It appears that New York needs no-fault divorce laws. I never had the misfortune to practice in a state without no-fault. Just thinking of having to stick together in the absence of fault gives me the shivers.

Because fault puts you a leg down in support and the division of property.

Here in NoVA, even if there is fault the judges almost never use it against the litigants unless it's egregious, like flagrant adultery where you shower money and gifts on the paramour, or vicious beatings, or abandoning a sick spouse or leaving little kids destitute.
