Nothing. I was not a stay at home mother, I was employed full time when I divorced. I live in a state where alimony is usually only awarded to full time homemakers who have no job skills and absolutely no hopes of making useful income in the immediate future. The courts have been known to order them to get job training and get employment ASAP.Ok maybe you women didnt understand......
I said how come when a man and a women get divorced the man has to pay alamony and child support.
When i said free ride... Its after the divorce not during when shes at home taking care of the kids(and i didnt say this wasnt a job i just said it was easy)
I didnt say I want my wife to go to work.... I didnt say I was going to get a divorce.
Just a simple question?????
I dont know about you Cindy but this isnt Muscle Moms first rodeo.
Muscle Mom when you got divorced the first time how much did your husband have to pay in child support and alamony????
I received no child support from my ex. When he got the papers he called me first threatening, then begging me not to file for it, claiming that he couldn't afford the payments and the mortgage (at the time we still owned the house jointly and my mother was on the mortgage). Oh, and I had a loser lawyer, did I mention that? Anyway, since the payments are supposed to be for the kid, I told him to put the money away in a bank account and give it to the kid when he graduated high school. The amount would have been less than $50 a week, my son was nearly 14 when we divorced.
My ex gave my son a whole $500 when he graduated high school. Even if he had put a lousy $10 a week away he could have given the kid over $2,000.
Yeah, I was a fucking moron, mainly I feel like I fucked my son out of some money because I believed his father had scruples, at least where it came to his son. Honestly, I just wanted to be over with it, and there were mitigating circumstances that I don't feel like going into. Put it this way, the ex thought it was funny to drag his feet and keep running up my legal fees. Basically, it ain't only men who get shafted in divorce. What has always pissed me off the most though is the jewelery he stole from me, pieces I'd actually bought for myself and didn't discover missing until I was done moving, and the photographs. I have a grand total of about 30 photos left from a 10+ year marriage. He won't even loan them to me to copy.
