Finances, In-Law Troubles Cause More

- Divorces. Than ‘Other Woman,’ Judge Says SN By IRVING LEIBOWITZ = ~ WATCH OUT FOR in-laws, financial worries, religious din: | agreements and political differences—if you want to stay Married |

for keeps. .

That's the advice of Judge Ralph Hamiil, one of six Marin | County jurists who ruled on more than 4500 divorce cases’ here

last year.

The judge blamed a “general |

breakdown” code for the high divorce rate,

“The jazz age with its fast.

tempo reflected the uncertain marital relations,” he said. “But today we are moving toward a

calmer period which we hope | FIVE —Deyidlop common ini

will bring more staple marriages.” The “other woman" smashes fewer marriages than the public suspects, tha judge asserted.

He blamed the movies, maga- | zines and newspapers for “play- |

ing up” faithlessness as failure, of most marriages, » Fo»

the

FINANCIAL problems, Judge Hamill said, are the root of the

vast majority of marital dimculties,

“Take away money worries |

and you take away the biggest | 1

pitfall in marriage,” the judge believes, But another marriage “trap” youngsters fall into, the judge sald. is moving in with in-laws, “This is the easiest mistake to make,” he claims, “and per: haps the worst.” } The judge related the story of the religious girl who told her mother she couldn't marry her boy friend because he was an atheist and didn't believe in hell, “Oh, don't let that werry you, Marry him and I'll help you teach him he is wrong.” Judge Hamill quoted the mother as replying. r ” »r

- One mother-in-law, be said, insisted on going on the honeymoon and the other demanded

that the couple keep thelF bed- |

room door open at all times. The fMmdge said men and women of opposite political beHefs might develop trouble if they happen fo be red hot politiclans,

He said the problem demanded a “scientific approach” and urged betrothed couples to

Age plays an important role |

on the marital stage, Judge Hamill pointed out. For the most part, husbands should be a few years older than wives, he sald, as women mature much faster than their mates, ~ » rr SOME PEOPLE, he disclosed, marry for a lot of tihngs other than love. One woman testified In court that she married her husband because she wanted a man to fire the furnace. The marriage broke up when her husband refused, Judge Hamill emphasized that reconciliations are frequent even after men and women file for divorce, But sometimes, he said, the grievance has reached such proportions ft Is virtually impossible to patch up the mar-

riage. «. wu =

JUDGE HAMILL and the other Superior Court jurists say they make every effort to < #ffect a reconciliation before granting a divorce. On his desk, Judge Hamill keeps a few lines of verse ment to him by his English teacher at Tech High. School, Miss

followed the judge's career ever |

since he left her classroom. The verse reads; “This day is almost done. When the night and morning meet it will be only an unalterable memory. So let no unkind

word, no careless doubting thought, no guilty secret, no neglected duty, no wisp of |

Jealous fog becloud its passing.” “If things have gone awry, let neither of us lift an accusing finger. Who Is to blame Is not important; only how we set the situation right.” » » » JUDGE HAMILL, who noted that almost as many people get divorced in Marion County every vear as get married, offered some tips for men and

women who want to get mare
