Abolish Fault-Oriented Divorce in Ohio - As a Service to Society and to Restore Dignity to the Domestic Relations Court

Abstract

A PROMINENT COMMON PLEAS JUDGE, who for 10 years has been presiding in the Domestic Relations Division of the Court of Common Pleas of one of Ohio\u27s more populated counties, was recently heard to say: Ohio\u27s divorce law is hypocritical, lousy and archaic. About Ohio\u27s divorce laws it has also been said: Perhaps there is no statute in Ohio more abused than the statute concerning \u27divorce and alimony.\u27 Perhaps there is no statute under which greater imposition is practiced upon the court and more injustice done to individuals. These were the words of Judge Hitchcock of the Ohio Supreme Court\u27 in the year 1832
