The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

Susan Guthrie welcomes special guest Marcia Zug, a family law expert and law professor, to discuss the move to repeal no-fault divorce laws. As reform proposals emerge across several states, this conversation explores what a shift back to fault-based divorce could mean for individuals, families, and the legal system. 

Marcia offers insights into the history of no-fault divorce, the forces behind this legislative push, and the potential impacts on personal freedom, safety, and family dynamics. Tune in for an eye-opening look at the fight to preserve no-fault divorce and the disastrous implications for your rights and future.

Featured Topics:

• Understanding the difference between fault divorce and no-fault divorce and what each requires

Golden nuggets:

• “If we want more people to get married, I think they need to understand both what marriage does for them and how it might be beneficial, but also not scare them by locking them into a marriage that they could never get out of.”
