U.S. Birth Rate Reaches Record Low [why have the women given up?] Perhaps it's not just the women. Why would modern men in this country get married let alone have kids when the courts are stacked against them ??
Just another observation.

Why would modern men in this country get married let alone have kids when the courts are stacked against them ?? Since men usually marry women who are younger than they are, and since people are getting married later, sometimes in their late 30s or later, a man in his 30s will usually have a far greater net worth than his wife-to-be, and with 60% divorce rates in places like California, he is likely to lose half of all he has worked so hard for. Marriage shouldn't be about money, but losing half your life's work is a lot to ask for. I'm sure it affects some men's decisions (It seems to come up quite often). If you get married young it isn't an issue as you have nothing to risk.

Well, if men and women both worked a little harder to keep the marraige together (i'm saying both of them, not one or the other) then they wouldn't have to worry about the courts being stacked against them.
