Currently, all 50 states and Washington, D.C., offer no-fault divorce, which means that either party can end a marriage without having to provide a reason or prove any wrongdoing, like abuse or adultery. American marriages used to require a fault of some kind to dissolve, but some couples would agree upon a fictitious fault in order to divorce one another, or they would travel to a more lenient region of the country - these were known as divorce havens.

Roberts said during the trip in May that, while the foundation did not officially represent the US government, it could still knit together a network of ideologically aligned groups.
