From my own perspective, I watched a friend of mine go through a rather lukewarm divorce. She didn’t take half his stuff, but he has to pay alimony and child support, and he only sees his kids in the weekends and on holidays, and can take them on a vacation.
The result of this on his kids were breathtaking. Over the last year his kids went from loving their Dad to resenting that they have to go be with him. Their grades in elementary school have deteriorated – his son went from getting all As to nearly flunking the 5th Grade, because his Dad wasn’t around to make him do his homework, and she wasn’t doing anything to do that.
And she isn’t keeping her house in order either. We went to pick up his kids to go take them to an aviation museum and it was an abject mess. When they were married, the house was always spotless.
