Think before you leap...
I've just come across an article in the Observer last Sunday. It refers to a study to be published in The Economic Journal that suggests that concerns over child support are making men think twice before leaving their wives. I remain to be convinced, and agree with David Burrows, who is quoted in the article as saying that he cannot think of a case he has dealt with where people chose not to get a divorce because of child support.

Surely the problem with this is that many more wives divorce their husbands than the other way round. In fact I think I remember someone saying that 25% of husbands are 'surprised' when their wives say they want a divorce...
