Divorce rates plunged in Kentucky after new 50/50 shared custody law,

You mean women no longer want a divorce if they aren't going to get a windfall of child support ?
Golly, you mean it was all about the money ?
I'm shocked, shocked I say.
And of course the liberal Mainstream Media (Wall Street Journal) says that this new law is putting women & children at risk.
How the hell does a father getting 50 percent custody of his child put the wife & child at risk ?

This first 20 years of marriage are the hardest.

Live in North Dakota the first 4 years. You make it through that shithole you have your self a winner.

I have always said 50/50 shared custody is the baseline and only extreme, provable evidence of harm or neglect can alter the baseline.

So... 50/50 is... not equal?
How can it be good for fathers but put women and children at risk?
If divorce rates plunged in response to this law, I'd say that's a good thing for the children.

You will very likely still have to pay child support even with a 50/50 custody arrangement. Ask me how I know. The State of Louisiana guidelines suck.

It doesn’t put them at risk.
It takes away from the ability to just up and leave and make money from your ex.
Women would actually have to work if they get divorced if they want to live the same level of income

The 50/50 presumption doesn’t stop them from paying child support if one party makes more than the other.
We don’t have the best systems in place for addressing domestic violence here. It’s improved some in the past 5-10 years but not enough. I don’t have issue with the 50/50 presumption but it should’ve included more safeguards against DV.
As a state we’re consistently Top 5 in domestic violence statistics.
ETA: I’d argue to the cost of divorce contributes quite a bit to the drop in it here.

Punishment for breaking a vow
Posted on 9/9/25 at 7:55 am to AlextheBodacious
Louisiana Law is unfair to men as punishment for breaking a vow ?
Women file for nearly 80 percent of divorces.
Sounds more like women are rewarded for breaking their vow since it's rarely the man that is breaking their vow

Kindly, go frick yourself. People grow and change. You grow together or grow apart. Spending life being fricking miserable like my grandparents generation ain’t it. Their skeletons are coming out of the closet thank to 23andMe. Do you think they were any better off because they stayed together? Go touch grass, dork.

If a 50/50 dad has to pay for half already, why does he also have to pay for the other half?

What about when women are the ones committing the domestic violence?
Do men get full custody in those cases?
Or is it only men that commit domestic violence ?

The larger issue is what is considered “proof” of DV here. Judges aren’t consistent from county to county on that. And we don’t have nearly enough personnel in the system to investigate what is reported.
Nowhere did I say it’s only men who commit DV. Or that it shouldn’t be addressed when women commit DV. Men are far less likely to report DV by a woman because of the societal stigma that they’re weak for doing so. Women are more likely to abuse the children in the relationship versus their male partner. And yes, they receive the same consideration here if they provide proof of DV.

They add your salary and her salary together and divide it by two. So if you make more than your spouse, yes you will pay. Just make sure you marry a woman that makes more than you. That’s what I did.

Article overwhelming points out men beating women but that is nowhere near the case in real life. No sane person would agree to 50/50 with a violent partner. Propaganda.
Let's be honest guys. A man will sacrifice his happiness for his family but most women won't. Good for Kentucky to start holding more women accountable.

Or they can’t bear being separated from their children half the time. I bet there are big cohorts of each.

I love it when the media uses the term “but critics say” in their story. Who are the “critics” and why should I give a shite what they have to say?
