Oh well I guess I strongly believe in promises and if the person did not commit any abuse or cheat, than what good are promises if people can just take them back no problem?
Plus I thought when it comes to children, splitting up is worse than sticking together.
I think it's best if BOTH parents automatically lose custody if they get a divorce, regardless of who initiated it. The child is then moved into a relatives' home, a foster/adoptive family, or a group home, whichever he/she prefers. The birth parents are then given equal-time visitation rights, while the child resides with his/her new legal guardians. While I'm anti-big government, being a conservative, I fully support breaking up the parents' monopoly on their child's happiness.
This works out extremely well for the child, because he/she isn't forced to make a difficult choice which parent to live with. Plus, after months or years of helplessly watching his/her parents fight, most children would be ecstatic to start a new life with a new family, and to forget their old life like a bad dream. And it creates a strong disincentive for the wife (usually) to file for divorce because she's "not haaaapy, whaaaah".
