1) Welfare
2) Tax penalties for marriage (marriage tax).
3) Financial support for "divorce friendly" institutions - basically any
left-liberal institution CPB, NPR, various social work organizations
supports divorce because the ideology involved in these organizations is
pro-divorce. (The new pro-family commentators have developed the concept
of "Defining Deviancy Up" by which the Left attacks all traditional
families as cesspools of sexual abuse, etc.)
4) Legal aid for obtaining divorces.
I could probably come up with more...
