Fault-based divorces have fallen into ill favor and disrepute in most jurisdictions in the United States, thus reflecting the changing social attitudes toward gender roles. As a result, many jurisdictions have adopted 'no-fault' grounds for divorce, making divorce a generally less acrimonious event.

Currently, only 20 states do not consider the concept of fault or marital misconduct when making alimony determinations. Contrary to same, 22 states continue to allow consideration of fault when determining alimony awards.
