3) There are no “sides” when it comes to giving a get. If they’ve mutually decided to end the marriage, have divided their assets, and have been living separately, there can be NO reason whatsoever to withhold a get.

Sure, if there is nothing left to negotiate, there can be no reason to withhold a get. But suppose he is alleging that she molests the kids and using that as leverage to get custody? Mightn’t it be ok for her to refuse a get as leverage agaisnt him?

There certainly are “sides” in divorce.
