Truth is, the hostile takeover was the No Fault Divorce-
Beginning in the late 1960s many states introduced “irreconcilable differences” as grounds for divorce; effectively ushering in a period of unilateral divorce—divorce upon the request of one spouse, regardless of the other spouse’s wishes. In addition to the passage of unilateral divorce laws during this period, many states removed fault as a consideration in property division and a few states changed the type of property division laws. Current all but five states have some form of unilateral divorce and two-thirds allow unrestricted unilateral divorce. New York’s state legislature is currently debating whether to adopt unilateral divorce.
These legal reforms fundamentally change the marriage contract, by first, removing the ability to make intertemporal contracts within marriage—one spouse cannot promise not to leave their spouse in the future—and second, shifting the right to divorce (and hence bargaining power) from the party most interested in preserving the marriage to the person (and their gold-digging gigolos) who most wants out of the marriage. - Marriage and Divorce: Changes and their Driving Forces, 2006
