The History of the No-Fault Divorce

Since no-fault divorces were first introduced in California in 1970, they have become far and away the more popular divorce choice. Prior to introduction of the no-fault divorce, a couple hoping to dissolve their marriage would be forced to prove that one of the spouses was “at-fault,” meaning that he or she had done something severe enough to irrevocably destroy the marriage. For generations, the only way for a person to end his or her marriage was to prove that the other spouse had committed a serious infraction, commit one themselves, or manufacture a situation that would lead to a divorce.
