Hi WhyUs, We also have no alimony here (indiana), so the A doesn't really change anything - possibly if pushed, there could be some leverage with if there were custody issues or arguments.
It is my understanding, from my L, this was all implemented to streamline the D process, alleviate a lot of fighting especially when custody is involved (no need for proof, investigations, arguments about who was wrong), and to make the process less costly. I guess it just doesn't matter.
Sadly it seems to be very easy to D here.
