Mississippi will not add domestic violence as grounds for divorce

Is that the question? That’s not what I meant to imply. Most divorces have significant legal considerations, from the division of debt and assets, to the custody and care of the children. What I’m saying is that people need to be able to consider those consequences, and not either be the one left holding the bag, nor be the one who simply files for your “no questions asked” divorces and walks away from their debt and responsibilities.

Okay, we’ve got an issue of why vs. how here. When you said:

@waetherman

For instance, if a person gets in a huff over something minor, and decides to run down to the court house and file for a divorce, there may be children who could be seriously affected.

I thought you were saying the state has an interest in why a divorce is happening - whether a person should be second guessed by the court house as to their reasons for no longer wanting to be in a marriage and therefore possibly denied the divorce if the reasons aren’t good enough. That’s what the issue for grounds for divorce is about.

How a divorce is happening is another thing - who gets what property, what responsibilities people have. I am saying there should be “no questions asked” about why only.
