Men learning from their fathers how NOT to divorce, using New Divorce Tactics.

Divorce is not new. In ancient societies, a man could divorce his wife, and she could be tossed aside or even killed. Clearly divorce was not fair nor just. Then in the 1950′s divorce started to increase, and took off during the 1960′s. Men were coming under attack during this time, women’s liberation giving moms and wives new strength through a new voice. And the courts soon began to favor women in divorce, especially mothers.

The courts actions appeared lopsided to most observers, and many a father lost not only their families and homes in a divorce, but they were heavily punished financially, to the point of extreme. And it was this extreme financial burden that created the great disconnect between fathers and mothers in divorce that even today still pervaded many family courts across America.

What I am seeing now is a new generation of men in divorce, these “sons of divorced fathers”, who watched with horror as their fathers struggled to deal with the physical, financial and emotional burden of divorce, and these men are not approaching divorce the way their fathers did. No, these men are strategically planning and manipulating their divorces long before they file. And they are filing in record numbers.

More men are filing for divorce as a percentage than before, simply because they know that if they take their time, plan their exit and make preparations to manipulate the courts, they will fare much better in the process than if they do not!  Clearly men have learned the advantages of being the petitioner in a divorce, and of taking time to move assets, and all the other myriad of things one can do to prepare for a divorce BEFORE actually filing for a divorce.

So take notice husbands and wives… times are changing, and the battle lines appear to be drawn.
