The laws are starting to change. In Tennessee, DNA testing of paternity is now mandatory for child-support cases.

Conservatives Take Aim At No-Fault Divorce Laws
Things are changing. After scoring a victory with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, conservatives are setting their sights at overturning no-fault divorce laws. At-fault divorce laws, prior to 1970 and stretching centuries previous, looked something like this: A married couple could divorce under mutually-agreed conditions. If there was no mutual agreement, then the caseContinue reading “Conservatives Take Aim At No-Fault Divorce Laws”
Mostly Eliminating Child Support
The present child support system dates from 1975. It has given rise to the “child support model of marriage,” where a husband and father is no longer necessary — just his money. Maybe we should just get rid of it. Whoever has custody of the child has to take care of it. This would certainlyContinue reading “Mostly Eliminating Child Support”
Adam and Eve
I sure am writing a lot this morning. Here we draw inspiration again from the Transformed Wife, Lori Alexander, who always has something interesting to talk about. Here, she talks about the former wife of Joshua Harris, the “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” guy. Shannon Harris talks about her experience in the Christian Church, the AdamContinue reading “Adam and Eve”
Dead Easy
Here’s a very average girl from rural China, with a really crappy $9 dress, and a little makeup but not that much. But, she isn’t fat, has no noserings or tattoos, has long hair, and is making an effort. It really is that easy. Probably, she could be a Good Wife and Mother too. GoodContinue reading “Dead Easy”
Feminist Background Radiation
If you’re going to be a wife and mother, be a good one! Because, what’s the point of being a bad one? Are you benefiting from this somehow? Obviously, your husband and children are not benefiting. If you don’t want to be a wife and mother, then don’t. Good luck with that. Being a GoodContinue reading “Feminist Background Radiation”
Alimony Reform in Florida
Florida eliminated permanent alimony. This is perhaps not much, but finally things are moving. There is broad agreement now that divorce law needs major changes. There is not so much agreement on what those changes should be, which is a topic that I would like to get back to, perhaps with the help of aContinue reading “Alimony Reform in Florida”
Road To Nowhere
Not that long ago — in the 1950s and 1960s — “dating,” or the pattern of premarital sex that replaced the Courtship pattern, was something that you did for a few years before getting married around Age 21. By the 1990s, it was taking a lot longer than that, but still 92% of White womenContinue reading “Road To Nowhere”
Worthy Girls
I met a woman last week that seemed like one of those who deserves a decent husband. She said outright that she wanted six children. 8/10 for looks. 10/10 for charm. (Very charming!) From an upper-middle or outright upper-class family. She is 37. Now, it might be that she spent the years 16-32 on aContinue reading “Worthy Girls”
She Has The Right Idea
Men and women are drifting farther apart. There is a noticeable chasm between “dating” and marriage now. Mostly, this is sensible. Men are more and more aware of the intensely anti-male and anti-marriage legal situation we face today. Also, most women do not seem capable of performing adequately in the role of wife and mother.Continue reading “She Has The Right Idea”
