He says he is encouraged by “at least 1,000'” sympathizers in California and “hundreds” elsewhere in the nation, and adds be has begun the initial mailing of membership applications for his new organization.
It is called United States Divorce Reform, Inc. (USDR), and was chartered Nov. 20. 1961, by the California secretary of state.
Kidd contends that divorce laws in many states encourage marital breakups by making them easy, if not downright profitable for women. He is not opposed to divorce, but he favors enforcing “responsibility” on the female partner.
USDR was conceived early last year in a Sacramento attorney's office. There, Kidd learned that his wife's divorce action would enrich her by $22,500, or half his total wealth.
He started modestly with letters to the editors of local newspapers, and said he gradually found supporters in California, Nevada. Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and the Panama Canal Zone.
Kidd said most supporters are men like himself who believe themselves victimized, by a divorce settlement, but he said “many, many” women had written to him.
Kidd said that USDR would seek changes in current law with the usual political tools: letter writing, lobbying, financial support for sympathetic candidates. Basically, Kidd wants:
—Community property laws that give each partner the property that he or she brought to the marriage.
—Eventual abolition of alimony.
—Recognition of a father's equal right to custody of the children, based on the father's equal ability to use modern child care services.
