Women file for 70% of divorces.

Women are the higher earners in 35% of marriages.

96% of alimony recipients are - yes, women.

I'll bet anything that most women initiate divorces because of emotional, verbal, or physical abuse.

I think finances are actually the biggest cause of divorce. Out of all the divorced women I've met only 1 claimed any kind of abuse.

And who rewards them with alimony? Male guilt judges.

I used to think South didn't reward lifetime alimony, like the Southern states mentioned.

I agree, but I think what brings it to a head, is the emotional, verbal and physical abuse.

Well, I suffer no illusions that the hypocrisy will actually register with you but it is notable that you complain bitterly about how misogynistic fathers' rights activists are while at the same time virtually everything you post on marriage or gender relations is wholly anti-man.

Double standards, man. It's okay for females to be misandric and blame relationship failures on men, but not vice versa. Otherwise, females and white knights would see that as hateful, complaining, and whining.

Simply put, nobody wants to hear from the normal man's perspective in regards to marriage and gender relations.

I guess it depends on where you live. At least a third of family law judges in Colorado are female.

Whoa, not TN. I divorced twice in this state. Alimony is only awarded after 10 yrs. of marriage and and many factors are considered before alimony is awarded. TN also leans heavily towards rehabilitative alimony. You make it sound as tho it is an mandated automatic lifetime award. Thats just not true.
