No-fault divorce laws combined with the liberal benefits normally granted to one of the spouses provides a great "incentive" to the breakup of a marriage.

In the wake of these no-fault laws comes the legal profession to feed off the divorces and misery caused by a marriage turned sour and which profits them to the tune of billions of dollars annually.

The divorce industry is large and profitable.

"No-fault" divorce was pioneered in the United States by the state of California when Governor Ronald Reagan signed into law the Family Law Act of 1969

The reasons for the decline in marriage have to do with an assortment of cultural and demographic trends. It's ridiculous to describe it as a "strike" or to suggest that "the impediments to a commitment for marriage stem largely from "lifetime alimony." "

I love that this includes a diatribe against single-parent families (targeted at single-parent households where the parent is a woman, no less). Classy. Single-parent homes are no less suitable whether it is a man or a woman.

Among other things, this article just rants about topics that have been talked about in much more civilized, mature ways. Please link to the multitudes of articles that do this instead of this one.
