Could someone explain to me why/how divorce ends up delivering such fate? Do these citizens in these countries think these laws around divorce are fair?

  This is a complicated topic. Marriages dissolve for many reasons. In general, though, western society has embraced a view of marriage that combining view with a coupling view. No longer are married people “as one” but rather a couple mutually supporting each other. While this doesn’t seem like a difference, it has major implications in pretty much all aspects of life.

  From the article: "the cost of housing in Sydney, Australia and sole-income was a leading factor in the dissolution of the relationship" Whatever opinions you have about divorce law aside, it's a simple fact that if housing was already a difficult expense, it gets much harder when one family becomes two.

  Same as people owning a property .. messy split up, probably selling the previous 'house' and having to find a safe spot somewhere. The van part doesn't seem the main factor.
