For generations women were expected to stay home and keep the house and family. then when hubby decided to go through male menopause or midlife crisis and dump her - she had nothing because he had always controlled everything. Over the years the courts and laws have evolved in an effort to right some of the past wrongs. while I agree that in many cases they do go overboard in punishing men, there is an historical background to why the courts seem to favor the woman.

I'm not saying it is right and that there aren't some women who abuse the system, but by and large that is the exception rather than the rule.

Thanks for making this point.

To me it is just plain common sense.

I have female friends that have been burned by the system, just as I have male friends who have been burned by the system.
