Divorce Alimony/Child Support Question

[freedom3]

My experience. Basically you are entitled to anything that falls off the moving truck when it pulls out. Any cash left over is swallowed by the parasitic life sucking team of lawyers (yours and hers) who will insure you have just enough life left in you to earn a little more money for the next blood letting.

Remember that guy that never got married and just paid for whores ? You will realize that his whores were actually a better deal.

Luckily, I've overcome all my bitterness and moved on ......

I am that guy and it is working out great. I spent $10,000.00 one month last year in whores and it was still less than I would have paid in spousal support had I got married.

This is an important social and legal issue. I'd be very interested in some concrete examples from the last 5 years that show how family law works in Ontario. But vague complaints about men getting shafted in divorces don't really shed any light on the situation. Details and context count for a lot. Any lawyers around that can comment on divorce, alimony and child support laws?

I am a lawyer and, as I already posted, the woman gets whatever she want. If you want a concrete example, just go to the courthouse and sit in on a case.

Maybe some would disagree with me, but in my opinion it was her staying at home with the kids that allowed him to continue his education and therefore start to make some real money.

But your sister got to be with the kids. Ask your sister if she would have rather been the one working or the one raising her kids and she will tell you immediately that she would rather have been with the kids.

I know first hand that in Ontario an ex-wife can petition the court for an increase in child support in order to better the lives of the children.

Sadly, shared parenting and equal custody is not seen as in the ebst interests of the children. The Family court is all about the allmighty dollar and making the non custodial parent pay.

BS....

And yes, the formula for child support is based on income as reported each year by both parents. Not sure if that can be set aside by agreement or not.
