On the face of it I can see why such a title for a category would get a lot of people nodding i agreement because of a few high profile cases which makethe headlines however I feel that the reality is very different in the large number of cases that go unreported.

I have two friends who went through divorces and both needed the courts to sort out the financial aspects, in both cases from the date of seperation to the final court hearings they got no money from their husbands despite the fact that one of them was left to support three children and the other one child. In fact the one with only one child was forced out of the family home and it took court action to get her back into the home in order to provide a safe place for her daughter.

Without the protection of a legal system that sees an even division of posessions and does not apportion blame both would have probably been consigned to a life of living on benefits and occupying council homes, as it is they are able to both work, pay taxes and raise their children in a loving home so for me to only quote those cases such as the McCartney divorce as showing that divorce settlements only favour the women is masking the real picture.

Right I'm off to the local nightclub to bag me a celebrity or footballer. WAGS forever.
