Seriously? OMG! WTF?

California could go from a no-fault divorce state, to a no divorce state if a man has his way. According to the LA Times, John Marcotte has up until March 22, 2010 to get almost 700,000 signatures of registered voters to get his initiative banning divorce in California on the ballot next year. Here is the initiative.

ELIMINATES THE LAW ALLOWING MARRIED COUPLES TO DIVORCE. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Changes the California Constitution to eliminate the ability of married couples to get divorced in California. Preserves the ability of married couples to seek an annulment. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Savings to the state of up to hundreds of millions of dollars annually for support of the court system due to the elimination of divorce proceedings.

Couples can still get their marriages annulled, but they cannot get divorced if he gets his initiative passed into law. While part of me wants to think that this whole thing is just a big joke, California is not as liberal as we would like to think. Remember last year they said no to gay marriage, maybe now those same people will say no to ending marriages. What will Hollywood celebrities do if they can’t divorce?
