SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the implications of no-fault divorce laws and their impact on marriage, particularly in the context of high-profile cases like Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. Participants argue that such laws discourage marriage by allowing ex-spouses to claim financial support regardless of fault. The conversation highlights the necessity of prenuptial agreements to protect individual assets and questions the fairness of alimony payments. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that current laws may undermine the institution of marriage rather than support it.

Ok, then what's the effect ?

Now you asked the right question. I might add my own, which is, "quantify and qualify the effect, BOTH."
