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.
This is blathering at this point. Show me anywhere that has no fault divorce and successful marriage and birthing rates. You’re claims are fantastical conjecture, we have a massively one sided market currently and your answer is to only punish adultery? No fault divorce was a communist design meant to bastardize marriage not make it better. We need to hold people accountable to their commitments if they choose to make them. Right now all punishing adultery only would do is make the problem worse. You really think that continuing to enable the gay concept of marriage will really help straight people….
