The state has no interest in applying criminal punishments due to breaches of civil contracts except to ensure due process.
I was thinking about the value in marriage counseling as a requirement for divorces where there are children involved.
As has been pointed out by Jerry, divorce has a clear negative impact on the state when children are extant in a relationship.
Edit: To clarify, I wasn't thinking about counseling as a criminal punishment.
