Divorce Reform Page
Information, opinions and links about efforts to introduce consent-based
divorce or limit no-fault divorce in the U.S., and anti-divorce efforts
worldwide. Please tell me about
links to add. I am a divorce lawyer who believes in discouraging, restricting
and reducing divorce. I would welcome any opportunity to write, speak to
groups or talk to the media about this issue. I am also Executive Director
of a group called Americans for
Divorce Reform.
