Hello. I am just wondering what Pard thinks of trying to end no-fault divorce. I briefly searched online and found mostly left-wing comments. Anyway, I kind of wonder about the right's rationale behind it. Like why do they want to end it. And also what you personally think of this idea.
Thanks.
Marriage only makes sense if you plan to have kids. Some men/women think the festivity is some kind of party. The effort to organize and celebrate a marriage (very expensive and time consuming) is meant to prove the commitment of the newlyweds towards their relationship, so when a kid is present they won't let it grow up alone . Most suicidal, depressive, under achieving or otherwise problematic kids are kids from single households. So again, if you don't plan to have kids, don't marry.
It just happens that sometimes things don't work out even though both partners were committed. In that case, the woman who had a child and had to stay with the child until it became able to go to preschool should always be compensated with alimony until she can fully stand on her feet again. A dad has always have to pay for the child no matter what. Our modern rules are based on the implicit rulings of the past of what a family meant.
Modern reforms should be:
1. If the child is from other person than the dad (DNA) the man should be free from paying alimony (feminists are really against the ruling, currently, a DNA test isn't valid in front of the court if the mother doesn't give permission for the test)
2. Without a child, paying alimony to ex-wife should be reduced to a bare minimum to keep her afloat and not giving her half of your possession. Marrying someone isn't an achievement to be compensated for.
