Great now make it so if you cheat you lose the ability to get alimony.

And an open relationship is different then cheating.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

that's the opposite of the point of these laws. the entire point of this and no fault divorce is that the state shouldn't dictate relationships. how are you going to adjudicate cheating anyway?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How?

If person a is shown to have been cheating then person a loses any claim to alimony.

Pretty simple.

Person A in divorce court “judge I want alimony”

Person B in divorce court “your honor Person A was cheating here’s the proof”

Judge “ no alimony will be awarded from Person B to Person A”

Why should anyone be allowed to get alimony after cheating? That’s just insult to injury.

Your spouse cheats you walk in on it and now you want a divorce. Added bonus you have to pay money to the cheater for life???

How does that make sense?

It should literally be law that the alimony goes away at that point.

Even Canada doesn't have that implemented, I wouldn't count on that any time soon. In Canada, your wife could cut off your finger and cheat on you then file for divorce, then you'd have to give her half of your house (even if it was your childhood home you fully owned long before your marriage) and pay her alimony if you make more than her. Also if you have kids, she's very likely going to win custody of them.

It's a bit fucked up lol

Honestly, I think it’s high time we ditch old marriage laws in favor of much more individualized marriage contracts that are settled in civil court if they’re dissolved. Modern marriages are much more complex than traditional ones and our antiquated laws don’t deal with them well. We’d have to update laws/policies about hospital visiting, medical decisions, inheritance, etc, as well, but I think it would be worth it.

I mean, fair, but doesn't really seem like something worth the effort one direction or the other, doubt that law was being enforced much.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Nah, fuck that. If a law isn't enforced it shouldn't be a law. Things being illegal because it's "too much effort" to make it legal is bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We should reduce as much as possible laws that make something illegal but aren't enforced. It creates uncertainty about your position and allows authorities to threaten citizens for unrelated reasons.

Criminal Court? 👎 Civil Court? 👍

Quite literally what civil court was made for
