Bar Associations Back Divorce Law Reform

As a result of New York’s obsolete divorce law, families suffer, children are permanently scarred, and abusive marriages are encouraged … Fortunately, the city and state bar associations are backing legislation in Albany to change to a no-fault model. While New York State legislators are mostly known for what they do not do – get a state budget passed, control Medicaid costs, work across party lines – now they have an opportunity to agree on helping couples disagree, and divorce, with dignity.
