I don't give a fuck if two people want to get divorced.

Divorce increases the chance of juvenile criminals (later adult criminals) along with increasing poverty numbers. Both of which have a huge toll on society as you're spending more money to lock up these people and spending more money to make sure these people have basic needs
I'm fine with it. It's unfortunate, but shit happens; people change. If divorce is culturally frowned upon, you'll have more people staying together for no good reason and still providing a shit home life for their kid(s). Often, divorce is the better option.

Even so, what are we going to do? Forcing two people to stay together who don't want to is a fucking stupid idea.
1. Reform No Fault Divorce with Mutual Consent: Thecurrent No Fault Divorce Law, in 49 states, is rigged to destroyfamilies, not to preserve them. Frank Furstenburg and AndrewCherlin wrote in Divided Families, that “four out of fivemarriages ended unilaterally.” Though a divorce is opposed in80% cases1 by one spouse, it is always granted. Therefore, myfirst proposal is that couples with children should be required toobtain written mutual consent for the dissolution of theirmarriage, if there are no allegations of major fault such asadultery or physical abuse. The spouse who thinks their marriageIS reconcilable should have an equal voice in deciding whether topreserve it. Both religious and legal leaders believe the replacement of No Fault Divorce withMutual Consent – would save half of the marriages now ending in divorce. If passed in everystate, a half million children a year would NOT see their parents divorce, 5 million in a decade. Itis hard to imagine any change in America that could bring more positive benefits to Americanfamilies.

Divorce strikes about half of all new marriages, and many intact families sacrifice time with each other to afford more affluent lifestyles. Today, about 70 percent of children under 18 live with two married parents. Kids who live with one parent only are much more likely to experience poverty than those living in two-parent families. Because of family problems, children are being polarized into two distinct economic groups: those in affluent, two-earner, married-couple house-holds and those in poor, single-parent households
Boys seem to be more affected by postdivorce absence of the father. In postdivorce situations, fathers seems less likely to be around to solve problems, to discuss standards of conduct, or to enforce discipline. A divorced father who remains actively involved in his child's life reduces his son's chances of delinquency

What do you suggest? Ban couples from getting divorced?
