Divorce law reform needs to take better care of the wife and kids, not worse.

You must be joking. Divorce law is heavily weighted toward the wife and kids. This legal change is ispecifically about alimony, and DOES NOT affect child support, so let's consider it:

If the woman decides to leave - she gets alimony.

If the man decides to leave - he pays alimony. (In the general case)

What we REALLY need is marriages that last - but we explicitly DO NOT need court ordered money transfers in perpetuity from one party to the other - in either direction - for the dissolution of marriage.

Your post is hyperbolic and emotional. It depends on the reader not thinking in order for the reader to agree with your position. Such methods of argument are beneath us, as thinking conservatives.

You are wrong. Perhaps custody is primarily to the wife....guess why....she has been the primary care giver while husband has been the primary income earner. Do the husbands want to stay home with the children and make do with what the market is willing to pay the wife? Usually not. And usually, the husbands wouldn’t even know where to start, plus Trixie LaRue isn’t interested in caring for the children, she is interested in a meal ticket. So, the wives are usually stepping up to the plate to finish caring for the children and the husbands are off with Trixie, who, being an adulteress wouldn’t be a good influence on the children anyway.
