The REAL problem with unilateral no-fault divorce

Marcia Pappas, head of New York's chapter of the National Organization of Women points to the research that unilateral divorce reduces women's economic well-being. A study in Connecticut, she writes, showed that under unilateral no-fault divorce laws, only 37 percent of women were awarded the marital home, compared with 82 percent under fault divorce.

Hogwash! That flies in the face of the primary fact that women initiate as high as divorce 98% of the time in some jurisdictions, win custody, child support, spousal support and exclusive possession of the home and contents, plus legal costs. Figures like those from Ms. Pappas come from the long ago discredited study "The Divorce Revolution" and the days when the Bradley Amendment was passed in the United States with such unreliable statistics.

No fault divorce is a very bad thing for children - it removes the incentive to behave, live up to marriage vows, make for stable family units, and has spawned the industrialization of divorce, the harvesting of children's happiness for profit by the minions of the "EVIL FAMILY LAW EMPIRE".
