Sir Paul Coleridge: 'End the scourge of divorce' - Telegraph
Sir Paul Coleridge will formally establish the Marriage Foundation, an independent charity that will champion the institution of marriage as the "gold standard for relationships".
It is unusual for a serving judge to speak out in such a way but Sir Paul, who sits in the Family Division, has been outspoken on the issue of marriage and divorce. Last year, he suggested that people needed to re-educate themselves about the value of stable relationships for the good of society and warned that getting a divorce was easier than getting a driving licence.
IMO it is worse for children to stay in a bad atmosphere where there is continual argument. Of course in an ideal world married couples with kids would get on. And no-one would die of hunger. And everyone on cuk would get on.
What Sir Paul could do is to speak out against the adversorial family court system. The more bitter the divorce the more lawyers make. Its a bit like finding your house is on fire and call the fire brigade who turn up and pour napalm on it.
