    Beverly Willett, a writer and attorney, argues that unilateral no-fault divorce is also unconstitutional because it violates a person’s 14th amendment right to due process.

    The defendant “has absolutely no recourse to say, ‘Wait a minute. I don’t want to be divorced, and I don’t think that there are grounds for divorce. I would like to be heard. I would like to call witnesses,’” said Willett, who experienced a divorce she didn’t want because she thought her marriage could be saved. “I believed in my vows” and “didn’t want to give up”.

    What witnesses do you need other than the one person saying “I no longer love them and have no desire to put any more effort into making it work.”

    Conservatives really have no empathy don’t they? “This is what I want so it doesn’t matter what you want.”
    I think I know why they divorced you…

    Are they going to start demanding witnesses before you can break up with someone you’re dating too?

      DATING??? You filthy hoarslaut, you should be burned at the stake. The females are to go straight from the ownership of their parents to their husband’s bed at age 14, lest they become ugly 18 year old spinsters no honest Trump fearing man would want. The males are to work in the mines 20 hours a day and learn to hate women so they’ll prefer to marry a little girl at age 40.
