I remember the day Elizabeth left me and the kids, a little boy of one and a little girl of two and a half. How I held them and tried to think of a way into the future with God.

Then she realised that if she divorced me, she could carry on doing so, get paid by the state, and rip off the value of the house my family gave us.

Where did you get your statistics on divorce? I was just wondering. I think alot of divorce now, Or I should say in America is pretty much equal...However there are alot of crazy Americans killing the spouse (and children)instead of dealing with divorce. Which is sad very sad, what did the children do? Not a damn thing...Oops got me started on my own kind (AMERICAN) lol...but tis true :P

Interesting...Thanks for your response on this matter. I was just wondering where you came up with these results. It is so interesting to see how other countries differ from the United States, when it comes to things such as this. It is amazing.

Thanks again Dave!
