No.
A divorce decree is totally different then a custody/child support agreement.

Of course children need to be protected from abusive situations, but generally speaking, children suffer whenever their parents split, so I have no idea why parents split over selfish things like "falling out of love" really meaning the steamy romance has cooled down a bit.
The idea is that being married makes it harder, and makes you think longer before you split because there's a long, and expensive, logistic process to a divorce where as a dating relationship can end by simply walking out the door.
So little things that would make a boyfriend and girlfriend split up, are endured and more married couples stay intact.

The assumption is all marriages end in divorce due to abuse that we need to protect the children from.
Now..if there is physical abuse...end the marriage...protect the children...
But how many end becaue "I'm not in love with you anymore"...how many end because the marriage bed has been shared with another?
Bottom line...how many marriages would have been saved if Marriage as a committment was honored, and not just some termporal arrangement?
if "marriage" was held higher, and both husband and wife said to each other "we're going to work on this, even harder than we have been"....that would protect children.
Haven't met a lot of children who say "i'm so happy I only have one parent." (Not saying there aren't kids out there who know their parents shouldnt be together). If there were...then why are so many still hurting, years after the divorce?

Marriage compounds the problem mostly for the children, its hard for a child to break a relationship with one of their parents because of divorce, no one wins!

In some cases, but in others it traps children in situations of violence that are held together by tradition.

Nope.
That's why I hate the argument of "Wait til you're married to have kids."
When you bring up that recommendation, people marry without being in love -- and eventually, it fails.
The kids suffer.
