QuoteThe study found that after a divorce, parents move apart, household income falls, parents work longer hours, families move more frequently and households relocate to poorer neighborhoods with less economic opportunity, leading to children's long-term struggles to recover financially and socially.

"These changes in family life reveal that rather than an isolated legal shock, divorce represents a bundle of treatments—including income loss, neighborhood changes and family restructuring—each of which might affect children's outcomes," wrote the authors of the working paper made available by the U.S. Census Bureau, including Associate Professor Nolan Pope of UMD's Department of Economics, Andrew C. Johnston at the University of California, Merced and Maggie R. Jones of the Census Bureau.

"I f–king know everything," Galante says in the footage. "That's right, b–ch, I know everything. I know all about the Plan B pills you had to take, you filthy f–king whore.

"Don't act like you don't f–king know," he told his shrugging wife.

QuoteA nationwide survey of 1,600 employees found that women now work almost 34 hours a week on average - half a day longer than the figure of 30.4 hours five years ago.

Over the same five-year period, men's average work hours fell from 45.5 hours per week to 44.8 hours, although among the hardestworking males the number putting in more than 49 hours a week has passed the three million mark.

Separate research from the Office of National Statistics shows the average salary gap between men and women has grown from 18 per cent to 19 per cent over the past three years - largely because of disproportionate pay rises among senior bosses, more of whom are male.

QuoteThere is no one-size-fits-all prenuptial agreement. Some dictate the distribution of the couple's assets or payment of maintenance upon divorce. Others protect assets from being touched. For those who intend to start a family, provisions on arrangements for children may also be included.

This growing acceptance of prenuptial agreements seems to be motivated by a desire for certainty and assurance – that it is more desirable for couples to agree on important matters before entering into marriage, rather than allowing them to become a potential source of disappointment or acrimony down the road.
