when did no fault divorce come into effect
No-fault divorce Today, every state plus the District of Columbia permits no-fault divorce, though requirements for obtaining a no-fault divorce vary.[20] California was the first U.S. state to pass a no-fault divorce law. Its law was signed by Governor Ronald Reagan, a divorced and remarried former movie actor, and came into effect in 1970.[21] New York was the last state to pass a no-fault divorce law; that law was passed in 2010.[22][23]
