The divorce lawyer for the stay-at-home mom will only charge her if she receives a settlement and alimony. It's a business, and that's how it works. No catch-22 there. If the mother has a case there are thousands of lawyers who will take it at no cost until the settlement.

Like I told Nyororin, I don't have statistics. Do you? If not, I almost feel like continuing this discussion is a little pointless, just because we're both going off of what we think and what our experiences are without any solid proof.

The vast majority of men in prison came from single parent homes (mostly fatherless homes).
There are things a mother will teach a child and there are things a father will teach a child. These aren't necessarily the same things. The fact that so many men in prison didn't have fathers is testament to this.

That's interesting. Show me these statistics, please.
What do you think a mother will teach a child? What do you think a father will teach a child?

To show you that not all households with two parents are the glowing examples of families.
