I recently ran across an article published by British researcher Cecile Bourreau Dubois that concludes men who stay married invariably end up poorer than those who leave their spouse or live-in partner. Ms. Dubois based her results on interviews with more than 75,000 adults in 11 different European Union countries.
Assuming the woman is awarded custody, the study found that a man's wage will increase ahead of inflation with support payments quickly falling behind. The support payments become less and less consequential because of a man's earning capacity.
What do you think? Do men fare better in a divorce than women?
