1ºJeremy Hughes I know a man who fought like hell to keep his son after his divorce and got continuously screwed by the system. He had to work twice as hard as the women I know in the same position. It was absolutely heartbreaking and you’re right, it’s not out there enough.
That being said. I’m so afraid of being further abused by my ex husband that I let him pay roughly 60% of what he’s supposed to for child support. He doesn’t pay extra curricular activity fees and even refused medical coverage for our children under his benefits. I haven’t taken him to court because I just don’t have any fight left in me. Which is a story all too true for both genders.
2ºWomen usually struggle because they have to be working mom, the mom, the dad, the listener, the provider, the caregiver, the maid, the person who dresses the child, the cook, the driver, the extra curricular activities attendee, & the list goes on. Meanwhile, the husband, walks away. Some Men have nothing to add, or share, or struggle because they literally just walk away. Men can always voice their aftermath about a divorce but they usually won’t, because 80% of the time, their new life will include a new woman. ( this is for some men not all, some willingly, continue their role as a dad)
3ºJeff Wilson This level of political posturing BS is disgusting. Please show me where FOX has done exactly what you are asking. Never. I am a person that has been divorced and couldn't careless that my struggles were never put in the news. I don't care to see yours or anyone else's either. It's a very personal thing to go through and most people would rather not publicize the details. Since she is a public figure and in the public eye more than most, it's better to hear it from her than morons injecting their opinions on SM from a position of complete ignorance regarding her situation.
4ºMonica Vargas Huertas Who did I treat funny? Because I said she's a rich celebrity with all the love, support, and money you could need? It's the truth.
C'mon. She got divorced and went back to her crib in the hills where her children will live with her most of the time, go to the same schools, keep their friends, and probably still vacay on the same beaches over the summer. And she's talking about this on TV for attention like some real suffering is happening.
Did I miss something? If you found out you were getting divorced tomorrow, but then also that you would have 50m to get over it you'd be okay. A little sad some days but you'd get a personal trainer, reconnect with your old buddies, and have a couple parties. You'd be okay.
5ºNelson Agee 50% custody is the standard now in most cases, except for when one of the parent is fit or the man doesn't want to have the children that office.
Most men voluntarily take less than 50/50 btw - that's not something forced on them by the courts. The reality is that as much as people complain about men not getting equal custody, most men don't want it.
Women also have to pay child support and alimony. That's not determined by gender. That's determined by the custody agreement, financial circumstances during and after the marriage, prenups, etc.
Men who do go to court for additional custody time almost always get what they ask for.
Legal fees aren't determined by gender either.
Post-divorce men generally experience improved financial conditions
Post-divorce women generally end up financially worse off

7ºJeremy Hughes Divorce is a complex and emotional process that can have significant impacts on both men and women. However, it is true that historically, the struggles and challenges faced by women in the context of divorce have been more highlighted and talked about in the public discourse. This is because women have often faced a more difficult time in terms of economic and social independence after a divorce, especially in cultures where traditional gender roles are prevalent.
For example, women may struggle to maintain financial stability or access to resources after a divorce, especially if they have been out of the workforce for an extended period due to caregiving responsibilities. They may also experience greater stigma or shame around their status as a divorced woman, especially in cultures where marriage is highly valued.
At the same time, it's important to recognize that men can also face significant struggles during and after a divorce, such as custody battles, loss of financial stability, and emotional upheaval. The way in which divorce is discussed and portrayed in media and public discourse can influence how these issues are perceived and addressed.
Ultimately, it's essential to recognize that divorce affects individuals in different ways, and the struggles faced by each person may depend on a variety of factors, including gender, socioeconomic status, and cultural background. Therefore, it's crucial to approach the topic of divorce with sensitivity and nuance, recognizing the unique challenges faced by each individual.
