AMP: The Divorce Industrial Complex

It seems that Dr. Mohler makes any effort to from this political alliance between the Far Left and the Christian Right. The logical fallacy of the argument from envy and resentment is something I'm more used to hear from the Far Left.
In his latest blog: "The Divorce Industrial Complex" he points out that a whole industry of government officials, lawyers, judges, social security bureaucracy and counselors formed around the divorce issue.
What he fails to argue is why those people don't deserve the money they currently receive by the divorce-system and how he wants to reduce the amount of money they currently receive.
The lawyers and judges are needed to set how much alimony one partner has to pay after a divorce to the other. To be able to judge on that with some sense of justice you have to be an expert in law - and experts cost money. So it's undeniable that the lawyers and judges who rule those trials deserve an appropriate payment.
It really seems that Dr. Mohler thinks that this payment isn't enough... because additional to those trials over alimony, he would also want the partners who want a divorce have a trial over the question of fault. At least that is what his demand for a fault-divorce would end. Shame is disappearing more and more from our societies and therefor I don't believe that many couples would feel a delicacy about washing all their dirty linen in such a trial about the fault of a divorce. Such trials won't just stretch the nerves of judges and lawyers to the extreme, if the marriage wasn't totally wrecked by the beginning of such a trial - in the end it will. The only ones who will maybe have some entertainment will be the people in the audience of such a trial.
The only ones who could really help a marriage in trouble are counselors who help the couple by mediating between both partners and teaching conflict management. For some reason that I don't really understand many people feel less shame about having a court trial to get their marriage ended than to have some counselor come in and help them to learn how to get around with each other. Perhaps it hurts their pride to have to admit that they need help to solve their problems. Pride is one of the worst guidelines for life.
I know that counseling has a very bad reputation within the conservative Christian community. But when I talk about a counselor that needn't be someone with a PhD in psychology. If the partners prefer to be counseled by a theologian with a focus on biblical marriage counseling than that's fine.
The social security bureaucracy also deserves its money. By the time it has to act on behalf of the good of the child the marriage of the parents is already wrecked. That we don't counsel the couple today how to be good parents even when divorced leads them to hold their child as hostage in an alimony trial.
If counselors would teach the parents in an early stage of the divorce how to be parent to their child even after a divorce we could perhaps really save a lot of money on those child care agencies - but for that we would have to get rid of our resentments towards counseling and mediation.

Having the question of fault return to the divorce issue will be no help whatsoever. If one of the spouses is really determined to leave the marriage than no trial over fault will stop him or her. If you want to make it harder to end a marriage than you should force those spouses through a process of mediation. Unlike a court trial, it keeps the dirty linen out of public and doesn't pose the risk to wreck a marriage once and forever.
