Having economic shackles as the only incentive to keep two unhappy people together for longer than necessary seems like a terrible environment in which to raise happy and healthy children. Having experienced that as a child, it was miserable and set me up with unhealthy ideas about relationships. Might as well make divorce illegal again. After all, something nicer might come along. If the only thing holding your marriage together is needing to pay the bills or a judge, being forced to stay together only serves to make people like you feel righteous. Your comment makes me wonder about what other unhealthy ideas about relationships you want to force upon others. Perhaps you should spend less time on r/MRAs and r/TheRedPill. > So with everyone getting free money, including the children, there is no need for a father to take care of the family when he decides to diforce, right? Having to pay child care costs and alimony above the poverty line are things that exist now and will have reason to exist even if a BI is implemented.
