Feminists against No-fault Divorce

OK so I had a moving experience this weekend. A friend of mine is going through a divorce. Her husband starting taking steriods about 7 years ago or so and he has been a pig ever since. He sleeps with prostitutes, drinks vodka every night and tries to get her to go play with him in kinky-town Mexico. They have together a four year old and a one year old. She has not worked for many years as she has invested all her efforts into caring for the children. Well, she is being told by the county clerk that the estate will be split fifty-fifty and his total disregard for their marital contract and his responsibilities is not relevant to her rights to the estate. Wait a minute here!! Has not this man violated some civil law?? Is not his total disregard for the legal contract to which she invested her life into a TORT?? Well, I do not know the law in California but I am going to look into it. If you know the law please inform me. As it stand I think no-fault seems like saying marriage is no longer a binding contract. Maybe I will start a new radical feminist group: "Feminists against No-Fault Divorce"!!! I am serious. This woman and the others like her (men included) need some one to advocate for them. Lord only knows Lawyers make pretty piss poor advocates these days!!!

    Wow, it sounds like your friends situation is bad, however I would caution against jumping to conclusions based on one experience, it can blind you to larger trends.

    I found a link that may be of help:

    It seems no fault has problems, but it also has some benifits too. Take a long hard look at its history, I'm sure there good reasons why it was put in place to start with, but now it might be time for a change.
