D.I.V.O.R.C.E. spells disaster for too many dads going through the big break-up

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ever conscious to keep my column even-handed, this week I want to speak out on behalf of men, and this week’s topic is inspired by a dear male friend of mine currently going through a divorce, coping with the typical issues of having to pay maintenance to a soon-to-be-ex-wife, as well as child support payments.

Lots of men are in the same boat. His story is just one of many, but actually hearing it from a man’s side, did get me thinking.

Over the years, we as women have fought hard to be equal to men, yet so many ex-wives are still sponging off previous husbands, their excuse being they want to maintain the same standard of life they had when married.

Well if it was that good why not just stay married then?

Meanwhile the poor men responsible for paying for their ex-wives’ continued standard of living are often left struggling to make their own ends meet, and they are certainly not being afforded the same lifestyle they were used to while married.'
