Australia Considering "Divorce Tax"

	posted by Scott on Sunday August 26, @11:32AM from the divorce dept.
	Robert Cunningham wrote in about a proposed tax in Australia for the "guilty party" in a divorce, and brought up some interesting points: "A "Divorce tax on the guilty party" is a retrograde step! Why increase suffering? Rather it is helpful to try to reduce the suffering of those who are divorcing, both men and women. Marriage is extremely important, especially when children are involved!

Michael Green has a web-site at fathersafterdivorce.com You can send him an email, via the web site."
