Keep getting the divorce as it is now, while I say starting some stop-the-want-of-divorce type of laws.
If we make laws that protect marriage like any outsider that adulterates a marriage would be a crime then the other spouse that got cheated would have another choice besides breaking up their family.
Now home-wreckers like
Monica Lewinsky remain free to go out and destroy some one else's marriage and family.
There could also be new laws giving options of civil law suits against persons adulterating any marriage.
There could also be specific pre-nuptual agreements that go along with a marriage license that clearly protect the marriage.
And when there are children involved then the family unit and the marriage must be given even greater legal protections.
This is not my campaign platform and it would be near imposible to do as a freshman congress person, but I would get the subject brought out and into discussion.
It is true that I would have little authority in that area from the US Congress and it is not my intent to try the impossible in that regard.
Other impossibilities I will try.
From my understanding then most physically abused children are perpetrated by the step-parents and the few events by the natural parent is because of severe mental illness or other outside pressure. So child support is not a factor and it is irrelevant in cases of physical abuse.
What does feed the abuse of children is the rise in divorces and the abusive step-parents and that can be reduced by promoting the protection of the marriage in the first place.
