just thought i'd start a thread for talking about divorce stuff. years ago the popular view of divorce was that of the rich man leaving his wife to run off with a younger woman -- his ex-wife was left behind with no home, no money, etc.

times have changed, though, and so have laws. in the past 10-20 years, the "victims" of divorce are increasingly men, especially fathers.

discuss amongst ya'selves.

.... simple ... let's establish a quota system just like they do for anything else ... divy up the kids equally ... keep the kids in the same house .... let the parents alternate weeks that they spend with the kids at that house and make both parents work at least 40 hours a week to pay the bills afterwards - cancel their marriage contract and in lieu of bind them to a parental contract .... to which if they don't abide, they spend their off-weeks in jail .....

- y'all a bunch of sm@rt@sses ... it could have happened to any of us ... 🙂

p.s. No gripes here 'bout getting divorced - my 'new' wife & I have been together now for over 8 years and the boys (one hers, one mine) have been raised together since ages 3 & 4 - they're 6 months apart and don't even remember life without the other ... they know they're 'only' step-brothers, however, they're the ones that omit the 'step' factor. I was miserable with the -ex primarily because she is a miserable person in general and in reference to the other posts ... yep - I was the one that was abused in that marriage - both verbally & physically ... and like stated - ya' think I was about to call the cops on her? NOT!!! I've seen where men HAVE called the cops on their wife for abuse only to get themselves removed from the residence and charged with domestic violence only because they 'raised their hands' to block her from making contact ... it's easier to just file for divorce and let it be ... those type of women eventually get theirs - because they're miserable for the rest of their lives and even worse when they can't find someone else to abuse ....

Yep. My Ex came after Me with a knife one evening. When I called the cops they said until She actually cuts Me up they can't do anything. And they had Me leave for the night.

Sleep deprivation is another good one. As I later found out My Ex was putting the house payment up Her nose. She could get good and cranked up and keep after Me all night.

yeaup. My wife had committed herself in an institution, been taken to the hospital by me for alcohol poisoning, was on a myriad of anti-depressants, had attempted suicide before our marriage (I found out later), and other even bigger nasties in her past. And it doesn't matter. Unless you can prove that they are currently smoking crack nightly, they get the kid(s). It isn't fair. If you're a good father it should be joint "period". And I’m a good father. And what’s up with a percentage of your income for child support? They’re probably going to ask me to pay in excess of 2,000 a month. I’m sorry, it doesn’t cost that for her to raise my son. The excess will go to dinners with her new boyfriend? Clothes? A gym membership? A car payment? How in the fuc! Is that fairness? While I bust my ass for the next 17 years? It’s just wrong…

And oh, I agree with Jimmy, I agree with Jimmy, I agree with Jimmy, I agree with Jimmy, I agree with Jimmy, I agree with Jimmy, I agree with Jimmy...

First let me say I agree with everything jimmy said, said, said, said, said, said etc, etc, etc, (ok I think that horse is dead now)

Fortunatley for me in the State of Confusion, er I mean Arnoldfornia, is a no fault state. Doesn't matter who did what to who, why or what for or anything in between. If the two parties can play nice long enough to agree on the spacifics,(luckily we never purchased a home) pay $146.00, fill out mounds of paper work send it in, it gets stamped, adios. Child support is based on income and percentage of the time the children are with each parent. For me custody is 50/50 and she made more than me so she pays. Although we are waiving that since its only about $50.00 a month. No lawyers invovled. Well It does help when your new significant other is a paraleagl.

Now, what I would bitch about is that my ex has no real semblance of actual brain function or the ability to cope with anything outsdie of the disfuctional box she exists in. I wish she would leave Ms. Dragon and I alone, leave the kids with us, quite giving the kids HER issues with whats going on, even tho its been almost 4 years (She and her siblings hated their step families for no apparent reason other than they had no coping skills) and fall off the face of the earth with all of her control issues and her inability to deal with reality.

And I really did smoke a Bucanero once.
