Aus. Expert says men should have mandatory mental assessment after divorces

I'm not adverse to the idea of requiring businesses to arrange for counselling for employees who have been terminated, checking on their mental well-being and working with them to make sure that they have the skills to re-enter the job market.



If people start going on shooting rampages when their dog dies, let me know.



Again, I have no issues with banks being required to provide for counselling on people who have their homes foreclosed on, or landlords when they evict a tenant, and also state provided counselling for those that lose their homes due to disasters or fire.



I'm also not adverse to parenting classes and counselling for first time parents, as well as classes and counselling for mothers post birth to help with any issues and a watch for Post-Natal depression. Here we have the Plunket Society who does a lot of this with new parents and mothers.

Plunket should be mandatory over this IMHO.

Do good work.
 
Divorce plays hard on the emotions and both sides need to rebuild their lives after the split. Money or asset division as well as debts lead to the hardest stresses for most.

If one side tries to take too much, or the other side give too little in the case of kids, it gets very ugly quick.

Then the psychotic ones that do extreme things as revenge or some twisted attempt to hold on. Male or female can be guilty. Both sexes can be the abuser.

The state steps in to make sure daddy gives mommy money for the kids in many places. It tells both to attend classes on how to separate without using the kids as weapons of revenge.
It happens often enough it might be warranted.

Bringing in the new level of intervention this expert suggests goes way past trying to save people from a psychopath. It infringes on the rights of those who have no bad intentions or making everything more difficult for the other. Which I would hope is the larger majority.

And once a database is established who safeguards it against misuse and utter abuse latwr on?

If daddy had a drinking problem at the time of the divorce but later on cleaned up his act, could that old data prevent him from getting a good job or advancing somehow?
Odds are yes. Someone will tap it as a resource and security will be breached.

Today as it is the system is imperfect but at least one isn't considered a criminal before he ponders the crime. Most people are good, try to do the right thing. Don't punish them.

My point in those statistics is that we have a serious problem with domestic violence. I am glad that that we have experts looking for solutions. As, already stated my interest is in the reaction to and framing of these stories.

You say that there is a serious problem with domestic violence and the solution is to bring in state violence? More state violence?

But I think it's worth thinking about, because a divorce is an unusual instance in which a relationship and the people in it subject themselves to a legal context, in which they have less grounds to complain that the involvement of outside parties is gratuitous or intrusive.

And those who don't sign a marriage contract?

What excuse will be **** out to cover those in a relationship but remain unmarried? After all, the goal here is to demand more force and violence into peoples' lives from the state; that's how peace and harmony reign after all... :rolleyes:

Huh?

Do you believe that is this system came into being that the Government would start keeping a database of all divorced men's mental health status? Seems to be what 8enotto was claiming.
