New York has the dubious distinction of having a divorce system based on proving "fault"--that one spouse wronged another. The acrimony of the Brinkley trial laid bare some of the litigiousness that fills our divorce courts. The Opinion section invites readers to share their thoughts on New York's divorce system in our forum, Splitsville, New York.

If you (or your parents) have been through divorce in New York, we encourage you to share your own personal experiences and discuss ideas for reforms with some experts in the field:

Did the legal system hurt or help the process?

Do you think a "no-fault" system would lead to a fairer settlement?

What was the impact on your family dynamics and parent-child relationships?

How can divorcing parents, inside and outside the legal system, ensure that their children's privacy and sensitivity is respected?
