How does the no-fault divorce disadvantage children?
What will be an ideal response?
No-fault divorce laws cause an economic hardship for women and their children. When assets are equally divided, often the house needs to be sold and therefore a move will be required. This may result in a disruption of the children's schooling and their friendships. In addition, the age of majority is reduced from age 21 to age 18 and children are no longer considered eligible for child support.
