Divorce law - a disaster?

Gargoyle, research shows that while in what I can only describe as "traditional" cases women tend to receive more of the matrimonial pot than men, men also recover from divorce quicker than the lower earning wives who are left to the majority of the childcare, and who struggle to rebuild as often they have no career to fall back on - if you read through Fiona's posts she points to plenty of research that backs that up.

While you may have had a poor experience of divorce (which I can only assume based on your stance and behaviour on these boards), you have to recognise that research does not back your stance up.

If you want to join in our calls for change do so - but you will never be taken seriously if you continue to display the bitterness and subjectivity you are doing. With respect, you need to consider how you are making yourself look with the stuff you post - no one is listening to you right now, and you are just seen really as a bit of a pain.

Oh how marvellous.

I try to join you in a debate, without any prejudice and then you say I am bitter etc...

Don't rock the boat eh? It seems that if you disagree with anyone here you get called a bully and exhibit bitterness etc... Ridiculous.

If you cannot answer without making stupid remarks then perhaps it's time to end this conversation. I actually thought you had a bit more about you than this.

Oh, and by the way, I have never been divorced before so maybe you should not jump to such conclusions either?

Gargoyle, I want to enter in to a debate with you, I am more than happy to enter into a debate with you. But you need to consider what you are putting out there.

And as for jumping to conclusions, I wholly accepted and acknowledged it was an assumption. My point was, this is actually a debate worth having, but no one else will see it thus if you continue to display your previous behaviour.

Now put your dummy back in and lets continue....

Na.

Don't bother. If you can point out where in this thread I have been bitter or a pain etc, I will happily apologise. As it is, you seem to be the one who is throwing abuse around and I will not engage this further.

My Mother told me once that if someone starts throwing personal insults, they have lost the argument. I rest my case.

There is a difference between insults and guidance.

Good luck with whatever your crusade happens to be.

Pffffff.

By the way, the only reason I started another thread was because I wanted to keep away from your nasty comments about being a pain in the arse etc. Now that you have locked that thread it does show that you are not willing to accept that Pre-nuptial arrangements are a worthy topic for debate.

There has been no abuse and/or criticisms on my part and yet you have the cheek to stop one of my threads. How childish.

I don't know why you have got the ar.e with me Divorce Lawyer but I have only tried to engage in a topic which I thought was worth debating. For some reason you think that I have an ulterior motive to whip up some sort of argument. I have not.

As a divorce lawyer I would have thought you would have had some valuable input but instead, you decide to start being abusive and then go on to lock one of my threads. Why?

Is the subject of Pre-nuptual agreements against the rules of this Forum?
