For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.

      When unilateral “no fault” divorce laws started passing one state at a time, starting with Governor Ronald Reagan in California in 1969, researchers wanted to see the effect. In states that passed unilateral no-fault divorce, they observed:

      The domestic violence rate by and against both men and women dropped by 30%.

      The homicide rate of women murdered by their partner dropped by 10%.
