If children have that natural right, then why does the State allow their parents to divorce, and leave the children without one or the other?
States do not have to allow divorce- there is no 'right' to divorce'.
The reality is that children have many rights- but they don't have a right to a mother and father.
The state grants divorce reluctantly, but only in cases where the fighting is detrimental to the kids. You have asked this question before and are engaging in argumentative roundabout when I answered you before. You knew the answer to your question before you asked it. But thanks for the opportunity to provide it again..
In both mother/father marriage (which the state happily grants on behalf of children's best interests) and divorce (which the state reluctantly and with a heavy heart grants on behalf of children's best interests) the focus in both cases is on the children and not the adults. Don't believe me? Go to a family court and see who gets the bulk of the discussion in front of the judge..
