Divorce outcome is the leading reason alot of people don't want to get married anymore. Especially after they get hit with a divorce, men feel marriage was a rediculous mistake to begin with... and swear to never marry again.
I know one guy, a truly good dude, who loves his ex and kids. He never wanted a divorce, and still bends over backwards for her. He's close to penniless because all of his check goes to alimony and support.
I know another guy who hit a mid-life crisis. He's a middle-aged successful co-owner of a business, and has a good income. He bought a corvette, and got himself a twenty-something trophy wife. After awhile he was suspicious about all these "scrapbook classes" and things she was always going to, so he hired a P.I. who, in short order, produced vivid adult video evidence of the chick's extramarital affairs. When she was confronted, she claimed her plan all along was to take half of everything anyways. Everyone who knows this guy saw it coming.
There seems to be alot of women out there who just want to marry for two years and make off with half or better, of whatever the guy has. But on the other hand, it's not exactly fair that you spend however many years, building a life... and someone gets tossed out in the cold.
Problem is, it seems to me that 100% of the time, the man is tossed out in the cold, one way or another. The courts are severely flawed in this regard.
I have no need for marriage, so I don't worry about it.
