Do you honestly think things would go more smoothly, or that people (in most cases the wives) would be better off if they didn't have some resource to ensure that they receive their fair share of shared assets?
i've seen too many examples of divorce for personal gain, i just think that the current system needs a serious retune.

kids do really change everything.

but that sex change case is alimony, NOT child support.

this isn't a <click> shut off the legal system solution. but come on, do you really believe that a 4 year marriage not involving kids should reward the wife with support for the rest of her life?
