From about 1910 to 1970 Reno, Nevada was the world's divorce capitol. In most states the courts either did not ever grant divorces or had requirements almost impossible to meet. If you were a citizen of Nevada you could get a divorce fairly easily; after 1931 a mere 6 weeks residency in Nevada conferred citizenship. Divorce ranches became a big business, giving women vacation spa accommodations during their 6 week residency. And for women who valued expediency, divorce offices frequently opened directly into wedding chapels.
The issue comes up of whether June or Timothy "takes the blame" in the pretend divorce. Back then there was no such thing as 'no fault divorce'. The courts basically only recognized three grounds for divorce: infidelity; infertility; abusive cruelty.
