The result of “no fault” divorces; don’t even need a reason as you stated. Try being on the opposite spectrum, the “husband” who still has the kids, at home and has to pay out exuberant “spousal support” for a minimum of two years before your neck goes on the chopping block in “family court”. It is perverse.
It happened to me in 1997. I lost all respect for our country that day. Well, not just that day. I sat through a lot of family court to see how it worked. Ever since then I feel a little like the US is kinda like the Soviet Union in the 1960’s. Our government is dangerous to individuals.
