Present laws do not clearly define the obligations of people getting married. Those who get married are then subject to the whims of the family court when one of the spouses decides to divorce.

I think that Alabama simply records the marriage, and gives it legal status, but it does not record the marriage contract. I say change the laws that in order to marry the two parties must sign a contract in which they each commit to certain obligations. The law would allow for divorce only if the one seeking divorce can prove that his spouse has breached the marriage contract. Damages would be awarded strictly according to the marriage contract.

Sure, some people will still take advantage of the legal systems and try to screw their soon-to-be-exes, but for most people this will be a vast improvement. Over time a few standard contracts will develop and people will chose according to their values. This wouldn't make marriage easier, but it would reduce frivolous divorces.

Should there be an effort to make such legal changes, I don't see why it wouldn't appeal to people all over the political spectrum. For those who are interested, they can still have no-fault divorces by making it easy to breach the contract. Some can agree to have equal rights and responsibilities with their spouses. Other can contract for a traditional marriage in which the man owns all the community property, requires the woman to live with him, and is the final authority to make choices for the children.

Evolution required women to develop skills of seduction, guile, subterfuge, backstabbing, stealing, lying, and other behaviors because of her biological goals.

1. Secure resources sufficient to survive gestation and nursing a baby (estimated over 1 million kcals). She will find a "provider". She may use all kinds of subterfuge to achieve this, and the provider's needs are not the priority. All females have this instinct deep down; when angry they will always say "you fucked me" if they are asked to pay for something once.

2. Find the source of DNA which will provide the most robust offspring; this is not the same person as the "provider". Thus, women are attracted instinctively to "bad boys." So, if you are the unlucky "provider", you can fully expect she will fuck some other guy(s) behind your back if she is motivated.
Typically they like to seek out "revenge fucks"; she lets a random guy fuck her because you argued and she wants to pay you back.

I have some amazing stories but I'll stop here. Don't expect a female to act against her instincts, you'll be disappointed.

Female prerogative strikes again; i.e., bitches do shit thinking there are no consequences - just another learning opportunity. Just like everyone else, they'll run out of learning opportunities, and, with the empty nest, be discarded. I had higher hopes for this one.

Learned a new one today - "mouth noises." Gold, Jerry, gold!

Let's try it out. Her, "Why don't you . . " Me, "That's the way it is, and no amount of mouth noises on your part will change it. In fact, can the mouth noises." This is a little bit kinder than "STFU bitch."

End lifetime alimony. If unemployment insurance is only good for like maybe 6 months max, so should alimony.

The Quakers were considered enemies of Crown in England because they refused, as a general principle, to swear any oath of allegiance to anything other than their God. For this, all Quakers were branded as traitors and jailed, because they would not swear allegiance to the King. There were so many Quakers that the jails filled up, and so to make more room, all the real criminals were let loose to rob and pillage (this is the origin of the highwaymen stories). After many years of the King's courtiers being robbed and assaulted, the King offered William Penn, the leader of the Quakers, his own colony in America, if he would only take the rest of the Quakers with him. Once the Quakers were gone, they English could go back to filling their prisons with the traditional criminals as opposed to housing "Traitors to the English Crown."

At least up until a several years ago, a person could not be convicted of treason for an act that he did NOT do (i.e., fail to swear an oath), but only for acts that he actively committed to betray his nation. This is the legacy of Willam Penn and the suffering of the Quakers.

During the Civil Rights Protests, there was the Children's Crusade in Birmingham Alabama:

The segregationists locked up hundreds of young adults until the jails were full, then kept the overflow in cattle pens for days in the pouring rain and mud, but they kept having to jail more and more of them.

Now that men are being put in prison to somehow convince them to pay child support for children that are not theirs, how many men will it take, unjustly jailed, until justice is again dragged kicking and screaming to the tune of the millions who suffer to prevail upon the great evil that befalls men?

Truer words as the above have never been spoken ;)

Booger says

She will still get alimony though. The judge will likely base the alimony on what he was making before he quit his job.

To be paid with what income though?

ForcedTQ says

To be paid with what income though?

The judge will assume that the man is capable of getting an equivalent paying job. If the judge determines that the man quit the job as a strategy to lower alimony, the judge will base alimony on "imputed" income. Same applies if the woman quit her job as a strategy to get more alimony.

Another factoid is divorced guys tend to remarry quickly.

I've seen this myself, and the second wife is usually 10 to 20 years younger than the first.

Why in the hell would you remarry? Male or female. If it didn't work the first time what makes you think it will work the 2nd time or 3rd time? You're picking bad women or it's you. At some point stop shooting yourself in the foot.
