From Cosmopolitan:
Plenty of people—including some North Carolina lawmakers—can see that no one benefits from an entire year spent in relationship limbo. In 2023, legislators proposed a bill that would cut the separation period in half. But so far, the law hasn't changed. Instead, while I endured the separation period, bold names in this election cycle were arguing that getting rid of my cheating husband and getting on with my life should be even harder. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson called no-fault divorce a "scheme" Americans have been convinced to accept and Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has said it's an "assault on the institution of marriage." An Oklahoma republican introduced a bill that would eliminate no-fault divorce in the state and the Texas and Nebraska Republican Parties have also proposed restrictions.
