Quick No-Fault Divorce Reform of 2019
Rationale
Streamlining divorces reduces emotional strain and costly delays, benefiting families and court efficiency whilst maintaining fairness. If a marriage is over, the State shouldn't make it harder for the soon-to-be divorcees for no reason: it's a matter of individual freedom.
