You really think a college educated divorcer is more likely to have a spouse on drugs/alcohol than someone with HS degree or less? You really think a high earning college educated college male is going to abandon the family and be forced to pay even more alimony and child support than otherwise? While the first filer is of course not always at fault, the 90% stat vs the rest of the country as as whole (which look be closer to 50/50 m:f ratio) is eye-opening.

Yes. First of all, women in general aren't looking to trade down, so a man living from paycheck to paycheck isn't that interesting to them. Cheating also requires disposable income, romancing a new squeeze costs money, so do prostitutes.Men with money and education are also more attractive to predatory young women. Lastly, look at all the well known Don Juans, they are not tradesmen are they?

Also, it's what the research says:

Likewise, men’s education level is also positively linked to their odds of cheating.

When men are thinking with their little head, they generally aren't thinking about the financial ramifications. That happens once they get caught.

I think that the 90% stat regarding college educated females is more reflective of the fact that they are more likely to have independent income with which to support themselves and hire a lawyer than their lesser educated sisters and again, who files first has nothing to do with fault in the no fault divorce world.
