As a divorced guy, I can say you are completely correct. They call the shots and walk away with a second income, tax free, to boot. It’s just amazing how stupid men are before they get married

Interesting.....from a divorced and then remarried (23 yrs)woman I can honestly say that your remark shows sexism. Woman today have just as much to lose in a divorce, if not more. A lot of women earn more and contribute more to the marriage than the men involved. I have seen this happen many times before. It's not unusual for a woman to have to pay out the nose to get out of a marriage.

While I appreciate your opinion and situation, overall the Courts are decidely “sexist” in their decisions, try Googling “child support statistics” and “child custody statistics”; The vast majority of men lose their children or have joint custody and pay support (tax-free)regardless of the circumstances

They have much less to lose because the cards are not stacked against them. I personally know of 3 situations where the woman gave up full custody of her kids but is NOT paying child support to the man. Has she been hauled off to jail? NOPE. I have another friend who lost his job and was thrown in jail when he missed his support payments. There is no way it can be argued that women have more to lose or are somehow getting short changed by the system, it is clearly the other way around.
