Divorce Reform Page


Information, opinions and links about efforts to introduce consent-based divorce or limit no-fault divorce in the U.S., and anti-divorce efforts worldwide. Please tell me about links to add. I am a divorce lawyer who believes in discouraging, restricting and reducing divorce. I would welcome any opportunity to write, speak to groups or talk to the media about this issue. I am also Executive Director of a new group called Americans for Divorce Reform.
