Warnings have been popping up on social media urging women who might be considering divorce to “pull the trigger” while they still can ever since President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance won the election.
No fault divorce helps those who aren’t the one at fault for an unhappy marriage. And honestly it helps those sufficiently at fault too by keeping them alive. It’s really only the people who are unpleasant to be around and would be less happy alone than in a marriage where they’re the reason their spouse is unhappy that benefit.
Like seriously I have a friend whose husband decided to leave her for a midlife crisis (she didn’t say that but she described it) and while she’s financially fucked if she doesn’t get alimony, once her finances are resolved she’s going to be better off assuming she can get health insurance. She’s actually a bit excited to be single because the marriage isn’t happy anymore.
