Things like 'huge', 'a lot', ' a little' are way too subjective and refer to opinions rather than facts.

It seems to me that you're not arguing very well for your case. It's up to you to convince us of a better system. Not up to us to do our damnedest to understand you.
With all due respect you obviously haven't bothered to read the posts. The pros are listed, the cons and the cost. So much for you trying your damnedest.

Our current system has 10.4 million divorces a year at a cost of $30 billion. (see page 1)

What I propose is: (page 1, 2 for pros)
1. We can still get married (via churches, etc). Marriage contracts stating the use of arbitration rather than courts.
2. We can still have wedding ceremonies, exchange rings and say we're married
3. We can choose to change our last name for a fee.
4. When divorcing it can be checked off as "no contest dissolving of divorce" or "arbitration required". Lawsuits can be used under certain rare conditions

I don't know if all $30 billion could be save but possibly $20 billion could I would image.

If you disagree with my view, thats fine but don't peruse half heartedly and then say its up to me to convince you when you haven't bothered to read the posts.

Now with my retribution attitude I'm sure you'll disagree with my point no matter. No worries though.
