I support getting rid of no-fault divorce when the time is right. With the current cultural mores, it would probably be a disaster. As for your supposed motivation: there are far narrower ways in which 'whoring off' can be prevented, like punishing the party engaged in adultery.
That’s what getting rid of no fault divorce would do….. adultery becomes punishable and causal to make the adulterer lose everything.
That's certainly also possible without getting rid of no-fault divorce.
Suppose that one of the parties engaged in adultery, and that results in a divorce, that party is the one that should lose everything.
But something tells me that you're not exactly thinking in terms of plans that are realistic or beneficial.
You’re describing what fault based divorce is and then saying it’s bad…. Realistically we don’t want people married that can’t handle not being children. Make people put accountability on the line and magically shit will reduce.
I really don't. You can have no fault divorce and penalties for adulterers.
No fault divorce means that people can divorce if they want to.
If you make contracts harder to get out of, you'll get less of those contracts. Like in France, where you can't fire employees (or very difficult) and as a result, they don't hire people. The same thing will happen to marriages if you make them close to impossible to get out of.
