I think just the opposite. Marraige should be treated like every other legally binding contract. The one one who defaults on the terms of the contract forfeits everything.

In no-fault divorce, neither member of the party needs to reveal their reason for wanting a divorce or reveal that the other had committed adultery, abandonment, felony, or other act 'required' before being allowed a divorce. This can be used either as a way of keeping privacy or as a means of getting a divorce for just about any reason.

I think no-fault divorce is fine. I do not think divorce is a desirable or good thing necessarily, but I also don't believe in people staying in bad relationships. No fault divorce makes it easier for abused spouses to obtain divorces. I very much believe that if somebody wants to leave you, there is sometimes nothing you can do to stop it, so also no-fault divorce allows people to leave bad relationships they otherwise would not opt to leave. I would rather my husband divorce me for no good reason than be married to me for no good reason.

No-fault divorce is the reason I'm so nervous about getting married. Why get married when theres a good chance she could divorce me for no good reason and take half my stuff?

People like to throw out red herrings like abuse but according to CNN 67% of divorces are for trivial reasons like "we grew apart".

You're right. If you can't trust someone enough to believe they'll stick around, then you shouldn't get married. But it doesn't really matter. If someone changes or gets hurt and decides they don't want to be with you anymore, there isn't much you can do to stop it by just being against certain legal concept. By the time it gets around to divorce, it's too late. Just make sure you find a trustworthy person, and do your part to do the right thing and keep it a happy marriage. That's all we can do. Don't give up!

So your concern isn't actually for the relationship itself, but that she might not be legally forced to stay with you if she wants out?

Both really. But it is concerning to me that she could get a divorce for no legitimate reason and take half my stuff.
