Divorce deprives people of life. A divorced man will live 10 years less than a married man; a divorced woman, four years less; and their children, five years less. Divorced people and their children are also deprived of liberty. A typical father can see his kids only two weekends a month. Certainly, husbands and wives lose property when they move apart. Yet there is no constitutional protection for 80 percent of spouses handed an unwanted divorce. Therefore, I helped design the Parental Divorce Reduction Act, introduced in Georgia as the Childrens Hope for Family Life Act. It would increase the waiting period from 30 days to one year. - Mike McManus - Coalition for Divorce Reform (Mike is on the board of the Coalition for Divorce Reform and also a Co-Chair of Marriage Savers) Great article by Mike McManus and my friends at the Coalition for Divorce Reform. I look forward to supporting and working with them to address this tragic crisis in our culture.
