Summary: | When 50 percent of marriages end in divorce and 43 percent of children are left with one parent, everyone is affected: uncles, aunts, grandparents, and friends, but mostly the children. The devastation from our divorce practices is our most public secret scandal. Everyone whispers it, the whispers never acknowledged. It seems that as long as a villain can be created, society is content. After three decades of research universally pointing to more productive options, why does Custody-Access-Support remain? Why are the facts ignored? Why do so many still insist it is natural or obvious? This book examines divorce customs in the context of our culture as a whole. In this light, the distortions become clear, as do the answers, which are much closer at hand than most think.
