Baskerville said, "Overwhelmingly that´s true. And what´s even more shocking is that the parent that divorces is almost always the parent who expects to get custody of the children. A study by the University of Iowa found that the expectation of getting the children was the single most important factor in deciding who files for divorce."
The largest single contributor to post-WW2 increasing divorce rates is that federal and state taxation requirements are proportional to the divorce rates; that is, the American government has over-taxed the American family not just into slavery but into family fragmentation.
The increasing appetite of the Government taxation spirit will not stop until all citizens go to work paying the government not just 55% of their gross earnings in the form of taxes (as of today) but when all citizens pay about 90%.
The last 10% can be used to pay your legal expenses over your family breakup or perhaps to pay your legal expenses fighting for your constitutional rights. The government could care less.
