By Bettina Arndt, published 14/2/2023

Labor’s new family law bill panders to feminists by pushing divorced dads out of children’s lives.

If people of both sexes stopped acting like animals, and took responsibility for their own lives and those lives they created, there would be no need to have governments and courts sticking their noses into their miserable, self-indulgent existences.

In effect, nothing will change. When court orders for joint custody are ignored by both parties and not enforced by authorities given the charge of enforcing them. Propping up the stinking corpse of John Howard as the saviour of divorcing couples in conflict, is pathetic in light of actual workings of his supposed saving system of shared custody.
Examples of that working are thin on the ground around me!

Change is as good as a holiday, but this change is simply business as usual, nine to five.

I wonder how many of the people who can't manage their marriages and relationships will be celebrating Valentine's Day, and spending silly amounts of money on partners they won't be with this time next year.

Been there done that. Too many marriages break down for multiple reasons. When they do there's hardly any prospect of going back. What can be rescued must be.

And only by keeping courts and attack dog lawyers out of the frame. And by accepting the inevitable and getting an amicable agreement that keeps both parents in the loop and in their children's lives, and never ever blamed! As hard as that may be, it is the best outcome for the mums, dads and their kids.

Otherwise, Blokes should simply bugger of and out of all their family's lives indefinitely.

Conflict resolves nothing but reasoned debate, good manners and civility will. After all, common curtesy and civility costs nothing! Besides, friendship is also worth salvaging!

What can you do when a marriage breaks down?

My advice would be - stay fiends if possible and
don't blame each other. Settle amicably. And move
on. Fighting - and being greedy - only lawyers benefit.
Work it out together, if you can. And I believe you can -
for everyone's benefit.
