Meanwhile I'm divorcing. But *I* left the ex, left him his da*ned house, and took the kids. Now I'm renting a similar house, had to take a second job to pay the bills, but unlike the whiny ex, *I* do what's needed and don't complain. My kids are happy with me. They're grumpy with him. Wonder why.
It's gonna be a b*tch getting him to pay his child support, but I can't wait to see how much they stick him for. Right into the bank ;)

Your message disgusts me. Women like you are the reason so many men won't commit. "Right into the bank". Is that what child support is for - disguised savings?? Disguised alimony? Why not spend it on your damn kids; that's why its called CHILD support, not "I can't wait to see what they stick him for" wife support. If there's justice in the afterlife, you'll get yours...

Ummmm...
Not cool, dude. I put this thread out there to initiate thought and debate (my ex likes to call them "logic bombs"), which up until your post it had. NAME CALLING AND FLAMING ARE NOT NEEDED AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!!!!!! UNDERSTOOD?

Re:Marriage Strike jillieb44: Go ahead and flame me. I stayed home to raise my kids WHILE working part time in order to buy my own clothes and toys for the kids, while my EX earned 5x what I made and spent it all on himself.
Okay, I left him. FINE. And I did what any normal parent would do to support my own kids, I got a NEW JOB and now I'm making MORE than the stupid EX, but that does NOT negate his obligation to support his kids, which is far more than just owning a house and buying groceries.
The man is a stingy b*st*rd and yes, I am looking forward to a judge making him pay child support. Which will be the icing on the cake.
He spent thousands upon thousands for useless crap we didn't need while making his kids get clothing from the Goodwill store or Wal-Mart while he bought new clothes from the mall, bought a huge flat screen TV when the old TV worked just fine, a lawn tractor that cost more than my first new car, etc.
Flame away.

Re:Marriage Strike AloneandCold: Phyxius would you happen to know where they got their statistics? Having just taken a math class where we were talking about statistics in studies and why most of them are wrong I was just curious how they came up with their numbers.
I like to think there are a lot more woman like me out there. I left my husband and after years of putting up with a lot of things (too long of a story to put here) I filed the papers. Not only did I not rake him over the coals, I went out of my way to help him. We have 50/50 legal and physical custody, I set up the schedule so that my children will never go more then two days without seeing their dad. They have exactly equal time between the two of us. I went out of my way to figure out a way for him NOT to pay child support. He makes about three times as much as I do but for all that he does not make enough to just give me money and live too. I am getting food stamps while I finish my schooling and they wanted 330 in child support out of him. I refused to put that in my paper work and did the paper work as such that he ended up with 0 in child support. I actually had my food stamps docked for a few months because of this. I would love to move to Oregon but will not because I will not take my children from their dad or vice versa. When he was going to move to Colorado to be with his GF I was full willing to pack up and move to a nearby city, changing schools and all, so that the kids would be by him. I have and will continue to jump through hoops so that my children will have a complete family even though their dad and I will never be together. If I have to tighten my belt a little bit so that he has enough money to take care of them when he has them (He does not know how to be responsible with money so he needs enough lee way to have some spending money) I will. You may say well he will just learn to do with less, no he won't I was married to him for 8 years I know, my kids would do without and that I will not have. So just remember it doesn't always end that way, sometimes the woman get the short end, and sometimes it is of her choice.
