Negativity In 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.

One of the biggest issues that most men are fighting for today would be the custody of the children during the separation of the spouses. Now this is simply because the children are usually with the mother while the father is bringing back home the bread. So the court would assume that the mother would know more about taking care of the kids as compared to the father.

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.

Another thing that happens during this case is that a man might risk losing most of his assets if his wife would file for a divorce. The problem here is that when a couple get married, the wife would have access to the assets of the husband which means that in court, she may fight for it. Sometimes the wife is able to claim some of those assets during the court case.

Now one very common issue with regard to the assets would of course be the house and the car. In most situations, the man is the one that pays for the house and the car. However, even if this is the case, the ex wife may actually snag ownership of their house or their family car for herself.

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.

Due to the gender bias in the laws, men have a generally very negative perception when it comes to divorce. It is actually because of this that a lot of men are fighting for the amendment of some laws. Though some states have more reasonable laws, other states are stricter.
