at-fault divorce  

Definición

  • Today all 50 states and the District of Columbia have some provision on their books for securing the nonadversarial dissolution of marriage through no-fault divorce. Nevertheless, until 1970, when California became the first state to institute no-fault, divorce was attainable only by attributing blame for the breakdown of the marriage to one of the spouses.
