An Insight On The Male Perspective On Divorce

By Stella Gay


Unlike what most of the media would tell the people, it is not always the fault of the man when a marriage does not work out. Of course when divorce becomes an issue in this case, then the men will always be at a disadvantage because most of the laws regarding these cases are actually biased. According to the general male perspective on divorce, it can be seen that men are definitely the ones that will lose out.

To start off, one should remember that when it comes to the custody of children, the mother will almost always win. Since generally the mothers are the ones that would take care of the children, then naturally the court will favor the mother even if she was at fault to begin with.The rationale behind that is of course the saying that goes mother knows best.

Of course this will create a rift between the father and the children because the children will think of him as a villain. Since the mothers are usually the ones that would spend time with the children often, then their influence is definitely stronger. Of course it is because of this that most children would side with their mothers.

Now if that is still not bad enough, then one should know that in a divorce case, a man may risk losing some of his assets. Now when a couple would get married, the courts would usually grant the partners access to each others assets. So if an ex wife may want to, she can actually fight for the ownership or just co ownership of some assets that belongs to the man.

Such an example would be the house and the car. Even if the man did pay for the house and the car, the wife may have a fighting chance of getting the house and car from the husband in court. This is simply because most laws would state that the assets of a married couple are to be split between the couple.

Now another thing about this type of situation is that the men would have to support their ex wives through alimony. Now even if the wife has already moved on, married another man, and had children with that other man, the ex husband must still pay alimony. This is definitely a big obstacle if he is to have his own financial stability.

Now fortunately, not all states are very extreme when it comes to the laws regarding alimony. There are some states that would first require a proper court procedure before the ex wife can claim anything from the ex husband. However, there are also some states that are more biased toward women and would favor the woman over the man.

Because of the gender biased laws, it can be clearly seen that divorce for men can be a living hell. Now with the strengthening of liberation, many men are fighting for their rights against these gender biased laws. Hopefully in the future, men can file for a divorce without having to deal with all those other headaches.
