As far as living in the same school district, that's not always a good thing either. Some divorces end in restraining orders and all kinds of other bad shit. Not everyone has the faculties to conduct themselves like a decent human being. And for the ones that do, I still must disagree. Providing no one has done anything criminal, you can't force them to live somewhere if they don't want to.

You're quite right, Amp...but why do both have to work?
Kids can be raised just as well on KMart as they can on Neiman Marcus....and, it doesn't necessarily have to be her that is the one who stays home....just don't let day cares raise your kids...why have them....and there in lies another solution.
If you don't have the finances to be with the child you create, don't have children.
As to alimony....I've seen too many couples, all wide eyed and dewy...decide she or he is staying home...when the marriage goes away, you've got one person who is skilled to do nothing....after all, not everyone is an extraordinary writer or outstanding designer
.
Sterilisation isn't a bad thing, either....
I don't have a solution for those who have to have restraining orders....it's pretty sad when it comes to that....and, parents shouting 'sexual abuse', just to get custody...oh, the stories I could tell.
