The primary misson of divorce courts is the transfer of wealth from males to females.

"The primary misson of divorce courts is the transfer of wealth from males to females."

Same primary reason as marriage.

The primary mission of marriage is to, as much as is possible, assure males the children in their home are their own. Men who believe the children in their home are their own care about the future. Men who care about the future do things like build cities and roads and computers. Contemporary divorce courts are entirely political, their primary mission is the transfer of wealth.

Why There Are So Many Women in the Fathers' Movement
Source: CNSNews.com; Published: June 21, 2002;
Author: Glenn Sacks and Dianna Thompson

" Three and a half decades after the rise of the feminist movement, American gender politics have begun to come full circle.

The feminist movement has always been aided by sympathetic men, and American women would never have come so far so fast without their support. While women still face many problems, those problems have received a fair and often extensive public hearing.

Today, men's issues--principally fathers' issues--are where many of our nation's biggest gender inequities lie. And just as many men helped the women's movement, many women are stepping forward to help fathers, forming groups like Moms for Dads and the Second Wives Crusade. Today women make up half of the membership of the fathers' movement. ...."

I don't disagree.

I'm glad you added the "as much as is possible"

My screen name refers to the breakdown of what holds us together. Marriage is a major civilizing factor. Young men today are avoiding marriage because they are coming to understand what a losing proposition it has become due to the political orientation and motivation of contemporary divorce courts. We do, indeed, rush to chaos.

Excellent post and very true.

My ex and I made equivalent salaries but she got the kids and support. As far as lifestyle's, hers didn't change but mine sure did!

Dad's and custody, in the courts, is an even bigger joke.

In large part, you are correct. But there is hope out there. After my divorce, my ex had my son for about 3 years. She was not a hooker or doing drugs, but she was doing things that led to a tumultuous life for him. So I took her to court. Just 2 years ago, I got full custody of my now 10 year old son. My son was just better off with me. I was able to provide the more stable home. The judge (believe it or not, he was a Democrat!!!!!) basically gave me everything I sued for.

The young men today are figuring out that entering into a legal agreement that only they have to abide with is a losing proposition. "Religion and the family must be destroyed." The bad guys are winning on this front.
