New York Goes No-Fault
Governor David Patterson signed a bill passing no-fault divorce law for the state of New York. The new bill will allow couples to divorce by mutual consent or unilaterally.Governor Paterson said in a statement. "These bills fix a broken process that produced extended and contentious litigation, poisoned feelings between the parties and harmed the interests of those persons -- too often women -- who did not have sufficient financial wherewithal to protect their legal rights. I commend the sponsors on providing a real and effective legislative solution to a problem that has for too long bedeviled ordinary New Yorkers."Evidently Governor Patterson knows nothing about divorce in those states that already have no-fault divorce laws. It is the two people divorcing who determine how "contentious" the litigation becomes, not the laws of the state. Too bad states can't adopt laws require couples to be civil and respectful during the divorce process.To say that no-fault divorce laws protect the financial interest of anyone is ludicrous. It is especially so as far as women and children go. No-fault divorce laws give free reign to men who want to abandon a wife and his children. I'm not sure why Governor Patterson believes a woman will have more "sufficient financial wherewithal to protect their legal rights" under a no-fault system. A woman will fare as well under no-fault laws as she did under fault laws. In most cases that isn't very well.What do no-fault divorce laws really mean for the state of New York? It means a man can be left, with no legal recourse should his wife find someone new. She, more than likely can take his children, change forever the time his is allowed to have with his children, request alimony and get child support all on a whim.A woman can be left to raise her children alone or after decades of marriage face her retirement years alone should some prettier, younger model come along. Her husband can sail off into the sunset with his new sweetie while the old model works well past the age of retirement just to keep a roof over her head.No-fault divorce, just like fault divorce is not in the best interest of most. Lies are told, harm is done and feelings are "poisoned" regardless of the laws. At least under fault divorce laws you have to work your way out of a marriage. People are forced to stop and think twice before dismantling something that was once precious to them. That is no longer the case in New York.
