No Fault Divorce Laws in the 1970's

The adoption of no-fault divorce laws by the other states

By 1977 nine states had adopted no-fault divorce laws and by late 1983, every state but South Dakota and New York had adopted some form of no-fault divorce (although some forms were not as easy to obtain as that in California). South Dakota was previously the last state to adopt no-fault divorce in 1985.[16] Until August 2010, New York still lacked a unilateral "no-fault" divorce statute; under New York divorce law only if both parties notarize a separation agreement and live separately for one year, could a judge convert it into a divorce.

In August 2000, Attorney Ed Truncellito filed suit against the State Bar of Texas, alleging the no-fault law in Texas was misapplied because he asserts that the legislative history of no-fault divorce law in Texas makes it clear that the law was meant for uncontested cases only.
As of October 2010, all states and the District of Columbia allow no-fault divorce. No-fault divorce is available in New York as of October 15th, 2010.

What I've found to be true is that the children suffer seperation 
anxiety, a loss so severe that they never recooperate from.  And
have difficulty being able to have there own fulfilled loving family 
unit.  It happened to me twice.    Take it from me - 
Everybody looses!!!

  1. Do you know how we could contact Ed Truncellito, the Texas Lawyer who filed this RICO case? We were looking into doing the same thing here in Alaska. Contact me at dennyaudio_2000@yahoo.com or 907 522-0304, (my home phone number). Thank you.
