I’m not sure how it is in other countries, but there are states in the US that are “community property” states, which means that everything is to be split 50-50 in the event of divorce.

sadly, ‘awarding child support’ is not quite the same as actually receiving the promised child support. Many custodial parents find themselves living on the breadline when the one supposedly making the support payments fails to do so. Lets address that!

I think if a spouse is mishandling money allotted for the care and raising of the children, it should be addressed responsibly. I’d rather children become aware of disputes than have insufficient care because of poor handling of money.

I disagree Molly, the money should be split and the parents should share care of the children. That is in the best interest of the children, women have been making mens lives a misery for too long re child custody matters. The children must come first.

The major part of a marriage’s assets should go to the raising and welfare of any children. Whichever spouse winds up making support payments should never accuse the other parent of partying on the money. How do you think that makes the child feel, to be in the middle of that?

I think the title doesn’t suggest closure to me somehow. I think everyone should go for what should be coming to them in a divorce, unless you voluntarily concede something, perhaps in consideration of receiving something else in return that may be more valuable to you than simply splitting things up.

That is true knowledge is power, so it is important to know what you should expect in terms of a settlement.

Having information about how things should work and what you should expect is empowering, but I agree the title is negative and offputting.

The title is negative and that would put me off, but where one partner is being unreasonable or one partner is more vulnerable in some way, it is important not to be crushed by the system and you need to know how things work.

You make a good point, Taggart. The title of the book is pretty negative. I think that if you approach anything with a negative attitude negative will come out of it.
