Then what's the sense...this is what they will do.
“I think if you really want to lessen the divorce rate, there’s better things the legislature can do, such as work against poverty, increase jobs,” Schilling said.
Idiot. How many thousands of studies - since No Fault was enacted - do you need to see before you know that NFD INCREASES poverty for parents and for their children?
No they won’t... It’s not “they”, the one who moves out is at fault and as the at fault party won’t get their share of the loot. Since it is almost always the woman who initiates the no-fault, often with the expectation of getting the loot, I think this would have a dramatic effect on the divorce rate.
This is a Church issue. The last thing we need are government bureaucrats telling folks who they have to spend the rest of their lives with.
Shhesh
The sense comes into play as these lawmakers realize that anything and everything they can do to slow down the breakup of the family (And America) is all good.
Sounds like governmental micromanagement of people’s lives.
Get government out of the marriage business.
bitter, eh?
You should educate yourself on the fundamentals before spouting off with a stupid remark like that.
Marriage is the backbone to any great society. There must be laws to promote marriages between a man and a woman. And laws which punish those who seek to destroy marriage and society.
Unfortunately liberals have found power in destroying the family, replacing the father with a welfare check, and enslaving blacks and minorities with welfare benefits as they enhance divorce laws and even promote queer marriages.
This is way much more than a Church issue.
it involves tax money and property and health care etc....its a govt issue to be sure, and it would be best for the govt....that would be we the taxpayers.....for families to stay intact....but I don’t know how a govt can force that on anyone....
The first no-fault divorce law in the U.S. was signed by that noted Communist, Governor Ronald Reagan.
Not just the financial settlement and property division. Not just custody. Both parents would have to agree<> to the divorce itself.
That's "no-fault".
Who was also divorced.
Everyone makes mistakes.
IIRC he also was on one time leader of the AFLCIO!
Even the Great Ronaldo made a few major errors. Amnestry for illegal immigrants springs to mind for one.
He was a great and a good man, but he was a man like any other and prone to error.
Government screws up much/almost all of what it controls.
Get government out of the marriage business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, It’s LIBERALS that screw up..... We need to get LIBERALS out of the marriage business.
Conservatives know that marriage is a fundamental building block to the success of a nation.
Liberals know that tearing down marriage only serves the State.
the family is the foundation of not only this nation but all of civilization. Legislation will not fix our families...only the reinstitution of Judeo-Christian values can bring back the nuclear family which has been purposefully and systematically attacked and brought close to destruction.
If our nation will turn back to God the health of America’s families will be restored. It is the only way.
Then why did the couple go down to the court house to file for a marriage license in the first place?
If the government is going to give benefits to certain people who engage in a certain behavior, they should have a say in the termination of that behavior.
Nobody forced the couple to apply for a marriage license.
Nobody forced them to file as a married couple on their taxes.
Nobody forced one spouse to accept benefits earned by the other spouse.
These were things that the government offered to them in exchange for being married because the government has an interest in parents raising children together.
