But there are definitely serious problems with this country's divorce courts and most of those problems have to do with extreme prejudices against men.

And what is interesting about that is, most of the judges are men. A guy I work with was able to get custody partly because he got a woman lawyer which he said somehow "looks" better, apparently the judges tend to have too much sympathy if it looks like it's 2 men against a woman. Custody laws should be changed so that both have equal claims to custody to start with, if women weren't guaranteed that outcome, they'd be less likely to divorce for insignificant reasons and find themselves paying child support and trying to have visitation rights.

Oh, please! What might be insignificant to you might be a woman who couldn't take a husband's porn addiction, anymore. Or how about my friend's problem? She's a golf widow. He's on the golf course every free moment he gets. She stays with him for the kids, but if she were a lesser woman, I wouldn't blame her for leaving.

Women deserve their share of the blame.....but you know......this guy would be clueless if his wife picked up and left. I'm sure he'd be one of the guys talking about women who leave for insignificant reasons. Unhappy. Irreconcilable differences. :(
