Though no-fault divorce was first legalized more than 50 years ago, it has long been sneered at in conservative circles, who see it as a danger to the sanctity of marriage and the concept of the American family.

    Yep. Though, much like many things that benefit women and are hated by conservatives, it also benefits men.

    No fault divorce benefits everyone but people who want to be married to someone even when that person doesn’t want to be married to them. It means that you don’t have to prove anything to get divorced, you just have to say “I don’t want to be married anymore”.

    As someone happily married, I’m a lifelong advocate of making divorce accessible to everyone who wants one.
