Generally the parent not taking care of the child is required to pay "child support" to the parent that is. That's not the only form of assistance possible, but its a significant one.

Hi
Too bad (in my opinion of course)
Do you have any children?
You meet your ex-wife?
And finally you must be about 30 (I guess) in some scientific text I read that making children after 35 are too much risky! Do you mind this?
We did not have children and it's one of the reasons we had issues in our marriage. She was pursuing her career. In hindsight, I'm pretty happy without children.
I do see her from time to time and we talk. We simply were not meant to be together.
I am much older than 30. At 44, children would very risky and honestly children are a lifetime commitment and I don't want the responsibility anymore.

In my culture divorce is bad and family and marriage is a good one but reading your opinion seems that there is some debate about marriage
So I have another question: If in a election two body reaches final steps and both have same opinion about things but one of them grew in a full and classical family and the other from a divorced family and single parent do you mind in your election the situation of family? I mean you vote which of them?
Is this subject affecting the future of a politician?

Often when parents divorce, only one will have custody of the children. Often, this means that the children live with their mother (as you've seen in movies), but the father is required to help pay for their food, clothing, education, and things like that.
With regards to politicians, I don't think politicians who have divorced face too much of a problem getting elected; President Reagan was divorced. Of the politicians running for president in 2008, both Giuliani and McCain have divorced; Giuliani is currently with his third wife. Giuliani's son is upset about this, but as Giuliani is currently the most popular Republican who will be running for president, is doesn't seem to be too much of a problem for him.

She usually works and over here we have universal welfare so the mother can get money from the government in that situation.

If the mother has custody, the father often has to pay "child support" money to the mother in place of him being an active parent. If the father has custody, the mother often has to pay child support for the same reason.

Well, this isnt technically true either. More and more often you see dads getting primary or sole custody of kids, but most dissolutions that involve children end up in a joint or shared custody arrangement. This can be implemented in a variety of ways....

America still has an increasing birthrate. Alot of the other western world the birthrate has dropped below the death rate and the populations will go into decline and get older without immigrants to reverse the trend.

Sure, there's plenty of ways to do it.
But it seems the first way is the one most commonly depicted in movies.
Then again, I don't watch many movies.

Movies almost always get things wrong.

If the politician was raised by a divorced mother, no one would treat the politician poorly. If a politician has been divorced, some people might not want to vote for him.
On child support: if both parents do not live together, then we have laws that force the 'away' parent to give money to the parent who raises the child. As well, in the West, it's somewhat possible for a single parent to afford a child because we have government support for single parents and a single parent can often get enough money from their job (though it is tough to do, but not impossible)
Most Americans don't have this view and I felt compelled to have them 10 and 15 years ago but it didn't work out that way.
As my girlfriend and I get older life the more self indulgent we become. This may be difficult for you to understand but my life does not revolve around a child's life. In fact, I would contend my life is happier without them compared to most people I know who do have children. This includes friends with older children and younger children.
Why have children, anyway? And should we have them if you don't feel a biological or emotional urge? If we don't, will we feel those urges later, and regret it? Does having kids make old age less painful? Does choosing not to have children mean we're selfish? Or are those people who choose to have children to fulfill them, or to ease loneliness, or to take care of them in old age, the really selfish ones? Points to ponder.
I thought you argued for 20 of it... or is arguing happiness to you?
I'd say it is for the two of us, we can never get enough of it on these boards.

My wife and I are both Scots/Irish so you figure it out. But to be honest, I dont think we really figured what marriage was about till somewhere in our 12-15 year zone. These days we dont argue very much at all and actually appreciate each other more.
Your so sweet.
I like people that stay married a long time because they either acquire enough assets to have reason for elaborate and expensive estate planning or the divorce has much more in assets at stake when it hits my office. Hopefully, in the case of divorce, there is a quick remarriage for my client with adult children on each side of the new marriage. Estate planning issues galore, plus an eventual ugly and expensive probate process when the step-siblings contest the wills.
For your sake, I sincerely hope your marriage stays intact and I'm sure it will. As a lawyer, I would hate to see the institution of marrriage die - there is too much money to be made from it, so I hope a high percentage of people keep marrying.
