In the news... What's...


D.I.V.O.R.C.E. spells disaster for too many dads going through the big break-up


Many divorced wives are unfairly having their cake and eating it, says relationship expert Sarah Symonds


We need help getting divorced, not staying married


There is a lot I would have done differently with my divorce. What we so desperately need is early access to counsellors


Australia’s new prime minister Tony Abbott did more than most to insult the “institution of marriage” in the lead up to the election when the Coalition announced that it would give $200 relationship vouchers to couples when they registered their “intention to marry”. It was a gallant gesture intended to stymie divorce, one that spoke very clearly to romantic notions of life-long love and – don’t be fooled by the inclusion of same-sex couples – the traditional nuclear family. The vouchers were the idea of Kevin Andrews, shadow minister for families up until the election, who has said that marriage breakdown is a greater threat to society than climate change or radical Islam.

Ever conscious to keep my column even-handed, this week I want to speak out on behalf of men, and this week’s topic is inspired by a dear male friend of mine currently going through a divorce, coping with the typical issues of having to pay maintenance to a soon-to-be-ex-wife, as well as child support payments. Lots of men are in the same boat. His story is just one of many, but actually hearing it from a man’s side, did get me thinking.


Over the years, we as women have fought hard to be equal to men, yet so many ex-wives are still sponging off previous husbands, their excuse being they want to maintain the same standard of life they had when married.
