'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. |

Amen. Dontcha just wanna strangle Hillary Clintoon?
LOL let me know when he gives you the house and we'll throw a party! : )
I think we'd better pack a real big lunch! HAHAHahhhaaa.. You're great. Thanks.
: D
You wouldnt beileve how many here speak about hillary as she could do no wrong...ok your from california I repeal that statement. I think witches need to be burned at the stake ;)
Most men are more tolerant of a bad marriage than women. They have other outlets, in work, and play, and because they are better at compartmentalization. That is the reason.
Well I'm outa here..........I'm nearly burning the midnight oil! G'night all!
but it's 85 years old and in rural SC.

The taxes are due in November.
I was counting on the fact you love CA.
I guess I'll have to add you to the long, but distinguished, list of women I have disappointed.
Wow! I just have to compliment you. You are really, really good at generalization. So good, in fact, that I'm going to suggest to Merriam-Webster that 'narby' is a synonym for 'generalize'.
You seem to be the rare exception these days! But I'm glad to know there are women who still think that way. And no it is not demeaning to do those things. Like I said it is all about choices. Once one makes a choice, so mote it be! It is all the caterwalling after a bad choice is made and the casting of blame that gets me.
PS: Any jobs?
Ummmmm, I'm simple and straight...
My ex was committed. It wasn't until well after we were married that I found out not all that time she'd spent in mental institutions was as a staff member...
FOFLOL!
Not all of them...
funkle?
BTTT! ...good post. All who are interested should download the document and read it.
As for the ugly thread after your good post, we can see that true conservatism is dead in both political parties. Even our congressmen have rebelled against our Constitution (re. the VAWA, Child Support Act and other treasonous violations) to please a horde of loose feminists and their immoral sugar daddies. Our country and markets have become a house of prostitution. I have no respect at all for our "elite" as they continue to destroy families.
Fathers: Drop the Vote in 2008! Be nonpolitical!
