Divorce Plunged in Kentucky. Equal Custody for Fathers Is a Big Reason Why

[O.T.I.S.]

As much as I think this is a good thing (in hopes of people just fukking and having kids, or getting divorced off “vibes” of the internet) the states that are doing it makes it hard to trust it’s actually for the benefit of men…


At least for “men of color”.

All the divorced bitter losers gone run in to cheer this.


When majority of the cases is white women trying to leave abusive ass crackas and rather stay to protect the child instead of let the kids have alone time with the abuser.

shyt should always be a case by case basis. And not skewed towards the mother or father. And definitely shouldn't be equal time regardless of the situation.

Xactly

This isn't about just child support.

This about being unable to escape your partner till the kids turns 18 anyway. Especially with rents / housing and other necessities increasing.

I'd like to see divorce data over the last couple years across all states. This could be a classic correlation =/= causation example. If you're financially struggling in a bad economy you might stay in a bad marriage or relationship longer because of the financial support. I also don't think divorce declining is a "good" thing overall for the same reason. There is no societal value in people staying in bad relationships because they're financially trapped. Or, as this law supports, staying in an abusive relationship because you're afraid of your husband spending along time with the children.

i was thinking the same exact thing when i read the thread title. some women divorce to protect children from a violent father so it would also make sense that if the children would have equal time with an abusive father in a divorce then that would increase the chances of them being abused without the other there to run interference and protect them.

a lot of factors could be why the divorce rate fell even more than the national average.

It’s all about control essentially

Either way the average poor fukk in Kentucky ain’t hurting for scratch when it comes to divorce anyway

It truly is all about control. Especially for the wyte brehs. That's why they've been crashing out since their women have gotten equal rights. Back then then women stayed with them mediocre men because they were forced too. Now they ditching them losers. I was always curious when I heard folks trying to emulate wyte marriages or something to strive for. Listening to them men and women in the military and just in the workforce. Them men treat their women like shyt. Essentially look at them as an object of possession and nothing more. That's why I always be tripping when their women be stepping out on them and getting dugg out. Them dudes be so confused and confounded why she did it and they haven't taken her on a date in 3yrs

“Four other states—Arkansas, West Virginia, Florida and Missouri—have since passed their own versions of Kentucky's custody bill.”

These are not the states you want to follow on any policies.

These states will also push for no fault divorces. They don’t give a shyt about the kids. Another way to restrict women.

Didn't take long for the incel woman hating brigade to come in. If you not giving women your entire paycheck on day 1 you lost! Real men work 12 hour days, 7 days a week and direct deposit goes straight to the wife's bank account.

Some people stay married to abusive partners, say critics of the law, because they are terrified of leaving their children alone with a parent with a history of violence. "They know their children are safer if they stay," said Elizabeth Martin, chief executive of the Louisville-based Center for Women and Family, which provides services to victims of domestic violence (most but not all of whom are women). “Even if it means taking some beats.”

This is bullshyt to signal to people who don't read.

It's the "default" arrangement, meaning; start at 50/50 then make the decision if a change is needed.

In 2018, Kentucky became the first state to pass a law making equally shared custody the default arrangement in divorces and separations.

This isn't really a "good" thing.

The purpose is for white men to maintain more control over white women....just look at where the laws got passed.

Millenials and Gen Z get married later so you'll probably see fewer divorces long-term....then you gotta factor in the poor economy. White people in red states that are not upper middle or upper class....they can't afford to divorce willy-nilly. People staying together for finances.

Correlation =/= Causation

Also gotta remember that white men want their wives to cook, clean and all that shyt. Equal custody puts a lot more weight on a white dude used to having a woman that handles all the day-to-day shyt. Now he's got the kids half the time instead of just during summers or weekends. He gotta cook and keep his place clean more often. Divorce ain't that attractive to them either, and not just for rea$on$.

Not even arguing with your points but do you think shared custody should be the default anyway?

Women can and do move funny knowing the courts are gonna back them in most places.

Why cant you make your points without tryna put some group of people down? Could've just said the next two paragraphs and been done with it

From my upbringing and around the way, couples break up, and pops would come by to pick the kids up on weekends or some other days of the week, and drop off some cash. If need be, school supplies, shoes, and clothes "What size he wear now?"

That's how people rolled.....and it kept the gov't out of people's business

Everything was Everything.

Was that best for the kids though
