I'm not saying it is right and that there aren't some women who abuse the system, but by and large that is the exception rather than the rule.

If the laws and courts were not so biased against men and in favor of women, women wouldn't be the one's filing for divorce in 2/3 of the cases. I used to work for a few divorce lawyers. I've seen what happens, to whom it happens, and how often if happens. I've seen judges tell men that they are not going to get custody of their kids because they are men. But no one cares until it happens to them.

The birth rate in this country isn't dropping for no reason at all. Every year more men wake up to the fact that getting married and starting a family is to risky. I'm just glad I have a daughter, because she will never be subjected to the double standards and outright hostility that men are by the system.

I didn't say the system wasn't biased, and as you quoted me - I'm not saying it is right.

I never really got into it, but I have worked for and with several family law attorneys and much of what you say is true.

As I have said I have seen both male and female friends of mine tken to the cleaners when getting divorced. I was fotunate that when I divorced there were no children involved.

But no one cares until it happens to them.

That pretty much sums up just about everything in life, doesn't it???
