I need a good lawyer

[Toxick]

Because many women still forego their career to raise the kids and keep the home. When the guy decides to run off with his secretary, leaving the woman high and dry,

How about if he doesn't run off with his secretary, but is merely tired of living with a shrill #####.

Tough. Shouldn't have married her in the first place. And definitely shouldn't have had kids.

Then he should buy his way out, it's the American way.

 

[Toxick]

Tough. Shouldn't have married her in the first place. And definitely shouldn't have had kids.

But what if he didn't marry that. But she turned into that after the course of a years.


Most of us dont have the benefit of a crystal ball.

People do change over time, for better or worse.

Then he should have been nicer to her so she wouldn't turn into a #####.

yeah yeah. "As long as love lasts" - I remember.

How incredibly one-sided.

:talktothehand:

Nice rebuttal to the actual subject at hand.

 

[vraiblonde]

Then you should figure out a way to get her to leave you so she doesn't get a dime. :shrug:

My ex got me to leave him just fine.

Hey - slow down killer.

I'm not even considering anything remotely like divorce. I'm perfectly happy. I'm talking strictly hypothetically.



However, you have managed to veer this line of talk nice 'n' far from your original sickening premise (viz: "shouldn't have married her in the first place"). I still think that's completely assinine, and nothing I've seen since has disabused me of that notion.

I meant "you" figuratively, not you personally.

Don't be silly. You know as well as I do that people marry in haste all the time, then get stuck with a "surprise" that isn't surprising at all.

I'm just saying that some guy (or gal) shouldn't be able to financially devastate you just because they've decided the grass is greener. Marriage is a committment.

 

[Toxick]

I know that.

And my response was - suppose he (or she) didn't leave for greener grass - but got sick of their partner pissing on their own grass, and making it all brown and nasty.


So to speak.

1. Why can't people realize divorce court is not the adversarial drama like on TV? It is a formula, you get what you get.

2. Good lawyer, bad lawyer, new lawyer, old lawyer, it doesn't mean crap except that you will pay more per hour so they can use the same formula and you get what you get.

3. Why does everyone always want to "take someone to the cleaners"? Just because it didn't work doesn't mean they deserve to be destitute the rest of their lives. If they racked up huge debt without your knowledge then fine stick them with that, but if it is marital debt both party's agreed to take on the debt, it should be split just like assets and property.

4. Why does every woman want "sole custody"? Granted some of the male gender is not always the most nurturing or dedicated but they are the kids parent as well and some guys do a decent job raising kids on their own.

5. Why is it the woman who always gets the sympathetic ear? Maybe Nitro Witch is just that, a biatch on wheels and is the problem instead of the bad ole boogy man.

6. Why is the guys military retirement always a target? Chics have 401K's and qualified retirement plans too but get huffy if some guy says fine, you get half my retirement, I get half yours.

7. WTF is up with alimony? Support your kids in a lifestyle they deserve, you owe the ex nothing. If you pay alimony to "maintain her lifestyle" does that mean you can get scheduled a conjugal visit to maintain yours?

when i went through my divorce, i had an attorney from Mike Millers office, and i got screwed out of ALOT of child support, AND didnt get anything i asked for. So, it really doesnt have anything to do with a big name, and also, my attorney was a woman. In a different case, his Daughter represented me, and i kinda sorta lost that one too. So, look for track record, name and sex has little to do with it.

That's too subjective. Some guys think their wife is goofing up the grass just because she gets mad when he sleeps with other women or gets drunk every night.

Okay, probably some women, too, but I don't think getting some strange is the #1 reason a woman leaves her husband. It IS, however, #1 with men. They use the excuse that the wife is a #####, but they typically have a new honey coming out of the gate so it's not too hard to figure out what happened.

I'll be content with this.
