Repealing no-fault divorce has so far stalled across the US. Some worry that'll change under Trump.
Warnings have been popping up on social media urging women who might be considering divorce to “pull the trigger” while they still can ever since President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance won the election. While Trump hasn’t championed overhauling the country’s divorce laws, Vance did lament that divorce is too easily accessible, as have conservative podcasters and others. Yet despite concerns, even those who want to make divorces harder to get say they don’t expect big, swift changes. There is not a national coordinated effort underway. And states determine their own divorce laws, so national leaders can’t change policy.
