A recent article in the LA Times has renewed debate over whether men or women fare better after the split. I haven’t read the book, but while most research indicates it’s the women who suffer more than the men, “Divorced Dads: Shattering the Myths“, by Arizona State University professor Sanford Braver, aruges the contrary. I think this is a very interesting debate. My question is can you ever prove one way or the other? I guess it depends on how you define “better”.
