A wife cheats on her husband

[Muadib]

Hey, I never said she was sane. The whole world knows she has mental issues. It's a wash anyway, since no one is talking. I can name other celebs, but since you think they are above the law, I'll give you this little tale.

Yeah and I could be the next Pope. :roll:

Well your pontiff, I gotta think Britney Spears is paying alimony. If she wasn't, she would have blasted word all throughout the media. Instead, she had the details of financial support kept confidential.

Or she's just fucking insane. She's paying child support, but I'll bet you anything I own she is NOT paying Kevin Federline alimony

Using a celebrity as an example would be pretty weak even if there was any chance you were right (which you're not). Laws apply differently to celebs, we all know that.

For what it's worth, there's of course some men who receive alimony payments. However, here's a sobering factoid:

"Thirty-three percent of higher-earning spouses are women, but fewer than four percent of alimony payers are women," says Ned Holstein, president of Fathers & Families, a family-court reform organization in Boston, citing U.S. Census Bureau data.

So yeah, fuck that.

There are quite a few factors that can contribute to that discrepancy.

It doesn't take into account the amount of difference in pay. How many of those higher-earning women only make a couple grand more? If you only make a bit more than your spouse, you're not going to pay alimony.

There are very, very, very, very few stay at home dads, while there are tons of stay at home moms.

There is a stigma attached to men asking for alimony, so fewer of those who can, do.

Your co-worker sounds like he might be the bad apple of the relationship

1. How do you inherit a house with a mortgage? Sounds like he just assumed a debt and opted to continue paying principal and interest to keep the house.
2. Why did kids go to Mom if she was the cheating doucehbag?
3. Why did he let the house go to foreclosure? Surely there was some equity


Either way, the kids lose every single time in these situations, but at least they aren't around their parents. I'm a firm believer you need to divorce earlier rather then later.

From what he told me despite the wife's indiscretion the judge awarded her the children. In Illinois I think the divorce laws are especially hard on men, seems like I saw an article on that not long ago. As far as the house goes, his ex-wife did'nt tell him she was losing the place. Her parents told my coworker that she had basically took out equity loans against the house and wasted the money and then could'nt pay the loans. By the time my coworker was aware of the situation the hole was too big for him to dig out of.

I realize that this is his side of the story but I think he's telling the truth.

Yet another man "broadsided" because he wasn't paying attention to what his wife was doing. Maybe that's why she got the kids.

There are always two sides to any story, OP. He's certainly not going to tell you anything that makes him look culpable. Take his version with a grain of salt.

You should win a custody battle because you covered your tracks while you were sneaking around?

I get that people are generalizing in this thread, demonizing women in general who don't deserve it, but this makes no sense.

That's complete BS, if a man makes only a few grand more than a woman you can bet he'll be paying alimony. Even if he makes the SAME amount he might have to pay.

It doesn't matter if a husband is stay at home or works, it's not only stay at home wives who get alimony. It's if you make LESS that you're supposed to get alimony, not if you make nothing.

As for the stigma, well, can't really argue that. There's a lot of exceptionally stupid, archaic men out there that think that way. Luckily they're generally the old farts who also complain a lot about teenagers and how crappy the NFL since they switched from leather helmets. Fewer and fewer people are listening to them, thankfully.

The fun thing about the whole marriage/alimony situation is every woman is for it. Even the most proudly indpendent, I-don't-need-no-man women will gladly take the money. The same goes with blood diamonds. A vegetarian, PETA and WWF member, college educated self-made woman will throw a fit if you don't get her a diamond engagement ring even if it funds war.

FUCK ALIMONY, with a condom of course.

Is leaving the country after a judgment like this ever an option? Seriously, it might just be better to start over some place else.
