?My fight to stop my divorce?

By Alliance Alert

Beverly Willett writing at The Daily Beast: "No-fault assumes that removing choice from the equation will lead to less acrimony, but that?s too simplistic. It assumes the only reason parties would ever hold up a divorce is to angle for money. It tosses aside the notion that one might want to stay married because of one?s pledge, or for the sake of the children . . . Governor Paterson commended New York?s legislature for 'fix[ing] a broken process.' But no-fault isn?t the answer. It won?t cure our national preoccupation with searching for happiness in greener pastures?the root cause of rampant divorce?any more than a fault-based system of divorce can. We?ve created a happiness culture without understanding what that means or how to achieve it. Ditch your spouse and eat, pray, love your way to the next one."
