I'd like to see the official answer to this question myself. The bottom line has to be this: if she truly won't follow, then she doesn't have to. He has no way to compel her; he can only persuade. Indeed, all of the legal forms of coercion are effectively reserved to her. She can tell him to change, or be divorced; she keeps his children and his paycheck, he's out in the cold. He can make no such credible threat. I don't imagine that PK spends much time discussing this worst-case scenario, in part because it doesn't often arise. It appears that the great majority of PK wives *like* the new arrangement. -- Scott A.
