53. That is not true.

Maybe years ago it was because women had limited financial options and weren't necessarily given a fair shot in divorce court; however, that is no longer the case.

Most splits us ARE when the woman kicks the man out, now. The man would prefer to have his cake and eat it, too. That happens less now that women don't depend on their husbands for financial support.
