Opinion of no-fault divorce

[Antonio the Sixth]

I really don't think that the most serious problems to which no-fault divorce provides a (far from ideal, but necessary) solution are specific to any historical period or cultural context.

"Better than the alternative" in certain respects, but defenders need to take reducing single parent childrearing arrangements more seriously given the massive evidence that it is harmful to children. If people fifty years ago knew that single parenthood would become the norm for adults without college degrees by today, I doubt that social change would have proceeded as it did.

"The norm"? Surely that's got to be hyperbole... right?

Sadly, it is not:
