I don't think laws should be changed to make harder, I do believe the laws should be changed to make it harder to get married, that's where the problem lies. If we made the laws as hard to get married as they are to get divorced and all the crap that goes with a divorce, I think there would be a lot less people getting married so fast. For instance, like you must live with that person a year before marriage, live with your in laws for a month, and keep someones children for a month!!!!! I f you can go through this you get your pass!!!!

No, I think that the laws should remain in place.
However, I do think it should be more difficult to put an unreasonable distance between both parent's residences. Visitation is a crock. The kids need to see their parents 50/50. The parent leaving the household should be required to be accessible to the children. IE: The kids should be able to walk to that parent's residence.
The divorce was the best thing for me and my kids in my judgement, however, my ex immediately cut the kids out and then moved out of town. I have two daughters(nice kids) he has not spent time with in over 4 years. The only one he will interact with is my son and that is for a 24 hour period every two weeks. No communication in between. It's a crock. My kids suffer for this. That's what needs to change.
And yes, he still has the same job he had when we lived as a family unit.

Absolutely NOT...though maybe it should be a bit harder to get married.
The fighting does not start as soon as the couple walks into court, that is where it starts to end. Divorce (outside of Hollywood) is a last resort...where you give up on a relationship to save your life, or sanity. Making it more difficult does not do anybody any good.
On the other hand, marriage, aside from a few tax breaks, has few redeeming qualities that are not attainable in just a standard "living together" arrangement. Maybe that needs to be a bit harder to get into...education...stricter licensing laws...or maybe even having the license expire every few years, with re-education, and testing done every so often. After all, a bad marriage can do more damage than a bad driver.

Some time yes, Some times no. Divorce law is based as per the democratic rules made by the constituencies by each country. Emotions & Sympathy may come between law. Divorose should take place as by suitations.

yes I do. I think if people divorce with kids they should both have to pay child support payments to the state and the state makes sure the child is being taken care of. Bet that would make parents think twice. many parents seem to only think of them selves when they should consider whats best for the children.

No, because I think it can be worse for the children when the parents live together in misery. I would rather see children's parents divorce than have the children watch things such as spousal abuse, hatred, and grow up in a family where their parents cannot stand to be in the same room.

I think that if you have children law should insist that both parents attend seminars on how much their fighting affects their children, and how, divorcing will have life-long affects on their children. I also think that most divorces are based on selfish, self-centred agenda's, parents clearly forgetting about their own flesh and blood. Test this for yourself, the parent that left, will always end up somehow justifying his/her reasons

Yes and No.........Sometimes its worse for the kids to see mom and dad hate one another if their are kids involved. On the other hand, if their is no foul play from either partner, no cheating, no abuse, ect.......then maybe a marraige counsiler should be seen before one can make a divorce final.

No. If a couple does not want to remain married (for whatever reason), it does not make sense to try to force them through law. It doesn't work.

HELL NO, I never had peace of mind until my parents divorced. The fighting isnt healthy for children but faking it isnt healthy either.
