Could women divorce in the early 20th century

Yes, women could technically get a divorce in the early 20th century, but it was extremely difficult due to strict laws that usually required proving "fault" on the part of the husband, such as adultery, abandonment, or cruelty, making it significantly harder for women to initiate a divorce compared to men at the time; most states required proof of a husband's wrongdoing to grant a divorce to a wife.

Key points about divorce in the early 20th century:
  • Fault-based system:
    Divorce laws were largely "fault-based," meaning a spouse had to prove the other committed a specific offense to be granted a divorce.

  • Challenges for women:
    Women often faced significant hurdles in proving their husband's fault due to societal norms and limited legal rights.

  • Limited grounds for divorce:
    Common grounds for divorce included adultery, desertion, cruelty, and sometimes mental illness.

  • Social stigma:
    Divorce was still widely stigmatized in society, further discouraging women from seeking it.


NO FAULT DIVORCE

Yes, women could divorce in the 1950s, but divorce laws were still restrictive:

  • Fault
    Until the late 1960s, divorce laws required the petitioning party to prove fault, such as abandonment or adultery, to have their divorce granted. A person could not divorce their spouse simply because they were unhappy in the relationship.
  • Family court system
    In the 1950s, the family court system was created, moving divorce from traditional court systems to one dedicated to divorce and family law matters.
  • No-fault divorce
    The National Association of Women Lawyers (NAWL) drafted and promoted a model no-fault divorce law in the 1950s, two decades before the no-fault divorce movement of the 1970s.

The divorce revolution of the 1960s and '70s was over-determined. The nearly universal introduction of no-fault divorce helped to open the floodgates, especially because these laws facilitated unilateral divorce and lent moral legitimacy to the dissolution of marriages. The sexual revolution, too, fueled the marital tumult of the times: Spouses found it easier in the Swinging Seventies to find extramarital partners, and came to have higher, and often unrealistic, expectations of their marital relationships. Increases in women's employment as well as feminist consciousness-raising also did their part to drive up the divorce rate, as wives felt freer in the late '60s and '70s to leave marriages that were abusive or that they found unsatisfying.

No-fault divorce is a legal status that allows a spouse to get a divorce without having to prove that their partner did something wrong. Before 1976, divorce was only possible if one spouse had acted wrongly, a rule known as the Schuldprinzip ("principle of guilt"). In 1969, California Governor Ronald Reagan* signed the first no-fault divorce bill in the United States, allowing couples to split for no other reason than "irreconcilable differences".

By 1977, 47 states permitted no-fault divorce, and by 1985, all 50 states permitted some form of no-fault divorce. New York was the last state to become no-fault, passing legislation in 2010.
 


The most sophisticated money launderer in US history is currently occupying the WHITE HOUSE.

Just months before Donald Trump announced his bid for president in 2015, federal regulators announced they were slapping one of his longtime Atlantic City casinos with a record-setting $10 million fine for lack of controls around money laundering.

The problems went back years. The penalty was actually the second record-setting fine for the Trump Taj Mahal involving money-laundering oversight.

What exactly did the Taj fail to do? Casino officials admitted to “willful and repeated” violations of the Bank Secrecy Act: As federal authorities put it in a settlement, the Trump Taj Mahal “failed to report suspicious transactions; failed to properly file required currency transaction reports; and failed to keep appropriate records as required.”

In this episode of Trump, Inc., our podcast with ProPublica, we dig into the now-bankrupt and shuttered Trump Taj Mahal, once one of the biggest and glitziest casinos in the world. It’s a story of chaotic operations, massive debt, and a tendency to treat rules as more like suggestions. Ring a bell?

9,500 layoffs, 75,000 buyouts in US: Which agencies hit the hardest by Trump, Musk's job cuts?​



In a move to streamline the federal workforce, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have initiated 9,500 layoffs and 75,000 buyouts.​


Thousands of workers at multiple government agencies have been fired so far this week. Most of the fired employees were recent hires on probation.​


President Donald Trump's bid to downsize the government continues as anxious US federal workers expect to see another round of pink slips on Friday.

Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk's overhaul of the federal government appeared to be widening as Musk aides arrived for the first time on Thursday at the federal tax-collecting agency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and US embassies were told to prepare for staff cuts.




Thousands of workers at multiple government agencies have been fired so far this week. Most of the fired employees were recent hires who were still on probation. The affected departments include Veterans Affairs (VA), Education, and the Small Business Administration.

According to a report by Reuters, the idea of firing probationary employees was floated by the officials from the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees federal hiring.

Government data shows that about 280,000 employees out of the 2.3 million member civilian federal workforce were hired in the last two years, with most still on probation. These employees are easier to fire than the old, permanent ones.

Firings at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), however, were going beyond probationary employees, the Reuters report said. Some employees who were on fixed-term contracts have also been axed.

Why is Donald Trump downsizing the US government?

Donald Trump believes that the federal government is too bloated and too much money is lost to waste and fraud.


The federal government has some $36 trillion in debt and ran a $1.8 trillion deficit last year. A bipartisan agreement on the need for government reform is also in place.

The Republican leaders, who have majorities in both chambers of the US Congress, have broadly supported the moves, even as Democrats say Trump is encroaching on the legislature's constitutional authority over federal spending.

Critics have also questioned the blunt force approach of Musk, the world's richest person, who has amassed extraordinary influence in Trump's presidency.

The Donald Trump administration has offered some federal workers an incentive package to quit voluntarily. About 75,000 workers have signed up for the buyout, according to the White House. That is equal to 3 percent of the civilian workforce.

The administration has also tried to gut civil-service protections for career employees, and frozen most of US foreign aid. They have attempted to shutter some government agencies such as the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the CFPB almost entirely.

Unions representing federal workers have already sued to block the buyout plan and one of them, the American Federation of Government Workers, said on Thursday it will fight the mass firings of probationary employees.

Musk has sent DOGE members into at least 16 government agencies, where they have gained access to computer systems with sensitive personnel and financial information, and sent workers home.
 
Man it's quiet around here... There's a lot to be critical of and yet the people you'd expect to have the most opinions... are quiet as fuck..
 
Funny if this was about Kamala or Biden the 8-10 white boys and coons would be rapid re tweeting and crying
remember when someone said this....
On a basic level:
  • Trump/GOP represents a brand of racism and oppression that we’re already familiar with and far more virulent versions of which we have already survived before.
  • Kamala/Obama/Dems are taking us down a dangerous road that will ultimately lead to our annihilation as an ethnocultural group that some of us now see but far too many of us do NOT see.
I’ll DM you later to elaborate on these, particularly the latter point, as you seem to engage issues on a higher level even if we disagree.
