The other got transferred to a smallish town and met an adorable local girl, they dated for a year, got married, then she got pregnant a year later. 3 years together, she gives birth(cesarean). Doctor gave her some pain pills and then everything changed. They started fighting, money started going missing, then she started going missing for hours, then days...until a relative knocked on his door to tell him where to find her. He goes to the hood and knocks on the door for a guy to answer and say 'take your wife we're tired of fricking her'

She ended up having a addiction problem but had cleaned herself up, and no one told him because they didn't want to ruin things for her. When she got a taste again, it was over.


If that dude went on a murderous rampage throughout that entire town and I'm on the jury, I'm not sure I could convict.

Every once in a great while you will see a husband in a divorce that is bat shite crazy. However, vast majority of the time it is the wife. Husbands just want to get it over. Wives want to cut off his genitals and run them up the flag pole in front of court house.

The real screwed over husbands are those with a female child who sides with mom. Even worse than that is a step daughter.

Women can love more than men and their capacity for hate and revenge is virtually unlimited.

Family courts have ruined marriage. They incentivize the women to leave. If they leave they get the kids and monthly pay checks. If they stay they have to put-up with husbands small annoyances every day.

Government ruins everything.

Make no mistake. The system is STACKED against men in divorce and child custody proceedings. Without a doubt. Guilty until proven innocent. Almost all judges think children living with their mother is in the best interest of the child, which is discriminatory at best.

Amen to this!

I won custody of both my kids which speaks volumes since I'm a man but in good faith I agreed to the kids living 7 days at my house and 7 days at my ex's house. Things were pretty smooth for the first couple of years. Eventually I remarried and my ex wife caused so much drama and manipulated my daughter to the point that we basically don't speak anymore. I pretty much pay for everything concerning the kids albeit my ex and I earn similar type salaries. My ex filed a lawsuit against me and I'm not really even sure what she sued me for. I spent 5K to defend myself and the week before we go to court my ex dropped the case. There needs to be a law that requires people to pay your legal fees and time for frivolous lawsuits.

Bottom line OP divorce sucks for the kids but the older I get the more I realize that there sure are a lot of crazy people out there in this world. There is nothing worse than a scorned butt hurt woman and divorce can bring out the worst in people.

It really is. I can’t count my horror stories.

I will say this, I have/had a millionaire friend that was a nice guy but shitty father and husband. He just loved work and money too much.Wife wasn’t overly receptive to him going to every Texas and Cowboys game, and military benefit and leaving her with 3 kids every weekend. So she wasn’t very interested in the bedroom.

Cheated on his wife and left her for the side piece. He and side piece broke it off and he was hitting random strange regularly and seeing his kids two weekends a month. That’s all he wanted.

In that situation I hope she screws him in the courts.theyve since reconciled but I had no sympathy at the time.

Sometimes it's what you can prove to your kids, of course if your the honest one.

The courts might beat you up and it may take a while to prove it to your kids (based on their age) but the truth will come out.

I documented all I could and wrote it all down. I'll never use it but without it no telling what I would be up against. My ex cooperates 100% fairly

My ex is such a lying manipulative POS. the only reaosn I am willing to agree to split custody is because I grew up in a broken home and know what it's like. I'm a FIRM believer in equal time with both parents.

She got caught cheating and got left, but refuses to agree to anything but 5/2 split her way. We have no agreement at the moment and the county has custody cases unheard from 2014 it's so backed up. Most days on "my week" it's a race to see who gets the kid from school first. It's cost me over 7500 so far and I'm nowhere near close to being done. In the end it will go split, and I know her lawyer has told her that but she chooses to counter parent rather than be a team and raise our child.

I sincerely wish that all cases were mandatory split custody until ruled otherwise. This is ridiculous.

I hate, hate, hate family law. We have probably spent upwards of 75k over the last 10 years fighting my stepson's mother for custody. She's severely bipolar and an addict. It's a miracle she's still alive with all of her suicide attempts, drug problems and terrible health. The cost is much higher if you include the weeks and weeks my husband had to take off of work to appear in court. Let's add my stepson's mother's legal fees and the amount of money the lawyers and courts have taken that this kid would have enjoyed whatever benefits he could have had the money been spent elsewhere or invested is VERY high! Fricking sickening.

nb4 X a million, the FC laws are biased in favor of those in possession of a vagina, and during these proceedings the counts will pull every dirty trick in the book(coached by their cohort counselors and attorneys,) and then invent a couple of new ones, the guy will get hosed, and pay for it all

I finally will have my day in court in November after serving my ex with contempt. I had her served last December. Yet if I miss a child support payment I guarantee my arse will be in front of judge with a quickness.

I don't want to say much until our case is heard but her attorney used every trick in the book to keep delaying it thinking I'll give up. Even better is she continued to shoot herself in the foot. My case against her is even stronger now than it was almost a year ago.

You're right about how it changes people. It's going on almost two years and my ex acts like I'm the most evil person to walk the planet. All because I did not want to buy her a Tahoe and move to New Orleans. The latter especially because the time we did live in New Orleans, we spent every waking moment with her a-hole parents. It's cute when you're in your twenties sweetheart but you're a few years removed from 40, time to grow up dear.

i knew a shite load of men, who worked at chrysler, who basically lived in basement, and every friday, handed the wife his paycheck.

All he cared about was seeing his kids and being a big part of their lives.

He knew, if he tried to file for divorce, he would lose, and get to see his kids 1/4th of the time.

that sucks, but that's exacerbating the situation, when you cut the money off is when you get their attention

This is a big part of the problem. The system is stacked against you so much, you'll do anything to see your kids.

My ex has done everything she can to alienate me from my children. When this started, she kept me from seeing them the following father's day. Anything that I buy or my parents buy for the kids she throws away and destroys. The computer I built for my son she destroyed. She will say things like I'm a bad father and that her brothers will "get me" in front them.

Funny part is that her own brothers don't put up with their bullshite. I doubt they'd try to get me cause they're not brave enough to try me.

Feminism has ruined the institution of marriage for men. I'm a two-time loser and will never do it again.

First time I got married well I was 26 and I guess it was just time! Second one honestly was to show my ex-wife that I fricking upgraded from her. That didn't work out at the time either but I'm actually seeing ex wife B again now and have been for years...and we'll never get married again.

Why do we get married? Its just what you're supposed to do...grow up, graduate college, get married, have kids. Well with the social dynamic changing so much now you don't have to be married to be great parents to your kids. F marriage...lose, lose situation.

If any child is domiciled in Jefferson Parish call Guy Deluape.

If any child is domiciled in Orleans Parish call Jeff Hoffman.

Thank me later. Women don't stand a chance against these guys. Unless they get to them first.

But if she hires Jeff, call Guy! and vice versa. They will fight you for a toaster...
