Should divorce be so easy to get? WHat should be the law concering divorce? A long time ago people had to prove a marriage partner was unfit before they could obtain a divorce. Today, they can just agree on getting a divorce. What do you think?

I don't believe in it for me..which is why I haven't gotten married yet, because even though I've lived with a few guys I have never been with anyone that I felt I wanted to be with forever and I knew I could live with for the rest of my life.. I'm still waiting for that guy to come along. and I never want to be divorced. If I get married it will be forever. ..But for other people who got married for the wrong reasons, or too soon, or sometimes people change after marriage and you fall out of love..or one cheats..for whatever reason people feel they should be divorced, I think it's something they should have the option to do. I don't think they should have to prove the other is unfit, because sometimes it's noone's fault that a marriage doesn't work out, so why have to make one person have to be the bad guy if there isn't one. If two people are miserable and making their home an unhealthy environment for their kids to grow up in, that's not a good thing either. I do think it would be a good idea to require some kind of counseling or something..but I don't think it should be made too hard to get out of a bad marriage once you both agree that its over.

I have heard 25 is the magic number. After age 25 people aren't as likely to choose a different partner.

Just like pre-marital counseling is required in most states I think the same should pertain to divorce. I think you should be required to go through some kind of counseling before being granted a divorce, especially when kids are involved. There is nothing worse then a dirty divorce with kids in the middle being slung around and used for leverage.

pre-counseling is a good idea.

Divorce should not be taken lightly. It is a committment which is binding and ought to be honored as a contract between tow people. Granted, people do make mistakes for one reason or another and the contract should be voided if there is abuse or infidelity in the marriage. Sometimes a person's true colors are not shone until AFTER the marriage has taken place. In that sense an annulment should be granted. If people choose to have children then divorce should be extremely hard to get.
