NEW YORK DIVORCE LAW--GROUNDS

Well, they've been talking about getting true no-fault divorce in NY for years, but it's still the same old Domestic Relations Law Section 170 crap. Marriage creates a set of property rights. There are no limited "Grounds" for marriage, why should there be for divorce, which interprets and divides those property rights? The closest thing we have is the conversion divorce grounds of a separation agreement in force and effect for more than one year. If Dick hates Jane why can't he just go to court and say "I hate Jane, Your Honor, now divvy up our stuff, deal with custody and visitation, child support and all of the important issues--don't bother your black robed little self about why I hate the bitch."?
It's still that old time religion in our statutes, and it's about time we threw out that baby with the bilge water. What are your thoughts?
