None of those reasons are valid. Not one.
^ There go one now, reacting to the headline, refusing information that goes against the zeitgeist around here. So your argument amounts to, "Nuh UH!"?
And what's your argument against the law? It does nothing to stop a woman from getting away from her husband. The only thing it stops is finalizing the divorce before the above questions are answered.
If you were the woman, wouldn't you rather wait to sign on the dotted line so there's no risk of relitigating anything listed above? As a single mother, you're likely in a bad spot. Want to go back to court, over and over? Or even once? It's painful. I know.
Pick one argument you made that you think is the best, and I'll show you why it's erroneous.
And no, I wouldn't want to wait. I've been the woman in this scenario. I was three months pregnant when my husband physically attacked me. You need a swift legal end. It's easy to write a divorce agreement that deals with situations that don't yet exist. Most every single one deals with at least a few. (When the house sells, at retirement age, when taxes are due, etc.) Why not when a baby is born?
Until that line is signed by a judge, men like my husband continue to drag you back because they think they own you under the law.
Your arguments sound great to anyone who hasn't actually been in that situation. But every one of them can be addressed without forcing a woman to stay married to her abuser.
