Fault is not a factor in Washington state. Wasting of community assets
on non-community purposes, however, can be considered (gambling away
community assets, spending community assets on a girlfriend, etc.)

Hi everyone. I just read that New York is becoming a no fault state and that there are now 49 no fault states. I think they must mean that you no longer have to prove fault in order to qualify for a divorce.
However, I am doing some research on this, and discovered that many states have provisions wherein fault regularly influences awards. For example, if there is fault, spousal support is largely off the table.
I was wondering if you could let me know whether or not in your jurisdiction, fault is a serious consideration....
Thanks!
