For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.

He told Chron his views were shaped by watching his father go through a divorce and later experiencing divorce himself, one he did not want.

"When we utter our vows, many people say, 'Till death do you part.'....My vows are more important than anything… I made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow," Morgan argued.

Men who show up to court, fight for custody, prove they are capable of having thier kids (the mothers have to this too), are granted what they ask.

I was raised by a father, while my mom got burned hard by the divorce. Ive also met a few other single fathers, where the court deemed the mother unfit, and awarded full custody of the child to the father. It absolutely happens. I dont hang out in crowds outside the working class, I dont know anyone who has ever had to pay alimony so I cant speak to that.

People who "lose access to thier kids" that ive met... earned that. Plenty just "make it work".

And, this has abaolutely nothing to do with no fault divorce. People die when they are forced to live in conditions they dont want to. By suicide, drugs, murder, slow death by poor coping mechanisms... why is this an argument for you view?

edit, and uh, excuse me:
