I can't say but I suspect you haven't visited most divorce courts, Kathy. <VBG>
Oddly it seems the womens' rights movement has greatly worsened the position
of women in divorce court. Greatly superior finances more likely in the
hands of the husband would surely allow the husband in many cases to
overcome the natural advantage that women still possess IMO. That would be
the exception rather than the rule. If anyone has any statistics to refute
that I would be interested in hearing them and would be quite frankly shocked.
"Winning" means nothing unless we can figure out what that means. The only
good guide that cuts across all lines IMO is who gets the kids. Though
idiot judges who think Solomon really meant to split the kid up now often
award split custody rather than make a hard decision, I would bet that women
get the kids in the great majority of the cases where custody is contested.
And after all aren't the children the most prized part of marriage?
What is vanishing is alimony. That is often very disadvantageous to women
who have often had less education and work experience and thus less earning
power. In many cases the wife's earnings had helped secure the husband's
education and position.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Unfortunately in this brave new world,
women at least as much men devalue the worth of a housewife. Parasite is a
common appelation.
