When Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form confirmed their separation after more than three years of marriage, the tone of their announcement stood out. Reports shared that the decision was made with respect, care, and a shared commitment to co-parenting. There was no blame, no accusations, and no public unraveling of their private lives. Instead, there was an acknowledgment that the relationship had run its course and that they intended to move forward with privacy and maturity.
Their approach reflects a growing trend among couples who choose to separate with minimal conflict, using the no-fault divorce process to support a more peaceful transition.
The Role of No-Fault Divorce in Today’s Family Law Cases
No-fault divorce is built on the idea that marriages sometimes end because the relationship has changed over time. Instead of proving wrongdoing, couples can cite irreconcilable differences or an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage as the reason for separating. This removes the pressure to assign fault, which often helps lower emotional tension.
This framework aligns with situations like Daddario and Form’s, where the end of the marriage seems to stem from shifting priorities, demanding work schedules, and the natural evolution of two individuals. No single event defined their separation. Rather, life circumstances gradually steered them in different directions. No-fault divorce acknowledges these realities and gives couples a way to separate without increasing emotional strain.
Why Many Couples Choose No-Fault Divorce
No-fault divorce appeals to many families because it:
- Reduces conflict by removing the need to assign blame
- Simplifies the legal process and helps spouses focus on solutions
- Encourages cooperation, especially when children are involved
- Protects privacy since personal details do not need to be argued in court
- Supports emotional healing and helps spouses move forward with clarity
For high-profile families like Daddario’s, minimizing public conflict protects the emotional well-being of everyone involved, including their young son. This same approach also appeals to everyday families who want to avoid adversarial legal battles and prefer a calmer route forward.
How the Uncontested Divorce Process Works Legally
Once a couple states that their marriage has irretrievably broken down, the court moves on to the practical issues that must be resolved. These often include:
- Property division. Marital assets and debts are divided in a way that is fair, considering contributions, financial needs, and the length of the marriage.
- Child custody and parenting time. Courts prioritize the best interests of the child, including stability, emotional needs, and parental involvement.
- Child and spousal support. Support orders may be established based on income, earning capacity, and household needs.
Although litigation is an option, many couples choose negotiation or mediation. These approaches allow spouses to build agreements that fit their needs while reducing stress and cost.
Recognizing When a Marriage Has Run Its Course and What Comes Next
Most marriages end because of gradual life changes rather than a single event. Daddario’s story mirrors what many couples experience. The relationship no longer fits, even when both spouses still care about each other’s well-being.
No-fault divorce recognizes this. It allows people to acknowledge the end of their marriage without escalating conflict. It also provides space for healthier communication, more thoughtful decision-making, and smoother transitions. For couples with children, it supports consistency and allows parents to keep the focus on stability and cooperation.
