As my attorney put it..."It doesn't matter how many dicks she had in her or how many pussies you put your dick in, it's still 50/50 community property, no way around that in LA."
Once again, everyone knows this.

No one does. People say they are because in most situations where the man gets hosed the husband is far and away the biggest earner. That is why they feel screwed, as they watch half of their shite move away.

Most of us think that having half of the shite we thought we had a couple weeks ago is a really shitty deal.

I am glad you are happy with your half.

Apparently not....I know of a couple guys that gave away their house, half retirement, and furnishings just to walk away. Lost pretty much everything except their vehicle. One moved in with his parents in his mid-30's.

To be honest, I came out with more than half, but what was left behind was for my kids, so in the end I'm happy with the result because long term, I'm gonna come out ahead.

Regardless, divorce sucks...not good for anybody, especially the kids, but women are selfish creatures, but you learn to protect yourself at all costs. My point of the thread.

Yeah I figured she was doing it because she needed the money. At the time I was in a position to let that go and be done with it. I had a 1.5” binder full of proof of adultery with the man she was with admitting to everything as well. I only ended up paying CS. I was awarded everything else (house, no alimony, no 401k rendering, nothing but CS).

So for me, it was a simple decision rooted in grace/strategy to let the dumb ring go.

No, they probably got their half. The reality is in Louisiana most families are dividing up very few assets. In many cases the vehicle may be worth more than the equity in the home.

I made a quick path to a damned good divorce lawyer before she could get to the same person. My house and property were inherited so that took care if that. She was overly anxious to get out of the house and indicated in the presence of my lawyer that she didn't want anything of mine. She renounced child custody, giving me full custody of both. whom I finished raising on my own. She thought she wanted part of my defined benefit retirement until she learned she would be on the hook for half of my student loan. She got her SUV, her clothes and jewelry, as well as a few incidentals from the house. To help her out, I bought her a couple of sacks of groceries every week. gave her about $125 weekly and kept up her car, dental, and health insurances for about 14 mos (until divorced was finalized). After that she was on her own. Since I paid a lot into social security for years before the current job, she can draw off my Social Security once I retire - which I am ok with as I won't get to see any off it due to receiving a government pension. In her case she was never the same after undergoing an emergency hysterectomy. As much as I tried to reassure her afterwards it just didn't work. We rarely speak to each other anymore; however, I did encourage the kids to maintain a connection with her regardless of what happened. I tried to teach the children to rely on each other and re-establish their relationship with their mother. The last one took more work than I had anticipated. Yet, both things happened and for that I am grateful.

I promise you not in my case or the guys I know who gave up way more than half and they weren't adulterers. The guy who moved back in w/ mom and pop was cheated on. What a wuss, but hey, he is a ADHD med dude, so....what a puss.

But, your "many cases" bs is just pure bs. Equity in house, retirement, and property(furnishings/lawn equip/tools, etc) is worth WAY more than a damn vehicle....

you keep referencing this like it matters.

The net worth of an average La family is 80k. If you are driving a paid off SUV you probably have 25% of your net worth right there.

Yes, occasionally a person just gives up without a fight. But if you get half in most cases.

And a gift prior to marriage is not community property

Yeah, I am no lawyer, but the whole adultery thing is is a misnomer I think.

Yeah I agree on that - 50/50 no matter what

Where adultery mattered was me getting everything else awarded and the chance at full custody.

Did she really "turn into" a psychopath or was she always one?

It goes both ways, because there are tons of guys who don't even pay court ordered child support.

Child support or alimony is part of a contract, or broken contract.

They are a risk you take when entering the contract. Don't enter the contract then bitch on the other side when you didn't think it through on the front end.

It's called responsibility.

1. How many days a month do the moms have/take care of the kids compared to the fathers?
2. How do the kids have a place to live/transportation/food/clothes if their moms are blowing their child support on themselves?

Don't get mad...stay focused, get a woman lawyer and take her to court. I did.

I got full custody of my daughter and she pays me child support.

Re child support, it certainly can be abused. But it's also legitimate for a low earning spouse, or a spouse that stayed home with the kids, to go back to school after a marriage in order to get some earning power.


That’s not child support
