Join Reform Divorce in working toward two specific goals:

1. Replace No Fault Divorce with Mutual Consent. In cases involving children, and where no allegation is made of abuse, adultery, etc. - states could require that any divorce be agreed to by both husband and wife. What was entered into by two people willingly would not be terminated unless both agree. This reform would reduce divorce rates by 30%, estimates John Crouch, Director of Americans for Divorce Reform.
   
   
2. Replace the presumption of Sole Custody with a presumption of Joint Custody or Shared Parenting in which both parents would have access to their children at least a third of each week. Of six states which passed the strongest Joint Custody laws, five also enjoyed the largest drop in the divorce rate: Montana, Kansas, Connecticut, Idaho and Alaska. Why? "If a parent knows they will have to interact with the other child's parents while the child is growing up, there is less incentive to divorce," says David L. Levy, CEO of Children's Rights Council. He and Crouch estimate this reform could cut divorce by another 20%.

Marriage Savers hopes this new website, ReformDivorce.com, will mobilize thousands of those harmed by divorce to become activists, urging their state legislatures to pass these reforms that could protect 500,000 children a year from seeing their parents divorce.
