A lot more women would get and stay married if getting married and staying married was the only way to access the man’s cash.
Yes, but the other side of that coin is that we must also get rid of “no fault” divorce laws. Both sides have to have skin in the game, and not be able to just cut and run from their obligations without a valid reason.
That doesn’t mean people who no longer get along have to live in the same house forever, it just means their marital obligations wouldn’t cease if they decide they don’t want to be together anymore, unless one of them can claim a valid breach of the marriage contract.
In divorce, men should have the choice of paying child support or accepting full custody.
