<p>It is truly a ridiculous situation. For instance someone my age, 53, a 2 parent family has asset protection of $53,000 while a 1 parent family has only $21,000. Absolutely ludicrouse difference. I could understand if it was $26,500 - at least there is some sort of logic in 50%. If the ‘moral’ police make it this way based on family value issues etc (which I am not saying is ok - just pointing there is more than one way a single parent family comes into existance) do they fail to take into account widows, widowers. We are a 2 parent family but this really shocks me.</p>
