divorce

the divorce rate in western world is rising [as well as marrage] does any one think the financial rewards gained [mostly by women] are too generous. As not only a settlement on finances at moment of the marrage decree disolved, but on future, ie money to be paid each month/week until such time, so if you are the recipiant of this why would you live with someone when they just need to live apart and get money for nothing.

I think any payments after a marriage should be voluntary. Government should make sure that children get what they need. It's good if the parent not raising the children supports their children, but they should not be forced to do so.

i was taking children out of the equation, as i belive the person who raises the child needs suport, but the system at present means if one person worked and the other looked after the home/family, and that person decided to live without the partner they claim financial reward not just on earnings up to the divorce, but on future earnings of the other. Yet they do not have to do anything for it
say you worked for a company and then got fired, would you expect that company to pay you from then on.

I think that if there are no children in the picture, there is absolutely no reason for any financial compensation under any circumstance.

but that is not the case, unsure about your laws, but in uk, that is what the law states

The one wanting the divorce is damaging the one who does not. One can't get around the fact that divorce brings damage.

I'd say that if there is a divorce without children, each person should simply go his or her seperate way, no financial links. Property split in half.

If there are children, then each has a chance to claim the child. If one doesn't want the children, then the one that doesn't want the children pays child support. If both want the children, then they split the time with the children, thereby splitting the cost for raising the children.

Simple, easy and done with. As it stands today, divorce definitely favors women. Men are still viewed as a woman's meal ticket.

have you ever considered domestic violence as a reason why one would want a divorce?

Property split in half

even if the property belonged to only one of the two in the first place? that doesn't seem fair at all.[/b]

Domestic violence? Have the person put in jail. Special procedures for divorcing someone who is in jail. No rights for those in jail.

I am of the belief that a marriage means that two become one. What each had seperately before the marriage becomes communal property after.
