1. Eliminate no-fault divorce. Desertion makes you lose the house, other property, and the kids.

2. Make allegations of domestic violence without ironclad proof inadmissable.

3. Tie child support to visitation. No visitation, no support.

4. Eliminate the presumption that the mother should be the custodial parent.

No-fault divorce eliminates hate-filled, bitter, protracted litigation where divorce lawyers air the dirty laundry of the spouses (and in the process make themselves rich).

For this reason, I like no-fault divorce.

But adultery should not go unpunished. The problem is, if an adulterer were to face a less-than-favorable divorce settlement, is (s)he entitled to raise, as a defense, the spouse's unwillingness to satisfy his/her need for intimacy?

If so, we are back to square one, with dirty laundry being aired in public divorce proceedings. We can imagine the testimony:

- You cheated on your wife, isn't that correct?

- Yes, but she was not satisfying me. I wanted it 4 times a week, and she only gave it to me once, and although I love this position, she always wanted to do it that way.

(wife interjecting):
- It's not true. At least once a month I would let him do it how he wanted, although I hated it. Anyway, why should I care about satisfying him, when he never satisfied me. He always finished too fast and then went straight to sleep.

(husband, turning red):
- That's not true! I can last 20 minutes.

(wife, laughing bitterly):
- 20 minutes? Pleeeeeze! The best you could ever do was 20 seconds. Plus, don't you know how to use your tongue?

(husband, yelling):
- I would use my tongue if you bathed more often you skanky *&^$$@!

(judge, banging his gavel):
- Order in the court! Silence!!!!

Right on. All that.
