Wow, lots of emotions here. I got divorced 2 years ago. Got 3 boys ages 15, 16 & 21. I have made all my support payments, but do I agree with them? Hell no. Sorry but it's just the way I was brought up. I have 4 sisters, all college educated, all professionals making between $75K-200K each. All self sufficient, but all married raising 2-3 kids each. All their husbands also work, alltwo income families. There is WAY to much emphasis on the OLD DAYS bymodern daylaws and judges.Knock, knock.........Hellllllo. Newsflash............This is NOT 1950 ANY MORE.Like it or not, roles have changed. Household tasks are shared more each year. All my brother-in-laws and myself contributed HEAVILY in cooking, cleaning, changing diapers (thousands for me), laundry, etc., etc., etc. In many cases I was left at home with my kids when my wife went out with her friends. On top of this I coached all 3 of my kids baseball, basketball and soccer teams for 13 years while my wife sat on her a$$ at the house watching Jerry Springer and eating bon-bons......flushing her career plans down the drain afterour youngestwas inschool full time. All this while I had a home business and was there for my kids every day off the school bus. Shedid not follow what we discussed when we got married. She later preferred vacationing 3 months every year with her mom in Texas.

The ex never touched our yard in 20 years. No flowers, nothing. I mowed, trimmed, edged, planted, cleaned, etc. I walked the dog every day, although after the divorce never got her one day. She embezzled money from my business, lied about any menial work she did for me. Hid money from the courts via her attorney BIL. The ex took her 4 year college degree anddays before the final hearinggot herself a job just before the judge made her. She now makes a whopping 1/5th of what I do, and Iby no means make much. Average for my education and age. Thanks to Indiana law she takes a full 1/3rd of my paycheck, and I am broke. I also got screwed by judges on 3 small claims cases with regard to my only rent house, whichsubsequently forced me to sell it. I have no respect for any judges nor attorneys, nor their laws.Respect is earned, not awarded, like theyseem to think. I hold nothing against any dad whocan't meetcourt payments until I know all the facts. Hell, my wife illegally pocketed thousands from my earnings. She should be using that to pay for my kid's expenses. I'm not going to judge other's situations.

After over a year alone, thanks god I found a gem on FriendFinder. Self-sufficient, beautiful, hard working. The same work ethics, and more, than I was raised women should have.We share the same modern times values. I am home again for the first time in 22 years. She feeds my kids healthy foods, unlike my ex's Market Day crapolla from the high school. I get my kids for 6 weeks starting Thursday! They are going to get a good lesson in the reality of 2008.

Oh, by the way, after dating the g/f for 9 months she told me she owns the compnay she works at, and it's worth over 10 million $. True. It doesn't matter to me though because I won't let her buy me anything. I actually have pride, unlike thewelfare ex.
