Abuse in a system with State imposed terms vs. the system with voluntary agreements (pre-nups)

Dr. Carl Sagan “Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used.” The first two points ot this oppossition’s argument, may be answered with a simple assertion: The other team didn’t gather enoguh information about the topic, or maybe they just forgot to mention how things really are. This is because divorce procedures are not as simple as the other side wants them to appear, they are though proceses which require a serious investigation and a meticuolus criteria from the tribunal. Also the law is not the same in each country even in each state or city, so the 50 – 50 argument used by the opposition is not representative, and can not be taken seriously because of the vague of its approximiation. Instead, we would like to mention that “Most states will exclude from this division any property that was acquired prior to the marriage or that was acquired via gift or inheritance”[[http://family.findlaw.com/divorce/divorce-decision/what-can-divorce-do.html]]. We believe that this last statement reveals that there is much more information than the one the opposition has been presentig during this debate, and that in most of the times they omit the most important part of it, so a pertinent question right now would be: Which of the opposition’s argument can be taken seriously (despite from the fact that some of them are unsustainable and irrelevant)? And referring to the second part of the argument which states that people have the right to make their own mistakes in pursuit for their own happiness, we insist in the fact that the opposition is just taking into account the most beningn case (which is very difficult to take place). In the reality, those mistakes commited by one of the persons end up ruining its entire life, because of the signifcance of the relation, the mistakes commited and the assets lost, is this the way of finding happiness? The other team does not mention that the process may affect not only the couple, what about if they have children for example? Would it be fair to sacrifice the children integrity and development just because of a mis calculation (also called error) at the time of making the arrangement? That is the reason because of which the intervention of the state is hended, for assuring fairness in an issue that would otherwise be solved by personal judgments which do not take into account the whole perspective. We would like to highlight that the opposition has not mentioned the importance of justice, instead they have chosen to amke of freedom their insignia value, but they have not mentioned the whole thing. Freedom is dependant of justice itself. Why? Because the right of election (freedom) is based upon the often individual principle of seeking an internal equilibrium (justice), thus we may say that in order for freedom being important a person must have the necessity to seek the conditions which fullfill the assumption previously described, if this was not to hapen then there would not be election at all. As a matter of fact justice is often represented with a balance, which men seek to mantain in balance by the means of taking decissions. Having said this, we might do well by mentioning once more that it is the impartiality of institutions that assure and protect the true essence of justice. The opposition’s argument has proven nothing.
