I got: *to see my kids every other weekend *40% of our assets *to pay for the house she lives in *to give her $3k/month until I die, or she does I too had paid for her degree, which she decided to never use.

| 1 | Gov. Christie: No More Permanent Alimony In NJ - CBS PhillyI don't think that is a problem in the US any longer (most states do not recognize common law marriage). But I agree 100% with the sentiment to stay single. Marriage is a legal contract, with undisclosed terms...if young men knew the contract terms up front, most would recoil in horror. | /r/MensRights | 12/09/14 11:09 AM |

| 1 | Wife confesses to timing her divorce, in order to use alimony as a tool of revengeWhatever the ex contributed to the marriage should continue in divorce, the same way the "breadwinner's" contribution must continue. It should at least be accounted for in a dollar equivalent. Stay at home spouses often claim their job is worth $100k/yr, until they get in divorce court. | /r/MensRights | 31/08/14 01:38 AM |
| 4 | Wife confesses to timing her divorce, in order to use alimony as a tool of revengeEven the concept is flawed. Only one party in the divorce is forced to continue in their marital duty...if I have to continue giving financial support, shouldn't she have to continue in part of her marital duties? | /r/MensRights | 30/08/14 07:13 PM |
| 4 | Wife confesses to timing her divorce, in order to use alimony as a tool of revengeYou are 100% spot-on.

| 1 | This is wrongNeither of these cases could be prosecuted had the victim made those statements or if those were proven facts. Please cite a real case where the woman consented (admittedly so) and the guy was convicted of rape | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 02:17 PM |
| 0 | This is wrongNo, it doesn't. It simply recognizes the obvious fact that one can be too intoxicated to give consent, short of being passed out. In other words, if she's puking in the toilet and you anally penetrate her, one may reasonably conclude a lack of consent. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 05:10 AM |
| 0 | This is wrongThat's interesting. The actual legal statute reads: "Any person who commits an act of sexual penetration when the victim is prevented from resisting by any intoxicating or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance, and this condition was known, or reasonably should have been known by the accused, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three, six, or eight years." I think the scenario painted by the OP is a far cry from the act described in the statute. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 05:01 AM |
| 0 | This is wrongI will make this simple for you: The ruling said: "However,where the complainant has voluntarily consumed even substantial quantities of alcohol, but nevertheless remains capable of choosing whether or not to have intercourse, and in drink agrees to do so, this would not be rape." Therefore w/regard to the OP, the question is " was the woman capable of choosing whether or not to have intercourse" Per the OP's scenario, yes she was capable because she, in fact, did consent. Therefore, per the rul… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 04:39 AM |

First, the OP said nothing about being drunk, intoxicated or in any way incapacitated...only that the couple had drinks, consented to sex, then had sex. Under that scenario, there is no legal statute or case law that would even hint that a rape may have occured.

| -2 | This is wrongYes, I am sure. From your own link: "Men who have sex with drunken women will be at risk of being convicted of rape under new laws to be considered by ministers." This not part of a legal system. I think it is you who needs to more carefully research. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 03:11 AM |
| 0 | This is wrongWow, this sub hates facts! | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 02:58 AM |
| -2 | This is wrongThere is no such law | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 02:54 AM |
| -2 | This is wrongunable to exercise reasonable judgement This is not a legal standard for consent under any states legal statutes as far as I know. I have posted the statutes of both California and New York, both of which clearly show that there must be a "physical incapacitation" due to the alcohol/drugs before the alleged victim is considered unable to consent. "Intoxication" is not sufficient. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 02:39 AM |
| -2 | This is wrongI've already cited the consent laws of California which show that in that state, "intoxication" alone does not show inability to consent. Here are the conditions from New York state law statute 130.05: A person is deemed incapable of consent when he or she is: (a) less than seventeen years old; or (b) mentally disabled; or (c) mentally incapacitated; or (d) physically helpless; or (e) committed to the care and custody of the state department of correctional services Note that (d) can be due to a… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 02:31 AM |
| -2 | This is wrongFirst, if she was drunk, the US legal system says she cannot consent First, the OP made no mention of being "drunk"... only "drinks" Second, please support your assertion about the US legal system with the relevant statutes or case law. If you are claiming that having drinks then sex is legally considered rape, you will find no supporting statutes. If you mean that having sex with a puking alcoholic could result in rape charges, then I'd agree | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 02:17 AM |
| -2 | This is wrongIt may be true on college campuses (although I'd have to see it to believe it). My point is that under no criminal legal system is it considered rape. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 01:49 AM |
| -1 | This is wrongClassic. Downvotes for actually supporting my statements with links to legal statutes. I believe this thread has officially become the very definition of a circle jerk. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 01:08 AM |
| -3 | This is wrongI'm sorry, but this is not supported by the facts. A woman cannot say, "I told him yes but realized later I had been drinking and decided I was raped.". The law does not work that way. Now, she may lie and deny she consented, or intentionally mislead a jury, but under no legal system is the OP's scenario considered rape. Consent, once given, is consent...it cannot be taken away retroactively and there is no case law where this has been successfully argued. I am more than willing to read any case… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 12:53 AM |
| -1 | This is wrongI'll take this as an admission that you have no further evidence to support your position. Bye. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 12:36 AM |
| -4 | This is wrongHere is a link to California statutes which, very clearly, demonstrate that mere intoxication is not sufficient to establish lack of consent. All other state laws are similar. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&division=&title=9.&part=1.&chapter=1.&article= | /r/MensRights | 10/08/14 11:40 PM |
| -5 | This is wrongIf its not illegal, then it is legal...legal acts are not enumerated by law, only illegal acts. Surely you know this. Regardless, I must have missed the word "intoxicated" in the OP...did I, or are you attempting to move the goalpost? | /r/MensRights | 10/08/14 11:11 PM |
| -5 | This is wrongThis link is to a sexual trauma services website, and in no way constitutes a legal definition. The page states that consent cannot be given if intoxicated (which is false) so I will make 3 points: The OP said nothing of "intoxication", only that alcohol was consumed and consent given There is no legal definition that states consent cannot be given after consuming alcohol The link itself states " forcing sex on someone who is too drunk to give consent"...which is far from the scenario posited by… | /r/MensRights | 10/08/14 11:03 PM |

Seriously, living together is a very bad idea that can fuck up your future in a big way. Living separately will solve most of your financial issues. If you do contemplate marriage (strongly advise against it), get an iron-clad prenup that eliminates the possibility of alimony and protects any assets going in. | /r/MensRights | 10/08/14 10:18 PM |

| 2 | Shared custody becoming the norm: Study finds dramatic decline in mother-sole custody casesYou are abolutely correct. There is a thing called "rebuttable presumption" that leaves the penis-bearer at huge disadvantage in family court. The mountain that one must climb to rebut these presumptions is enormous...most dads do not even try, and its hard to blame them. Spending tens of thousands to get to the same starting point as your ex is not possible for most, and a futile exercise for many more (as was my case). | /r/MensRights | 14/07/14 02:57 PM |

I have tried to get a reduction, but only once out of 4 attempts did I get a hearing...the judge denied that request in a 2 minute hearing. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 05:00 PM |
| 4 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidDon't be surprised if the CS gets converted to "maintenance" once your boy is 18. My financial obligation did not drop 1 cent when my youngest hit 18. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 04:51 PM |
| 2 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidShe is not crazy, she is taking what the judge gave her. We dated for years before marriage. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 04:47 PM |
| 24 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidPresumably, all marriages start this way. Not many end this way though. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 04:45 PM |
| 18 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidI agree with you on CS, but alimony is slavery. No one, under any circumstance, should be legally obligated to provide for their ex spouse. What is divorce if not a legal dissolution of that responsibility? Have you ever seen a judge order the homemaker to continue washing the clothes and cooking the meals of the ex? No. Then why does the bread-winner have to continue in their marital responsibility? | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 04:38 PM |
| 2 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kid2, both over 18 | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 04:27 PM |
| 4 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidShe knows this and will never re-marry (why would she) | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 04:26 PM |
| 6 | Only men should pay! If women have to pay alimony it needs to be reformed.And the governor usurped the legislature (and presumably the will of Florida citizens) with a veto because ....he knows better? How arrogant. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 03:36 PM |
| 14 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidThat may work if you divorce immediately after she quits, but if you accomodate her unemployment for a time, you have screwed yourself. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 03:07 PM |
| 22 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidMy kids are now 18+, but the financial burden was not reduced by the judge. I was on disability for 8 weeks once due to surgery, and could only pay about 1/2 what I was ordered to pay. She went back to court and the judge threatened me with jail if I did not "make her whole" within 6 months. So, basically, even if you become disabled or have a reduced income for any reason, its tough shit...your obligations do not go away, or so says the family court. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 03:03 PM |
| 30 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidThat's great, until she decides to quit and live off your income (which happens often) | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 02:52 PM |
| 27 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidI am glad to hear that your dad made it out alive. In my case, because the $3k/mo is unallocated, it did not reduce when our 2 kids reached 18, it just continues in perpetuity. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 02:48 PM |

| 2 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidJudges throw out pre-nups every day. They deem them "unfair" which is all they need to invalidate them. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 02:13 PM |
| 5 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidSo how does one move to Europe to avoid alimony? To get a work visa, I would assume there is a background check, etc. I dont think moving would solve anything (at least not to Europe)...maybe Belize | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 02:10 PM |
| 11 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidEasier said than done. Family is here, job is here. If I left, I could never return... | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 01:58 PM |
| 222 | i pay $2,500/ mo to my ex-wife for 1 kidChild support = alimony. I have to pay monthly: $1200 mortgage (for our house which she got and I had to leave) $430 car payment (for her car which she got to keep) $85 auto insurance for her car $3000 unallocated "support"....forever, or until I die My take home (after tax, insurance) is about $5500/mo. That leaves me about $800/mo to live on. She also took 60% of my 401k (about $150k), and gets 1/2 my pension if I ever retire (I will likely never be able to retire under this permanent financia… | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 01:42 PM |
| 45 | Paternity test proves man is not the father of twins. Judge makes him keep paying child support anyway.Also by that logic, a man could be forced to pay CS for an unrelated child to whom he volunteered time and became "the only father the child knew". I cannot understand how a ruling like that is not considered a violation of basic human rights. Unbelievably scary stuff! | /r/MensRights | 09/10/13 12:30 AM |
| 35 | Paternity test proves man is not the father of twins. Judge makes him keep paying child support anyway.Vasectomy would not help. The courts can force you into indentured servitude to a woman based on any whimsical interpretation of the law, as in this case. | /r/MensRights | 08/10/13 11:01 PM |

| 1 | ObamaCare Boils Down to Free Stuff for Women - Peter SchiffI agree that there are people who don't get healthcare because they can't afford it. I disagree that insurance=healthcare however. On average, a person will spend more on insurance premiums than what their healthcare would cost out of pocket. Poor folks need healthcare, not insurance. | /r/MensRights | 04/10/13 05:21 PM |
| -1 | ObamaCare Boils Down to Free Stuff for Women - Peter SchiffNo, its not. One can get healthcare without insurance. I do it all the time. | /r/MensRights | 04/10/13 12:27 PM |

| 2 | Are you a wealthy man? Still want kids without financial suicide? Move to Texas! (CHILD SUPPORT IS CAPPED)What is even better are the Texas alimony laws. They actually have a 3 year cap. | /r/MensRights | 22/08/13 12:42 AM |
| 5 | Cross post in /r/loans . Can anyone help me with child support this Thursday to avoid a year+ in jail?If you have a prescription, that is all you need. Yes, at some point you would need to see a jail doc, but they are not going to take your prescribed medicine away unless a doc OK's it. $5k is not a lot to get your son back | /r/MensRights | 19/08/13 07:14 PM |
| 6 | Cross post in /r/loans . Can anyone help me with child support this Thursday to avoid a year+ in jail?The state has to provide your medication if incarcerated. My suggestion is, if you can avoid jail and find work, to get yourself a lawyer and petition the court to have a "guardian ad litem" appointed for the child. This is a lawyer who represents the child and makes recommendations to the court on custody, etc., based on interviews with the child (no parents present) and with the parent(s) and child together | /r/MensRights | 19/08/13 05:39 PM |
