Conservatives push for end of "no fault" divorce

[surada]

That reeks of horrendous assumptions about men. Misandry

If divorce isn't available to women, what do you think it is if not hostage taking?

 

[80zephyr]

The intention is not to force people to stay married if they truly want to divorce. The intention is to raise the bar a little bit, especially when children are involved. Basically, we're saying that when you have children, you should think of their welfare in addition to your own. You're no longer free to indulge just your own wants.

Especially if mama and the kids go on the government dole.

In my experience, most divorces don't happen because of a fight. Most divorces are initiated by a woman who simply wants to change her life.

So be it. Big whoop.

There should be repercussions when you sign a contract. Especially when one party wants out and the other one doesn't.

Child psychologists say that the NUMBER ONE thing kids talk about is how they want their family to be back together.

And that's why holding off on having kids is wise. B b b b b uuuuuut, well we gotta have people having kids.....whatever.

Punishment? Who do you want to punish? Gaslighting, contempt, abuse and infidelity are the main causes of divorce.

Yup, Ozzie and Harriet and the Cleavers

Contrary to the TV view, families were far from idyllic in the 50s
Women were baby factories, wives and children were beaten and abused while society looked the other way, women were trapped in loveless marriages and stayed for the sake of appearance.
Women had no financial options other than their husbands

This sounds like you have a personal problem and are just projecting it onto everyone.

We know married women with children are the happiest. We know they prefer to work less hours and generally don’t get the same fulfillment from long grueling days at work.

It wouldn’t be available to men either

Marriage doesn't have a contract...maybe that should be looked into

 

[JBG]

I guess you got stung in your divorce.

No. Been happily married for 33 years. I am referring to people I know and clients. And I am not a divorce lawyer.

 

[initforme]

Divorce is a huge need to protect. Take away divorce and very few would ever get married.

 

[80zephyr]

Does the Govt force people to stay in jobs they do not like?

If they signed a contract they do.

 

[initforme]

If they signed a contract they do.

There's always a way out of a contract. As there should be.

 

[initforme]

Nobody can dispute all of this leads to putting off marriage until much later in life.

 

[80zephyr]

What responsibility will be shirked by divorcing?
Which commitment diminished?

State mandated adherence to “your commitment”?

Will a wife with children get any state support?

Barefoot and Pregnant

 

[80zephyr]

Since when has a civil marriage ever been a “forever” relationship?
You’re confusing religious beliefs with civil law.

If the marriage license is a contract, please show me where they put the expiration date?

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Barefoot and Pregnant

You’re Pathetic..

 

[80zephyr]

That is a vow. A promise. Not a contract, fool.

The state views the marriage license as a legal agreement. It certainly is a contract.

 

[initforme]

The state views the marriage license as a legal agreement. It certainly is a contract.

And it can be broken.

Marriage is a contract.
