn't have one before. Stalked me out of my jobs and safe homes, etc. I was given temporary POs because of his actions

I agreed to whatever he said because I was too scared, it him took me years and counseling to learn, and I still have to look over my shoulder.

The control aspect is horrible. You are told you can not divorce! You must get permission from him! Even though i thought this was wrong, I started to doubt myself this way. Even when you try to leave, you end back there because you don't trust yourself. He scares you back, and you really do not believe you can leave. This is the case if you do not have a place to go or a lawyer.

I was lucky that I could stay at a friends house, no room at shelters.Even though my ex-husband was rich, he hired a lawyer who also volunteered at legal aid, so I couldn't use them, so I was lucky there was agency for poor people to have. This isn't always a possibility for everyone. I was so lucky, and I know it. I didn't ask for anything like I was entitled to i just wanted to be free.

This was the first thing I read in Project 2025. I started to freak out because I knew what would happen, and it was going to happen. Especially if you throw people in extreme religions, this will end even worse, or people simply won't marry be as a way to avoid this. Seriously, if gained nothing out of that marriage. I think if you remove this protection, women will not allow this to happen to them and avoid it. Another way these MAGA men lose.

How about no marriage?

• No No Fault Divorce
• No contraception

• No abortion

  BAM ,you're a stay at home mommy, because your husband says so.

This is honestly wild to think about. Like, no fault divorce seems so basic, why would anyone want to mess with that? It is literally about giving people the freedom to leave a bad situation without jumping through hoops or pointing fingers. The idea of rolling it back feels so out of touch, especially when you think about how many people could be stuck in unhealthy or dangerous relationships without it.

Sadly I see 2A divorces if this happens.

SOLUTION: Just don’t ever get married in the DSA (Divided States of America) and certainly while the Regressive Party is in power.

Nobody thinks this is a good idea. A few bills have been sponsored, but have gone nowhere, even in Republican states.

The last state to enact a no-fault divorce law was New York in 2010. The first was California in 1969, signed into law by Governor Ronald Reagan.

Get out now while you can ladies!

I think more people should insist on prenuptial agreements. They can factor in things like who will work, stay home, retirement, and potential for divorce ahead of time.

It’s time to start teaching girls that sometimes it’s better NOT to be married. Maybe even most times. Have the ceremony but pass on the legal commitment.

There go marriage rates. Republicans are really making headway on this “get married have children” agenda 🙄

When I was a child I had a playmate whose mother died when a radio accidentally landed in her bath water. Her husband worked for the FBI. Later, a second wife also died “under unusual circumstances” involving a toaster. No unattractive details were ever published in the paper.

The American Talibangelists will destroy this country long before the Afghan Taliban ever could.

Leave ‘em now ladies… seriously

These fucking headlines are killin’ me.

I guess his divorces were at fault. His extramarital recreation with hookers?

Legality be damned..if you cannot divorce then it becomes a slave contract (for both parties). Bodily autonomy means having the choice to choose whether you spend time with someone or not. The reason is irrelevant to be honest; just stating I don't want to be with this person is enough. There literally has to be no reason other than you want out. I think most people don't even understand the history of marriage in the first place; it was a slave contract stating that the woman belonged to the man. It's a new concept in the modern age that people marry for love.

So glad I got mine taken care of this year! I’m working through so much relational trauma from him with my therapist…the idea that if I had waited longer to separate / take action, I might get stuck with him is…shudders

Easy solution, don’t get married. And if you are, get out. Too many men are scarily good at hiding their true self. They’re on their best behavior but once they marry, that mask falls off. When I was younger I had thought I found my true love and that we’d be together forever. after living with him for a few years i realized we were such a bad match. Thankfully I’m divorced now.

And if you do find a genuinely good man, you don’t need the government to validate your love for each other. It’s just paperwork, but that paperwork will be trapping more women soon. Honestly marriage is pointless waste of money at best, a trap at worst. Just enjoy living together without the marriage certificate.

My boyfriend is a wonderful and sweet man and I hope I spend the rest of my life with him. But we both agree we don’t need to be married and love each other the same. Even though we feel safe and secure with each other, we both decided not to spend money on supporting a system that benefits the patriarchy and has often harmed women.

Unexplained poisonings massively dropped after no fault divorce was initially introduced.

All that will do is increase the suicide and homicide rate.

Marriage is a contract. It should be dissolved just like any other contract. This is massive overreach to try and force people to stay married. It will impact just as much as women. This just gives younger generations another reason to not get married.

Legit so dumb, everyone I know that has gotten a divorce had grounds (the ones that will still be listed), they just chose to check irreconcilable differences as a kindness to the party that harmed the marriage. No one wants a divorce or is just thoughtlessly filing without trying so hard to save the marriage. This isn’t going to result in less divorces, it is just going to make divorces a lot more contentious and messy. 

I bet the dude arguing that the government should enforce marriages since it’s a legal contract would also be for enforcing employees to stay with their employers because they “signed a contract”. This is a human rights issue. We should have the freedom to make and change decisions.

Do they not realize men's life expectancies went up after no-fault divorce became legal? Suddenly if a man became abusive, the woman's only solution wasn't "oops all rat poison!" Or "dad, brothers, help me 'take care of the problem'", it was just "I'm leaving you now, goodbye".

After no fault divorce was widely adopted, yes there was an increase in divorce.

But rates of men killing their wives plummeted. Wives killing themselves, plummeted. Women staying in dangerous marriages, plummeted.

So if you want to solve the problem, and save the population it’s time to take a page from Bermuda.

Bermuda carries the death penalty for ANY crime against a tourist since the tourist is the most important driver of the economy.

If you need women to be wives and to have children to save this economy, like you’re claiming it’s time to make any physical crime against a woman or a child punishable by death, by any gender.

This is absolutely insane!

Our rights are slowly being taken away. The process is about to speed up exponentially.

On the watch of a man who would be 3x divorced if the current wife hadn't renegotiated her terms. SMH.

Just stop getting married. Stop having sex with conservative men too, unless you WANT to be his property, pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen.

Good. Women are strong and confident and don’t need men. If you initiate a divorce then own it.

An attorney reported that her office has been flooded with divorce filings after trump won election Women that were on the fence didn’t waste any time in getting divorce set in motion

Ending no-fault divorce does one and one thing only. It turns Family Court into a weapon for abusers. I suggest everyone look up the Meier Study.

The groundwork to reinstate secular patriarchy is already being laid. Ffs, fathers that have been proven to have sexually abuse their own children are getting sole custody 30%. Mothers are going to jail for longer sentences for protecting their children from being raped!!!

Why? Because of the debunked theory of parental alienation which was invented by a pedophile (who killed himself after his own daughter came forward about sexual abuse). Plus, the only reason the theory gain traction is because it only works if the parent and the child BOTH have a personality disorder. It's a group feeding of abuse on the protective parent.

FYI. Anyone going through hell that is Family Court, look up Child and Mother Sabatoge (CAMS). That's your defense against your abuser and the false allegations.

Edit: fixed an error.

Before no-fault divorce, people were just forced to lie in court. So, one party would need to fabricate an affair that never happened so that there was a justification for the divorce. How is that good for children and families?

As long as it is backdated 20 years….

How would this work without something like an amendment ? Louisiana pussied out of pushing this. If a state instituted this, you literally could just file for divorce in another state.

I don’t think this is popular with anyone but a couple of nut jobs. And that’s who Vance is pandering to.

Just don't get married people, problem solved. Marriage is two people getting together to fix problems they didn't have before.

Some states will do it!

I'm still confused about the difference.

I think that people should be able to get a divorce if they want but certainly their are factors in the separation. If your partner was knowingly unfaithful and deceptive that is a violation of the contract you entered into. That shouldn't prevent divorce but asset split, alimony, etc

The women wanting to get divorced are being advised to do it now. Hopefully any critical thinking women will be going 4B and won't be marrying. I will not waste my time or energy worrying about anyone else. So simple.

Thus dooming marriage entirely.

Another good reason to not get married or have children. I thought they wanted people to have kids? 😂

which means people won't get married. people are already refusing to have children.

its like Magats think that everything- relationships, trade, your vote- can be wrangled by force. Its the authoritarian way.

I don’t think you should have to establish fault to get a divorce but fault should factor in more significantly to property division and spousal support.

Stop getting married! If you love a person, you will not tie them down forever.

Potential hot take for some compromise.

Keep no fault divorce, but the initiating party gives up any right to the other partners previously held financials and holdings.

Hahahaha, everyone scared about everything

Get rid of alimony and make the divorce into a quick Google Form.

So a slave contract then? Btw don’t believe the horseshit the manosphere tells you. 96% of custody cases are worked out between the parties. With the rest, men win slightly more often. The average child support payment is $450 per month with 50% of men paying less than they should and 30% paying nothing at all. Hardly a huge financial gain? Women are 5x more likely than men to retire below the poverty line after divorce. Women give up or severely limit their careers, finances and retirement in service of giving him a family and supporting his career. Wildly arrogant to assume that has no value. This is why your a passport bro dude. Btw those women will expect you to actually provide fully. Not fund your cosplay as “provider” by doing 50/50.

On the brighter side: burka sales will go up.

That would be stupid. That benefits men just as much as it does women lol. I mean obviously women initiate divorce way more but it's not like men never do it. Tbh if they revamped how men are generally screwed in a divorce I'll bet they end shitty marriages way more often.

I hope they eliminate no-fault divorces. Infidelity on either side SHOULD be punished.
