'These Boots are Made for Walking': Why Most Divorce Filers are Women

Abstract: Because of the financial and social hardship faced after divorce, most people assume that generally husbands have instigated divorce since the introduction of no-fault divorce. Yet women file for divorce and are often the instigators of separation, despite a deep attachment to their children and the evidence that many divorces harm children. Furthermore, divorced women in large numbers reveal that they are happier than they were while married. They report relief and certainty that they were right in leaving their marriages. This fundamental puzzle suggests that the incentives to divorce require a reexamination, and that the forces affecting the net benefits from marriage may be quite complicated, and perhaps asymmetric between men and women. This paper considers women's filing as rational behavior, based on spouses' relative power in the marriage, their opportunities following divorce, and their anticipation of custody. |

LOVE that song! I've been singing it all evening! : )
well said. Thanks Rose of Sharn.
Jessica did a good job on the video but it still doesn't beat the original with Nancy. I think maybe last year I saw Nancy do it on the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. She still has it! :P
Just speaking from my heart. :)
Just casually observing, narby, but that was an unfair and unwarranted slam. She, Hi Heels, should leave a man who can't keep his word, his promise, his vow. The Bible even backs her on that.
Yep. Well said. It was not that I cared so much about his actions, it was that I was representing what she would BE. So, she would BE a woman who would put up with slut puppy actions and drugs and alcohol? Nope. Gotta go. And so now she knows. The bottle gets him, you gotta go. Take the kids. Get a job (I always HAD a job). But the most important lesson is this: DONT MARRY YOUR DAD DONT BE ABUSED and YOU ARE GREAT no matter whether you dad thinks so or not.
He came around. Read on, FRiend. Thanks.
Here's the original....

"KANSAS? Holy Creepos, I live in Kullifornia! Every guy I meet is full of complications or is gay. This is not good..........."
Mind you im 18, alot of younger people are naturally liberal, and being from the city doesnt help that.
Isn't that SAD? I believe it too! Like the man said, you gotta have license to own a dog, but anyone can have a child.

...because they want to.
If alcohol is outlawer only outlaws will have alcohol...and I don't want to be forced into a criminal lifestyle.
Now, see? You have so much work to do to turn your generation around. When I worked the Nixon campaign I thought I was the only conservative in the world. There was no internet. There was no FRee Republic. You're lucky. You've found people of like mind. Even now in Kullifornia I feel pretty out of place. God, Country, Family just seem so foreign to everyone I know. They are all so superficial. My daughter is uncomfortable at her school because she's a good Christian girl. I'm working to send her to a Christian college so she doesn't feel out of place and I keep telling her, "hang in there. Not everyone dances in their thong and talks rap". Poor kid.
Sounds like your fighting an uphill battle, well being in california and trying to raise some one with common sense but you seem to be doing a very fine job of it.
Thank you. Somedays I feel like that guy holding the earth on his shoulders.
The World...29 Million Libs...i probably couldnt tell the diffrence :)
And in the immortal words of Lewis Grizzard...
"Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and give her a house..."
You DONT LIKE me. I swear you hate my guts.
