“And probably half of the 31% of those divorces that the men initiated was probably the result of the women being a total bitch until the men cry uncle and divorces her like she secretly wanted, but doesn’t want to be the initiator, and then puts on a act like “wow I never saw it coming” innocent act.”
Exactly. From my experience, when a man comes to me to take his case and file for divorce for him, he is usually down to his last nickel, battling substance abuse from the marriage, or is getting ready to check himself into a mental health facility.
I had a case where a woman had committed three verified instances of adultery and run up 125k in unsecured credit card debt behind the husband’s back.
She got half of everything, he had to pay half of the credit card, and she got alimony. The kicker, alimony is supposed to end once she remarried or cohabited. She did neither. She simply partied like a college freshman and had a kid out of wedlock.
Beware of marriage young men.
You’ve put your finger on my biggest problem with no-fault divorce law. People who commit horrible transgressions not only don’t pay a penalty for them, financially they sometimes are rewarded.
If we want to support the institution of marriage in this county we’ve got to start holding people to account.
