The marriage-saving elements of no-fault divorce law -- marriage counseling, trial separation/waiting periods to allow reconciliation, mutual-consent requirements/incentives, and case-by-case determinations of whether a marriage was truly "irretrievably broken" by "irreconcilable differences" -- were at the heart of no-fault divorce laws when they were proposed, but largely abandoned when the laws were implemented. But they still shine through sometimes, especially but not exclusively in Tennessee, as today's internet-breaking family law case reveals.
