EXAMPLE:
It
has been noted that traditionally courts have granted divorces on fault
grounds: one spouse is deemed to be at fault is causing the divorce. More and
more today, however, divorces are being granted on a no-fault basis.
Proponents
of no-fault divorce argue that when a marriage fails, it is rarely the case
that one marriage partner is completely to blame and the other blameless. A
failed marriage is much more often the result of mistakes by both partners.
Another
argument in favour of no-fault divorce is that proving fault in court, in a
public area is a destructive process that only serves to lengthen the divorce
process and that dramatically increases the negative feelings present in a divorce.
If a couple can reach a decision to divorce without first deciding which partner is to blame, the
divorce settlement can be negotiated more easily and, equitably and the
post-divorce healing process can begin more rapidly.
It
can be concluded that whether or not the divorce is fault will depend on the cause of
the divorce it self.
