The sooner you file, the better. You can go thru the process so you can no longer be held responsible for the other's debts and collect child support if applicable. If you just bury your head in the sand and do nothing you could be held responsible for a lot of debt your STBX runs up. I think women do this because they need the child support.
I think divorce could be almost eliminated if the father routinely got custody. I am assuming he is a good parent.
Per the executive summary:
"Fathers who actively seek custody obtain either primary or joint physical custody over 70% of the time."
Not 94% of the time. Also note that the 70% figure includes both primary and joint custody. In other words, mothers recieve FULL physical custody 30% of the time in contested cases.
Ahh, you found it. So, for women with primary, 30%. For men it's both primary and joint at 70%. I wonder what the break down is for that 70%.
This is a good topic to argue with since I'm writing a study about "Women’s Rights and Divorce Advocacy Information"[
I think it’s because women have higher expectations in marriage than men. According to research, women file divorce twice as often as men.
One reason for divorce is “neglect” which includes emotional and physical abandonment. Many wives complained about their husband’s behavior especially when verbal and physical abuse takes place.
Sometimes, some women are expecting much from their husbands; when the husband doesn’t meet the expectation, a divorce could follow.
I also found a study that could likely explain why divorce is often initiated by females. Here are the findings:
-Women gain less than men from marriage-
-Women lose less than men in divorce-
-Women lose less by precipitating rather than waiting for divorce-

initially hurt and emotional injury but that ripens into action a phone call can get you a 1/2 million settlement at sleazy and breezy law inc. the intention was only to hit back but it becomes revenge.
on a personal note me being one of many, yep she filed. 2 rough jobs for 3 1/2 years to pay for my divorce, scrubbed toilets at night hostile high stress day job.
she went thru her settlement like a buzz saw. you will often read on CDF that women are worse off 5 years later, but that is because the spending that caused the divorce did not go away it just moved out.
If the shoe was predominately on the other genders foot they'd probably be about 1000 variations of threads to date complaining about "how unfair" it is for them to $hell out.
The whole thing is quite to say the least.
Then they question why I would never either get married, co-habit nor have any offspring with them?
Generally speaking (don't mean all) Human Beings are supposedly the most intelligent form of life on earth, doesn't seem like it a good part of the time does it?
like so many CDF threads on marriage failure this is very interesting. as the pages of posts mount,
with a few beautiful exceptions, women hold themselves utterly blameless in and after the marriage.
no matter the course of events he made me do it. one poster said all divorce was caused by male cheating. if that were so we would certainly see it in the stats but we dont.
marriage has ceased to be a partnership with mutual obligations. that is was it was 50 years ago. they were imperfect people (not 100% compatible) they were not always happy people, but it worked. they had obligations they understood them and they did them. somehow somewhere along the road we got rid of that.

If you are a woman, why would you not want a divorce? You gain a house, alimony, money you did not earn and usually get to keep the kids. Plus unload a bunch of debt.
