My ex-wife and I filed the requisite paperwork and a month or so later met downtown at the courthouse to finalize our petition for a no-fault divorce. We had filled out some of the paperwork incorrectly, scooted over to the law library around the corner and returned less than an hour later to wrap things up, paying a fee so incidental I couldn’t be bothered to remember the amount.
No-fault is a near necessity for folks that want to take the high road out of a shitty situation. Going on to think of the massive cost savings, we’re left not only with religion to blame for the curtailing of our rights under law, but also perhaps the legal profession that spawned many of these legislators. Fuck them all.
Let’s be honest here… they don’t have a problem with no fault divorce in principal… they have a problem with women being able to file for divorce on their own.
Divorce is a decision that should be left up to the man. /s
Ah Republicans when faced with the fact that they’re shitty husbands and get divorced at higher rates than in the past, instead of looking inwards and trying to figure out why less people want to fuck and stay married to their shitty views, simply want to outlaw women and men to extricate themselves out of their shitty conservative marriage and force them to remain unhappy.
Spot on Republican family values.
funny how republican men just recently were whining that they can’t find a date because of their political beliefs.
while pushing for shit like this. and they can’t even see the dots, let alone connect them
The GOP is the party of increased infant mortality and high rates of spousal abuse, homicide, and suicide.
At least they are ideological consistent.
Hey republiQan women - a new vista! A new opportunity to damage the quality of life for all your countrywomen - for the forseeable future - possibly permanently! Just vote like you always do! (Ha ha! I know we don’t have to tell you that. You’re very reliable!)
Oh! uhhh . . mmmigrant caravan! Umm . . . don’t say gay! . . . uhh . . and so on. You know the words.
It’s just exhausting to see them saying this dumb as fuck bullshit and they stay in office term after term. The 14th Amendment is about crimes, not no-fault divorces.
Repubs love ignoring amendments unless they are able to make create sort of fiction that an amendment supports their claims. We have this dumb shit going on while at the same time they’re trying to jam religious trash in the schools.
GOOD!
-Republicans apparently judging by the Primary Results.
Republicans are some weakass snowflakes .
Beverly Willett, a writer and attorney, argues that unilateral no-fault divorce is also unconstitutional because it violates a person’s 14th amendment right to due process.
The defendant “has absolutely no recourse to say, ‘Wait a minute. I don’t want to be divorced, and I don’t think that there are grounds for divorce. I would like to be heard. I would like to call witnesses,’” said Willett, who experienced a divorce she didn’t want because she thought her marriage could be saved. “I believed in my vows” and “didn’t want to give up”.
What witnesses do you need other than the one person saying “I no longer love them and have no desire to put any more effort into making it work.”
Conservatives really have no empathy don’t they? “This is what I want so it doesn’t matter what you want.”
I think I know why they divorced you…Are they going to start demanding witnesses before you can break up with someone you’re dating too?
I for one hope this simply leads to the end of marriage. That whole concept is built rather one sided. Time for relationship contracts… renewable, but always finite. With separation details worked out in advance. Let’s get religion out of it entirely.
Some Republicans have said that they want to make it illegal to cohabitate without being married.
These shit birds are not going to rest until women have no autonomy.
Good luck to them on that… cause that is how you get a revolution. Lol
They are chipping away with our any revolts so you know I doubt they think we will do anything .

They literally don’t give a shit what we think unless we are donating massive amounts of money. We don’t live in a democracy anymore
As big fan of the original constitution, I personally don’t believe in any laws or technology from after March 4, 1789.
Let me own a tank damnit!
Found the tankie!
That’s what that means right?
Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
If they succeed with this, it will still fail.
Fewer people will get married. Domestic violence will rise. “Till death do you part” gets a much more malicious meaning.
If domestic violence rises, how is still “failing”? It’s the kind of success those fuckers want.
But it will not be the kind of violence they want tho a lot more of broken glass in the husband meal than man beating their wife
Please use punctuation.

Marriage is just made up. People can partner off with no need for state intervention.
