Summary
I'm chatting with Erin Levine, the founder and CEO of Hello Divorce, about why the push to get rid of no-fault divorce is seriously bad news—especially for women. No-fault divorce has enabled people to leave marriages without having to prove things like abuse or cheating and it makes women safer.
The GOP wants to repeal or restrict no-fault divorce. We're here to break down why that's a huge problem. Erin, a lawyer-turned-CEO, has been shaking up the divorce world with Hello Divorce, a platform that makes the whole process smoother, easier, and less stressful. In this episode, we discuss what no-fault divorce is, why it matters, and what could happen if it's taken away. Spoiler alert: it's not good.
Featured topics:
- No-fault divorce: What it is, and how it differs from fault-based divorce (4:55)
- How no-fault laws help victims leave unsafe marriages (6:55)
- Why the rollback of no-fault divorce would be disastrous (32:17)
- What you can do to ensure no-fault divorce protections remain in place (34:16)
