[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is absolutely the right thing to do. Many countries have punitive legislation which overwhelmingly affects the father and prevent them to support another family. Divorce should not be a career.

This seems to be from before: "Children must be   supported until they become financially independent (25% of   the  annual   income  per  one child  is   generally  considered  an average  support amount)."

That was total insanity [b]which probably was the dominant factor behind Italy's 1.3 fertility rate[/b]. Single mothers with one child and father unable to have another go at building a family.

I've been told by Italians that the main reason for the falling fertility rate is that they just don't like kids, and children end up being more of a burden than anything.

I don't blame them. When I'm in Italy, all I want to do is eat, drink, and screw. Kids would definitely put a damper on that. [/quote]
