"Who is to blame for America's trend toward high divorce rates, starting in the 1970s?"

No-fault divorces are to blame for America’s trend toward high divorce rates during the 1970s. Married couples are able to get a divorce easily. Men with the “Jennifer Fever” were able to easily have a divorce with their wives and find another woman that was young to let them feel younger. No-fault divorce makes divorce easy, which caused America to have high divorce rates.
