I never would have married my ex-husband if I thought I had to prove I had a good reason to divorce him. I absolutely could, but submitting that proof to the family law court would have really screwed up his visitation battle with his kids mom. Did he really want me to have to submit evidence of his drug abuse to the state so I could get a divorce?? Is this what men really want?</p><p>Oh and on top of that they are moving to make family law hearings publicly available, like a live stream I guess, but then you could also request the transcripts like you could for any other hearing. </p><p>Do these guys really want proof of their abuse logged with the court publicly available for ALL (bosses, future girlfriends, their adult kids, etc) to see, or do they want us to be able to get no fault divorce??</p><p>Regardless, people aren’t going to get married if they are trapped in it forever. Just like when we lost reproductive rights a whole bunch of women I know went out to get permanently sterilized. Some were childfree by choice, some had one kid and maybe would have had another but not now if they could die from pregnancy complications. So they decided to be one and done rather than risk leaving their current child without a mother.</p><p>You can tell it’s controlling abusive men trying to make these laws because they actually think this will work, when in fact it’s going to turn women against them more than we already are.</p><p>Look at <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/4B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>4B</span></a>.
