Divorce rates plunged in Kentucky after new 50/50 shared custody law
The article also states that the divorce rate for the rest of the country dropped by 18% over the same period of time. Not quite as much as Kentucky, but a significant decline as well.
I'm not sure the 50/50 law has had as big of an impact as suggested.

I agree with you that the context of what was said is a bit extreme; but I believe the thought comes from the fact that men are typically the ones that work the longer hours, give up hanging out with friends (as often), eat last... and women stereotypically do not work as long and have more time available for family, still do the friends dinners/drinks (more often than men), eat with the kids....
I will also say that this also varies per relationship; but when you factor in the longer hours, less time with the guys, and things of that nature; you get the saying.
FYI, if you are going to use this stat; you would have to include the number of abortions in the equation for the women.

Here is what happens. One parent has standards of discipline. The other parent lets the kid do what he wants, especially if he thinks it will undermine ex wife and get the kid to favor him. Or vice versa. I've seen it in action and it makes for a messed up kid.
I lived this. My oldest is now in college. My ex would have relaxed rules and was really manipulative. He was kind of messed up at times but ultimately turned out to be a mature, polite, thoughtful young man. So I would say he turned out fine.
You know what hasn't turned out fine? His relationship with his mother. He grew up and is old enough now to reflect and see her for all the manipulative crap she pulled. Their relationship is broken, he wants nothing to do with her now.

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.
LOL the first person in the article who criticizes the law is a woman with a hyphenated last name.

We're talking about American women here. Equality feels like oppression to these people because they've been coddled and given every advantage in this country in the last two decades.

So women decide to stay married now? Who would’ve thunk it?
I love the pace at which we can now pump information in to start taking our place back.

I sure she does great work but she also sounds incredibly biased so I don’t really consider her criticism valid nor noteworthy.

No, shared custody doesn't make messed up kids. My kids know they're not riding in the front seat until they get learners permits, but they're in the front seat with my ex all the time, just like their friends. My kids respect my rules when they're with me, and get different rules at their mom's house. And yet different rules at the grandparent's house. They're fine.
It's shitty parents that make messed up kids, but plenty of married couples do that anyway.

Most of the divorced people I know, and I’ve seen 3 go down this year, don’t do the week on, week off. They do 2 weeks on and 2 off.
One couple kept the family house and they each went and got a condo of their own. Parents are the ones doing the shuffling. That seems to be the best arrangement, but few can make that work financially.

When you're in a legitimately abusive situation, it's not uncommon for the abuser to manipulate finances to make it harder for the victim to leave. They will typically work to isolate the victim from potential external supports (a job, family members, friends).
That is a legitimate concern in an abusive situation.
I don’t think it’s legitimate in the context of custody presumptions, though.
1. 50/50 custody means less financial burden for the mother than 100% custody.
2. Income should already be factored into child support arrangements even with split custody.
3. Child support is not alimony. It’s financial support for the child.
When you raise these types of financial concerns in response to a 50/50 custody presumption, you’re tacitly admitting that the affected women view child support as alimony.
I understand the state has a DV issue. I sympathize with that. But ultimately this should be about the child’s welfare first and foremost.
If (as you said) women are actually more likely to abuse children, it raises yet another question: why doesn’t that factor into the equation? If you’re going to base the custody presumption on domestic violence risk for spouses, why wouldn’t you also base it on the risk for the actual children? Obviously not all children are victims of abuse by their parents, but neither are all wives victims of abuse by their husbands.

No. I’m saying the days she has them more than I do (7 days) cost that number. Total annual support divided by 7.
The other 179 days of the year each of us have them we have the same costs, I should only be paying something for the days that are different.
