68% of women were granted divorce according to
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=170http://archives.cnn.com/2000/HEALTH/03/15/divorce.suicide.wmd/index.html"Typically, the man is shocked at the news that he's going to be divorced," said Baraff, noting that women initiate the majority of divorce proceedings. "The woman has also been dropping hints all over the place for the man, but he just doesn't get it. He never thinks it's as bad as she does. He's lost not only a wife, he typically loses his children, home, and money."

"England is now seen as the most generous country in Europe for women getting divorced. The sympathy shown by English judges for women has attracted thousands of wives from other countries to London to have their divorce cases heard here."

There is no doubt that men are often seriously disadvantaged by the divorce system as it stands at present although there are indications that this is gradually changing. Seven out of ten divorce petitions are instigated by women who usually cite unreasonable behaviour as their reason for getting divorced. Many men (and women as well) are taken completely by surprise when they are told that their nearest and dearest wants them out of their life.
The financial aspects of divorce are often the most difficult and stressful to deal with. Perhaps the best way to approach this is to get expert advice on your divorce finances as early as possible in the divorce process.
Legal costs and divorce
It is often the case that a non working wife will be in receipt of legal aid while her working soon-to-be-ex husband has to pay at least double for his own legal costs because he has to fund his divorce solicitor from his own pocket.
A good number of men come out of the divorce process feeling angry and embittered at what they perceive as the unfairness of proceedings that may have forced them out of the marital home while continuing to support their children.
Care of the children after divorce
The wife is more often than not given primary care of the children and the husband may well lose regular and meaningful contact with them. after a divorce.
The feelings of anger and bitterness can be exacerbated if the wife has had an affair and the husband places the blame for the marriage breakdown on the wife. He may well feel that this perceived fault should be taken into account and be reflected in any arguments about the financial settlement in the divorce.
Childcare, residency and contact are other areas where men can be seen to be disadvantaged both during and after divorce, with seemingly little account taken of a father's need to see his children and to keep in close contact with them. Tales of women manipulating and denying contact to fathers are, sadly, not uncommon and the courts appear disinclined to assist even where there is clear evidence that fathers are being unfairly treated."
