Lastly, believe me when I say it is much easier to get married (and stay married) in this country than to be awarded a divorce decree. This is why you have a lot of couples just physically seperated instead of going through the court system.
While the 'no fault' statute may not be a federal law, it has been adopted by MOST states in one form or another. California was the first state to legislate the statute back in the late '60s, however within a decade most other states had followed suit by adopting it in some form. So regardless, the statute's still applicable to a majority of americans. Bottomline is, the divorce rate is still way too high, and since it's the courts that grant the decree then I fail to see how it, and the legal system, can be absolved from complicity.
