Hey "aristotle" (I'm guessing nobody calls you that in real life for a REASON)
Look, when a marriage breaks down, for whatever reason, the children need to be looked after.. so, what happens is a judge looks at financials and tries to make it right.
The Venn diagram of men who whine about divorce being unfaaaiiirrr and men who refuse to hire a divorce lawyer (because they already know everything and think things will be fine if they just throw a few peanuts at their ex once in a while) is a circle.
taking “everything” generally means taking 50% while being saddled with 95% of the parenting labor in exchange for $750 a month child support
And no matter how well she cares for his children, if she EVER dares to do something nice for herself like a manicure or a vacation it came from “his” money
Yep. In the entirety of all civilizations since the advent of marriages and divorces, never has there been a SINGLE instance where the man won the holdings. Never ever. Not one.
Aristotle... was "Fucking Dumbass" already taken?
What this dude is describing is what was historically the case for a lot of women.
Their husband would take EVERYTHING she owned the moment they got married and could drop her like a piece of paper whenever. Leaving her with nothing.
That's not what happens today to men who get divorced tho.
All the single mothers living in a shitty rental, getting no child support or a ridiculously tiny amount, and can't even get their exes to remember a kid's birthday have entered the chat.
Answer: marry some you genuinely love and like to be around. Equal housework/child care. Learn her love language because she knows yours. Do not drop the ball after marriage. Foreplay is sex and non-negotiable. Learn about peri/menopause. Learn her hormone rhythms, she knows yours. Cook. Listen.
7 will get you 12 that he doesn't have any problem with women having no power in a marriage, and the husband's being able to leave her with no education, no work history, and no means or way to support herself.
It is really, deeply strange the number of dudes convinced that alimony is a common thing (the kid thing is SLIGHTLY more understandable, but that is primarily driven by dudes who don't contest it not courts automatically awarding children to mothers.)
yes, they do, which is why they have to be sued, and have their wages garnished to pay it. My daughters bio dad sued for custody so he could stop paying. When he was losing, he said it was because they denied visitation (they didn't) . He showed up for 2 visitations after that then disappeared....
They hate women for child support, but states impose a pretty fixed formula for child support based on the father's income. It's state law, and it's based on how much it actually costs to feed and care for children. Too bad they're not rational enough to get that.
These are probably the same men that think it is totally acceptable to leave their old family because she became too old or frigid and not support them at all.
What is nauseating is that men who talk like this are generally living in luxury themselves. Well off men who aren't suffering in the slightest from child support or even alimony whine like they're living on gruel in a shack. Less wealthy men CAN'T be taken for what they do not have. FFS.
Some women leave marriages and get some things awarded, other women leave and get brutally murdered, possibly their children too.
No woman just drops her husband without care and anxiety- unless u married someone with no common sense, & possibly a bit deranged!
"I told the judge, I said 'Fair's fair: she gets to keep the kids, I get to keep the house and money,' I said. 'That's fair,' I said, ’just like they did in olden times,' I said, but he wouldn't listen to reason.
"I blame feminism."
The narrative that women leave whenever they want is a popular idea but it is not observed in reality.
When .y dad first became a lawyer he worked in family law and the sheer amount of his clients who had husbands just walk out was staggering. Some men in his case files have a demon's resume.
Especially since men who do not have much money or property are usually only paying child support for their own children. Which is for the children it isn't for the wife like alimony. Alimony is for the wealthy and upper middle class. These men are losers. Many have cheated or much worse, btw.
