Do you think the women are more prone to seek divorce then men because divorce and family courts are

Question

more biased towards women. In my experience men are more willing to work on a marriage then women because they know in a divorce they will come up on the short end of the stick. I'm talking in a divorce with no abuse of any kind, no cheating etc.

Answer 1

no. i think it goes the same for both husband and wife. husband can get another woman, freed from more naggings thing

Answer 2

Of course. I today's courts the woman wins and the man loses in most cases. There are significant financial rewards and other benefits for women who file a court motion.

Answer 3

i guess, but if you're not happy and yo don't love that person anymore, why should you be obligated to stay with that person??

Answer 4

All the more reason for feminism, really.  As more women become millionaires, favourable divorce settlements for men will rise, which they are doing.  

Not that I necessarily believe men know they will always come up on the short end of the stick - hate to say it, but most men I know never check their credit card statements from one month to the next and I know many cases where their female partners had to wade in and sort it all out.  Can't imagine they would get much money on divorce.  

I think men are more willing to work on relationships because they are more romantic, at heart, as husbands are more likely to say that their wife is their best friend, than vice versa, so I think the prospect of divorce comes as more of a shock to them .

Answer 5

No.  Unless there is a court order lots of men don't feel its necessary to help support their children- that's why a lot of women file for divorce after a separation.    

Answer 6

You are absolutly right ;womans ; knows they will win big time in a divorce and for those who think I am a man ; well no I am a woman  

Answer 7

women dont have to bear their nusance any more

Answer 8

Since you're going by personal experience only (no facts or figures) I made more money than my ex-husband and was the one who wanted to work on the marriage. After it looked hopeless-I sought divorce even though I lost a bunch of money. We also had no kids. Your generalization isn't accurate today as there are quite a few women who make more money than their spouses; have no kids; and do work on their marriages. Also there are men who do initiate divorces and don't work on their marriages.

Based on my personal experiences only:

I sought a divorce because I realized I would be much happier alone than stuck in a miserable marriage.I believe my ex-husband was miserable before and after our divorce. According to most surveys I've seen for the last few years: single guys are the most unhappy out of the following groups: single men; single women; married women; and married men.      

Answer 9

NO I BELIEVE IN ANY MARRIAGE IT GOES BOTH WAY. IF SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN THE MARRIAGE THEY KNOW THAT DIVORCE IS THE EASY WAY OUT NO MATTER IT YOU ARE A MAN OR A WOMAN.

Answer 10

Divorce and family courts are biased towards women with children and in custody issues.  I will not argue that because I have watched it happen in the system for years and though it is somewhat better, it is not "fixed" yet.  

Women, in my experience, are less likely to want a divorce and will do a lot to save their marriage.  I have not found a lot of men, though there are some, who will actively seek marriage counseling or other remedies to save their marriage.

Often there is someone else involved, either with the woman or man, and that changes the dynamics of the whole divorce picture on both sides.

Answer 11

I have never known a divorced couple that didn't have any problems in their marriage and the women just wanted to gain a financial edge.  After all isn't it easier to take his money when you have access to his account?
