The growing advocates of tougher divorce laws, as a means to control the runaway divorce rate, are only succeeding in artificially propping up the feel-good factor pertaining to the control of high divorce rates. In reality, the workarounds like live-in relationships, postponement of marriage age coupled with far-from-ideal divorce laws are wreaking havoc on society, silently.

Despite the existence of no-fault divorce laws, the mechanism of divorce mediation is also finding increasing favour with couples who intend to divorce. It is obvious that the outlook of any couple intending to split, surely desires to exclude or keep to a minimum, the legal procedures. A majority of the divorce cases, in the U.K and the U.S are uncontested divorces. Notwithstanding the tirade of the hardliners (for tougher divorce laws), the unambiguous and practical message to the law makers is loud and clear. Ease the existing divorce laws, please.
