The real issue is when people, often on the advise of their attorney, seek to garner financial gain for themselves through perjury, false accusations and innuendos. Most the issues in family court would be solved if the courts would simply enforce current law. Punish people who commit perjury and convict lawyers who commit fraud.
For men—particularly those who are fathers—these potential legal changes could carry serious consequences.
Financial Risks
If fault is reintroduced as a primary divorce requirement, it may shift how courts handle spousal support, asset division, and legal costs. Accusations of fault could be used strategically, putting men in a defensive position even in amicable separations.
Custody Concerns
Men often already face biases in child custody battles. If courts begin tying fault to parental fitness, fathers could be unfairly penalized based on vague or subjective evidence. This is especially concerning in high-conflict divorces or those involving accusations designed to influence custody outcomes.
Legal Complexity
The simplicity of no-fault divorce allows men who want to peacefully exit their marriages to do so with dignity. Rolling back that option would likely increase the cost, time, and emotional strain involved in divorce—placing more burden on those who may already be at a disadvantage.
