I would say that an accountant would have a pretty good idea of the culture and the status quo if they had a wide range of clientelle.

I know that if I was seperating, the first person that I would want to speak to is my accountant. Solicitors come last.

I too think that some woman have no idea what things are worth and they have an urealistic idea about how much money they should expect to get and how much control they should have over their children and ex-husband.

What I dont understand is why it is so difficult for things to be processed and dealt with fair?

Jolanda,
The first step is now supposed to be to go to a Family Relationship Centre, to see if the marriage can be repaired. Some believe that over 70% of failed marriages could have been repaired.

However I don't think feminists want marriages to be repaired, and I don't think feminists want fathers to have any more contact with their children other than every second weekend and half the school holidays (or the current 80/20 system).

I think most parents would say that looking after their children on the weekends and during the school holidays is more difficult than looking after their children on school days when the children spend most of the day at school.

So the fathers can have the children on the weekends and during the school holidays when the children are not at school, but the mothers have the children when they spend most of the day at school.

But of course the myth is that fathers are not important, and fathers are not as good as mothers when it comes to parenting.

I think feminists want to keep that myth alive for as long as possible.

What you think you would do if you were going through a divorce does not offer meaningful substance for this debate. When you become a divorced woman, join in. In the mean time, you are contributing to ignorant rhetoric on women who find themselves the subject of criticism by people, such as yourself, who do not know them, but due to their gender, decide you're the expert on their situation and are inappropriately opinionated.

As for young HRS ... feminism and divorce are two unrelated topics. I suppose it makes it easy for you to blame all your woes on those dastardly 'feminists' and not yourself.

Liz. Do you think that I live in a bubble?

Liz,
As a non-discriminatory, impartial, and non-feminist teacher, I’m now wondering how you have determined that I am young, and I’m also wondering if you have anything against young people.

I think the article is very feminist, and feminism has much to do with divorce and extortion of money.

I have known very few feminist who have said anything good about fathers. In fact, I was just listening to a feminist from an Australia University on the ABC radio, and they spoke about fathers, but of course they said nothing good about fathers. It appears to be obligatory for academic feminists to say nothing good about fathers.

I can understand the feminist logic. To a feminist, fathers are no good, but their money is good. So feminists have to devalue fathers, to make it easier to extort money from fathers and abduct their children.

This article does not really say anything positive about fathers, and I would regard the article as feminist.
