I miss the old days when people were civil and worked this out without the courts. It's what my aunt and uncle did when they divorced. They hated each other, but understood that each of them are still humans.

I too wonder if we are seeing that the courts have proven a poor substitute for a church or other social institution.

Perhaps goverment should get out of the business of marriage all together. No tax benefits, no divorce rules, etc. Having kids is where maybe the law should establish some financial rights (food, basic housing, education).

We just aren't making life better involving the government, with the ability to jail you, on these matters. It might have been a short-term gain (20 to 40 years), but in the end it just complicated up all the problems.

When it comes to marriage, we have a mess of society. Many of the people don't even know what it is about (traditional: lifelong commitmen, no matter what) and have turned it into some kind of romantic gesture (the movies and TV depict this all the time).

Again, what a mess.
