Ben Carson calls for making divorce harder
Carson, who is often mentioned as a potential Trump VP, writes in his new book that the U.S. should end no-fault divorce laws.

FTA - “The reason this matters is that no-fault divorce legally allows marriages to end much more quickly than in previous decades. When there are relatively few legal or financial consequences connected with divorce, it’s natural for people to gravitate toward that option when their marriage hits a rough patch,” he adds. “What those people often don’t consider, however, is the harm — both present and future — inflicted on their children once a divorce is finalized.”
This dude is a moron. Newsflash mr carson, having kids trapped in a nightmare where their parents are at war with one another is way more harmful. And what the fuck is he talking about "with few financial consequences"? As someone who just finally paid off credit cards from my divorce years ago, where I never even got to touch the card, he can kiss my ass.
Not to mention some of us don't have kids nor want any lul. Carson a fucking bozo.
Surely he wouldn’t have such legislation apply to couples without children.
Of course not. For that he'll propose legislation mandating married couples produce kids.
I'd be curious as to what kind of "legal consequences" he thinks there should be as a result of divorce? WTAF, why would there be ANY?
And, as you say, from everything I've heard, divorce can be financially crippling for so many.
Very good point. Being stuck in a marriage that's unwanted or abusive can be a prison all it's own. Does he want to add to that? Nothing like someone with a holier than thou attitude believing that his ideas of reality need to be forced onto everyone.
Yeah, I’m still fucked up by my parents not divorcing
