May need a lawyer... DVORCE NEVER ENDS

[Denny]

File? Varnish? Deny? You're a teacher for crying out loud!

No one can deny Denny...

[bcoop]

That fucking blows!

My ex owes about $400 in back child support but when I called the AG, they file me that they will send him a letter, but will not varnish it unless it is greater than his monthly payment.

Lmao. Damn, deny!

I figure one count of domestic violence would just land me probation. The beating I'd give the first one SHOULD be enough to convince the rest. Then Eric will sit with them and give his story in the recovery room.

I wish the Liberals would do something useful with their Communistic ideals and allow parent to neuter and spay their kids like fucking dogs. After I'm done, then I'll bitch until the law is removed.

if worse comes t worse, you could still go through with all that and no one would have to know about the license. Just get it when all that clears up.

Actually Leah that is the plan and the reason I am not freaking out too much. The state of Texas recognizes common law marriages so we can submit something to the court saying we are married, I can have my name changed and go on with life.

I can't wait to beat the shit out of any of my kids that even mention marriage or having kids.

Just let them talk to me for 30 minutes. I've got this.

Considering we have about $3,000 tied up in the wedding and honeymoon that is supposed to happen in 5 weeks..


This fucking sucks.

I don't disagree that the system isn't perfect. But the example you used is not the best example of that. What you are referring to is that child support is based on the father's salary. Hence a man making 30k will not pay the same as a man making 100k, and vice versa. I don't think that is unfair. If a child has a certain standard of living (determined by the father's salary...then why should the child's standard of living suffer because of a divorce? I know, I know...there are bitches out there that use the extra to do what THEY want and not provide for the child per the support given. At that point the issue lies with a shithead mom and not the judicial system. Surely there is a way to deter this and I have my own thoughts on what they should be, but too tired right now to lay them out.

I would say that the powers that be should revamp it/overhaul it..but they fucked it up in the first place. The problem lies with the individual powers of the judge. This country is a rule of law type (in addition to others) but some judges have chips on their shoulders and all too often try to "make examples" out of people; but that's a whole 'nother conversation.

Nanny stater all the way huh. Your standards should be everyone else's.

[Bassics]

First...hate on the bureacrats that the VOTERS put into office. Don't hate the State of Texas.

And WTF exactly is the difference?

Suck it up. My buddy got divorced and the mother has custody of both his son and daughter. Mom drops the son off at my buddy's mom's house for weekend visitation, tells her that the girl was sick and she was going to keep her for the weekend until she feels better, and that was the last they had heard or seen of either of them for nearly TEN YEARS.

He was having to pay for both kids, had to pay to have custody orders redrawn since he has the son, and she would not show up for court dates. Guess what the AG told him: If you want to get your child support fixed, you need to find your ex wife and get her to court. Until that day, you pay for both kids every month or we are throwing you in jail...

Sounds perfectly reasonable....

Children don't have standards of living beyond a few small things and low cost items. They don't own homes, don't own cars, don't have expenses beyond their basic needs. The only things I can think of that may be a big ticket item for children would be playing in select league sports or attending a private school. Medical care could be another issue in limited cases. Even in those extreme cases, in theory the father is only supposed to be paying for half of the costs.

I know someone who pays $1500 a month for two children. One 12 year old and another 5 year old. This person is not wealthy, makes six figures in a blue collar job thanks to overtime. What this means is that, in theory, raising those two kids costs $3000 a month in total. Absurd.

Children DO have standards of living. Example: Let's say a man and a woman are married. They have two kids. He makes 300k, she is a stay at home mom, they live in Trophy Club. The kids are involved in sports, school stuff, etc etc. Mom and Dad divorce. Are you teling me that it is ok that he pays the minimum to "raise a child"? I vehemently disagree with you.

A better question is this: When you say that raising a kid only costs a certain amount...and it surely isn't 1500/month...what are you basing your figures on? I guarantee you that it costs more to raise a child living in Hollywood than it does for one living in Compton (insert your own bourgeousie vs. proletariat cities). If you still disagree based on basic needs (i.e. food, water, clothing from Goodwill) then that sux for the kid. In your stance it doesn't matter what situation the child came from...he gets a certain amount from the father. So a father making 100k should pay the same as one making 25k? Sounds fair to me. Fuck the kids..give em bread and water and dirty used clothes.

You sir, are a dumbass. You are getting your ass kicked in this divorce and you are wanting to get remarried? Fuck that. Oh, I get it. This one is different! Yeah right.

Man, the exact thoughts that was going through my mind. I would call the state prevention a positive thing,
