Abstract:
As of early 2025, no-fault divorce remains legal in all 50 states; however, lawmakers in several states, including Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas, have introduced or are actively discussing legislative proposals that could restrict or eliminate the practice. This article, which originally appeared in Ms. Shearin’s blog (https:// tinyurl.com/2scd9t6w) and republished here with permission of the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts (https://institutedfa.com/), reviews the history of no-fault divorce laws, their current status, and the proposed changes sought by states reconsidering their no-fault statutes.Keywords: No-Fault Divorce Laws
