There is no need for this in the US because the legal system here fully supports no fault divorces.

Actually the US has 50 legal systems for divorce - one for each state.
That said the last state to support no fault divorces was New York in 2010, so you're right. (Though a no fault divorce option wasn't there for me when I was considering one in 2002.)

"No fault" is useless when there are children.
The US has people who hire killers to murder their spouse in order to obtain custody of their children.

Adultery doesn't affect custody battles in the US (at least in the vast majority of states). There is no benefit in getting your spouse to cheat on someone.

Not the vast majority of states.
The list isWisconsin, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Nebraska, Montana, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Hawaii, Florida, Colorado and California. In other states there are no fault divorces available, but you can also file a divorce based on various faults, including adultery.
