Sup fellas,

I was reading this excellent Dalrock article about divorce and the threat-point of women leaving...

...and he linked to a personal account of a man who was blind-sided by divorce-rape. It's really a chilling, sorrowful story. Worth a read, if nothing other than to drive home the point to never get married.

The guy said something that gave me pause:

States get matching funds from the federal government for every support order they issue; therefore there is an built-in economic incentive against family reconciliation and against shared custody and an economic incentive for sole physical custody.

I saw that and thought, "no frickin' way."

30 seconds of googling later, and I ended up at the Wikipedia entry for the Office of Child Support Enforcement:

the Federal Government enacted the Child Support Enforcement and Paternity Establishment Program (CSE) in 1975....authorizing Federal matching funds for enforcement purposes—locating nonresident parents, establishing paternity, establishing child support awards, and collecting child support payments.[2]

And there it is. The federal government is literally giving money to the states, for the purposes of enforcing child support payments.

This creates a perverse incentive for the state to rule against men. By facilitating the divorce-rape of men, states receive federal money to continue doing exactly that.

This is bullshit.
