Divorce in the United States
I 1960'erne, som følge af andenbølgefeminismen, var brugen af hemmelige eller vildledende metoder til at omgå fejlsystemet blevet en udbredt bekymring, hvis ikke ligefrem en udbredt praksis, og der var udbredt enighed om, at noget måtte ændres. National Association of Women Lawyers var medvirkende til at overbevise American Bar Association om at hjælpe med at oprette en afdeling for familieret ved mange delstatsdomstole og pressede kraftigt på for en lov om skilsmisse uden skyld omkring 1960 (jf. Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act). I 1969 blev Californien den første stat i USA, der vedtog en lov om skilsmisse uden skyld.

By the 1960s, due to the emergence of second wave feminism, the use of collusive or deceptive practices to bypass the fault system had become a widespread concern, if not actually a widespread practice, and there was widespread agreement that something had to change. The National Association of Women Lawyers was instrumental in convincing the American Bar Association to help create a Family Law section in many state courts, and pushed strongly for no-fault divorce law around 1960 (cf. Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act). In 1969, California became the first U.S. state to pass a no-fault divorce law.
