I can promise you that had my late father ever laid a hand on my 85 year old mother she would have killed him without a thought. There is a term for women who aren't willing to do that, "abused".
Most women of her generation and mine would no more accept being "coerced" than I would. If you are not ready to kill the person who tries to coerce you, you aren't human, just a future slave.
The simple fact that you brought this up as an example of the "good old days" though needing updating and "Spousal Equality" demonstrates that you have so little understanding of a real relationship that nothing you say is of value.
Lawyers made huge fees on divorces in the old days, now most divorces hardly pay enough to keep the lights on. I am sure you would just looooove to see at fault divorce return. You are just another cheap jack lawyer trolling for business.

Well, I'm not a lawyer, and I would love to see fault divorce return. Because no fault divorce has cost me over $20,000, jail time, and the opportunity to spend time with my five year old son. You see, adultery and kidnapping are winked at in no-fault divorce. You, sir/madam (I suspect the latter) are clueless.
