Differences in religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds can impact the way a person views divorce. For example, some religions frown on divorce and so some couples seek an annulment rather than a dissolution of their marriage. There are also differences in the way divorce cases take place today than just a few short years ago. Years ago, a divorce was granted by finding fault with one of the parties’ actions. Essentially, in the past a divorce was only granted if one party could show that they were wronged in some way by their spouse. Today though the process is a no fault process in nearly every state, and divorces are granted without the need to place blame.
Some of the changes in divorce processes are beneficial. When laws are changed there can be more clarity and uniformity, which gives people the ability to look at an issue and feel confident in how it will likely be resolved. Some recent changes or an evolution of divorce include:
● An increased rate of participation in mediation or collaborative divorce.
● Equal parenting time or shared custody rather than an automatic award of custody to the mother.
● Implementation of same sex marriages laws, which gives all couples the same rights regardless of sexual orientation.
