host: colleen, thanks for the call. mona charen, we will begin with you. guest: i have a different view of the divorce laws and alimony. i actually think that the movement towards no-fault divorce was not an advantage for women. what happened is that both no-fault divorce and treating mothers and fathers as absolutely equivalent when it came to child custody decisions meant, as david frum pointed out in his book, how we got here, that it gave men, that is, husbands who were divorcing, more power within the relationship. they could threaten to contest for custody of the children and sort of force their wives to accept less in alimony thereby, and sure enough that is what happened. alimony went down after the introduction of no-fault divorce. so it was definitely a mixed picture, and so many of the couples that have divorced, and we have data on this, about 2/3 of annual divorces are from couples who have wind the en the divorce is initiated no open conflict, no serious conflict. once the divorce process gets going, it sometimes reaches that level. but divor
