Having gone through a divorce in a no-fault community property state, I can say that it does kind of take all the fun out of getting divorced. The "chainsaw law" of just split it down the middle and walk away isn't by any stretch of the imagination fair. It makes you feel like those two women when King Soloman told them to cut the baby in half. But it does tamp down the drama significantly. In the case of the Burke couple, they seem to need a nasty, drawn-out divorce. Doing it through the mail like me and my spouse would be a little anticlimactic for them and they seem much too petty and dramatic to be satisfied with anything less than dragging each other in and out of court for half a decade.
