>>This country is not a theocracy..<<

So, why do you need a marriage license to get married - a religious observation?

In all honesty, with that post I was trying to demonstrate with the absurdity of our current system with the absurd.

I learned, through personal experience at the end of the nineties, that a normal adult male, in the US, can marry a woman, sire kids with her, be a good and faithful husband, and suddenly find his wife has changed and is not “happy” and uses the government to remove him from his home, his children, and most of his money for the entire prime of his life.

Completely legally and with the endorsement of the state.

And if he should lose his source of income or any other way not pay he can go to prison in a country that claims to not have a debtor’s prison.

He is essentially made a slave to the state and his ex is what empowers the state.

I’m out of that mess and have been for many years. My ordeal didn’t start until my youngest was 10. I even got custody of my youngest after a few years. But I empathise with the young guys this happens to who have single digit aged kids.

It is a monstrosity that such a thing can be acceptable in a “civilized” culture. People change - especially women. In our current culture, only a fool would marry a young woman. I am absolutely dead serious here.

And I have four daughters - two of which are in one of my bands.

Family court taught me to hate the US governmental system. It has only gotten worse.
