that, you know, somehow this was this thing that people talked about as though it was so awful and should be avoided. And yet we were all in some way participating in it.

One thing that I love about No Fault so much, and I told you this before, is that how it is on like dual tracks of memoir and research, I think is so powerful and well done. Can you tell us some of the things that you learned about divorce? as a concept and as a piece of our present day legal system, I guess, that were really fascinating to you?

Yes. Thank you so much. I'm so glad you thought that. Yeah, I definitely started doing the research because I was in over my head. It's such a huge topic that I didn't even know where to start. And even now, I still think I could have done more or I could have found other ways into the topic, but I knew I wanted to focus on North America.

And I knew that I wanted to focus on the concept of what's most commonly called no fault divorce, because I felt like that represented a before and after for our understanding of it. You know, in the time when you really had to not make up a story, but at least tell a story that a judge would believe in order to grant you a divorce.

the influence that that had on the way people saw their relationships and their families was so massive that it seemed like there was no way that you could just flip a switch in the year 1970, which was when no-fault divorce was first introduced in America, and everybody would let that go.

To me, what I really wanted to explore was whether or not we sort of took the concept of fault out of courtrooms and into our conversations, because I do think the tendency is always To wonder during a breakup, whose fault is it or who wanted it, who asked for it versus who was broken up with. And to me, that really reflects that same idea of who's at fault.

And so a lot of the research was really fascinating. I did think it was so funny. when I learned that Vatican City doesn't allow any divorce legally, just because that's so cute that they put that into writing. Just in case, just in case. Yeah, so filing for divorce when they're visiting Vatican City for the afternoon.
