player ready...I believe a response is necessary to the recent letter, ”Sometimes divorce is the best cure,” which appears to aggressively attack my earlier letter.
I do not see the logic in the author`s belief that my general desire to protect the institution of marriage and our society and to ensure our children a stable environment lacks compassion. I could understand the criticism that my opinions are idealistic, or that they are pro-father, as I do represent primarily fathers in matrimonial and related cases. I cannot accept, however, the statement that they lack compassion.
I don`t believe, as the writer said, that ”one should stay in a bad marriage because the family unit must be preserved at all costs.” I do not believe that a spouse should be barred from dissolving his or her marriage under any and all circumstances.
Presently, a couple in Illinois can divorce simply on the basis of irreconcilable differences, which does not even require the showing of fault. Philosophically, I oppose this concept. But I do accept divorce under fault-based grounds, such as physical cruelty or adultery.
The writer also stated, ”Does he really believe that honesty and bitterness contribute to a stable environment? Is spouse abuse a healthy model for a child?” I sincerely hope she does not believe that I stated this in my letter. I suggest she sit down and calmly read it again.
