Divorced dad, anecdote. My kids, my ex, and I are much better off now. Having the kids around 50% time is a huge sanity boost and allows me to be there for them more than before. I’m lucky to have remarried to a very engaged stepmom, but even without her we’d probably still be better off.

I also saw my parents become much happier after they split up (when I was an adult.)

I'll add a +1 to this as the kid of parents who divorced (when I was about 11). Home went from being an unpleasant place to be to being a nice place again. It is horrible to feel stuck between two people who don't want to be there.

It was one of the best things that happened for me. And my parents.

100% of the problems this article is bemoaning are because of lack of financial support. The top needs to stop hoarding all the money.
