No-Fault Divorce Destroyed the Legal System

by Bai Macfarlane

For the first time in centuries, innocent people are summoned to court – with no accusation of fault – and punished.

Steven Baskerville, political science professor, explains the two biggest disasters caused by no-fault divorce. The first disaster was the destruction of the institution of the family. The less-publicized second disaster is that no-fault destroyed the legal system. Innocent people are punished by being kicked out of their home, having their bank accounts seized and raided, and having your children taken away.

The no-fault system institutionalized injustice.

Baskerville’s first book, Taken into Custody, shows how the totalitarian courts violated the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. His latest book is Who Lost America? Why the United States Went “Communist” – and What to Do about It.

In my work as a Catholic upholding marriage, I ask the leaders of Catholic and Christian Church’s to recognize this abomination against natural law and justice

The Thomistic Institute publicizes St. Thomas Aquinas’ teaching on justice:

No-fault divorce is unjust because the political courts require the Defendant to make restitution even though the Defendant was never accused, or proven, to have committed any injury against the Plaintiff, nor found to be a malefactor.  According to the principles of Catholic marriage, one is only justified in separating from the other when the other has committed some grave fault (adultery, abuse, abandonment). But, with no fault divorce, abandoners use the government’s no-fault system to punish the faithful spouse who’s committed none of these offenses.
