| 1 | Opponents say Alimony Reform bill could harm strong independent women"The fact is if you want it and ask the court for it, most likely you're going to get it." You have NO concept of how this really works. You're just talking out your ass. If a father "asks" for more time it is NOT just granted. If mom agrees (which is close to never) things will be smooth. Otherwise, it costs tens of thousands of dollars for attorneys and case workers to fight it out in court. If mom is not compromised, a father's chance to get anything above every-other-weekend is remote at any… | /r/MensRights | 04/03/16 03:36 PM |
| 2 | Opponents say Alimony Reform bill could harm strong independent womenFirst off please link your research if you could. The only "research" I'm aware of deals with primary, not shared (50/50) custody. You're forgetting that men going through divorce have lawyers. Are you trying to tell me that all of these lawyers are incompetent? I can assure you they are not. Men are routinely counseled by professional lawyers (that doesn't include you btw) to NOT seek 50/50, or any other custodial arrangement beyond the standard every-other-weekend because they can't afford it … | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 08:01 PM |

| 10 | Feminist urges Gov. Rick Scott to veto Alimony Reform: "Grandma deserves better" --> But fuck Grandpa, the lifetime alimony paying cuckold, amirite?So-called "child" support should be rare to completely abolished. The truth is it's completely unnecessary. 50/50 shared parenting with no "child" support works. Otherwise simply give custody to the parent who can actually afford to raise the child. Problem solved. "Child" support isn't for children folks. It has always been meant to subsidize a woman's lifestyle. It's just husband support or alimony with a different name. | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 05:03 PM |

The only thing I can tell you is get a vasectomy and NEVER, under any circumstance, get married. This will at least help you avoid getting fucked over again at some point. Sorry. | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 04:58 PM |
| 1 | Opponents say Alimony Reform bill could harm strong independent womenIt IS true that most men don't ask for it. That's because they usually can't win even if they had the money to fight (which most don't). Remember that it will cost a father many tens of thousands of dollars to fight this battle. It's not that fathers don't want the time, they just can't afford what is often a losing battle from the start. Men typically only fight for anything other than standard non-custodial time when mom is compromised in some way (drugs for example). Even then their chances a… | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 04:52 PM |

| 1 | Opponents say Alimony Reform bill could harm strong independent women"He needs to divorce her at that time." That'll show her! Then she gets the kid, the house, the good car, most of the marital assets, alimony, and "child" support. He gets to live in his parents' basement with ridiculous support obligations for 18 years and every other weekend with his kids. You're a fucking genius! Why didn't I think of that. | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 04:39 PM |
| 2 | Opponents say Alimony Reform bill could harm strong independent womenOne of the biggest myths around is the one that men are agreeing with mom that she should stay at home. It rarely happens this way. This is usually done through mom's ultimatum. My wife said if you don't like it, I'll take (our daughter) and you can leave. I shut up after that. That's how "agreeing" usually works in these instances. | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 04:35 PM |
| 1 | Opponents say Alimony Reform bill could harm strong independent womenYou have NO idea what you're talking about. Nothing in this thread you're saying remotely reflects reality. My brother spent $75,000 in his and her legal fees trying to get something better than every other weekend with his kids. Not only did he get the standard non-custodial arrangement anyway, the judge chided him for wasting the courts time when it was all over. He was counseled by both his attorney and counselor to not go forward with trying to get 50/50. They told him because he was a man h… | /r/MensRights | 03/03/16 04:32 PM |

| 12 | Veteran chooses jail over giving his disability money to ex-wife"I'll never understand the mentality that goes on in divorce courts." The explicit purpose of modern legal marriage is to transfer income and wealth from men to women. That's it. Nothing else matters. Marriage has nothing to do with God, love, commitment, family, whatever. It's just a money transfer scheme (that is stealing). When you understand the true purpose of marriage these stories make sense. That's not to say that it's right. It is wrong.

Of course I've come to expect these types of explanations from you. Men, never trust a fucking a wife or mother, whether she's destroying your life or someone else's.

As far as I can tell, court orders are completely immune from the constitution. It has been my take for some time that this is the precise reason family "law" is vague and provides judges with essentially completely free reign. 50,000 men a day are in American jails and prisons for failure to pay "support."

As well it should pay alimony to maintain lifestyle.50,000 men are in American jails and prisons each day for failure to pay child support and alimony. I'm not sure how many billions of dollars men lose every day through all the various "family" court redistribution schemes. The truth is getting married and having a family often lead to much worse outcomes than committing most forms of crime. This is undeniable.

Why should "child" support be apportioned by the parent's income? If you have a child, don't you think each parent should be responsible for 50% of the expenses?

The answer is not, of course, to put women into some raw deal of their own. Remember that our entire "family" court system is in place to combat female dependency. In 2015, decades after women overtook men in college degrees, it can't even be argued that this system is needed anymore.

Many studies have shown that public welfare absolutely reduces the incentive to work. We call women on the public dole welfare queens. But when you apply the same analysis to marital and other "family" law welfare programs a bunch of people get offended. It's taboo.

| 3 | Tomorrow I go to jail for child support.There is no meaningful difference between the way modern day "child" support and marriage/divorce works and how debtor's prisons and other forms of indentured servitude have worked in the past.

| 3 | Almost a quarter of men 'admit to rape in parts of Asia'. Questions were: Have you ever had sex with your partner when you knew she didn't want to but you thought she should agree because she's your wife/ partner? How many women would be rapists if asked the same question.And under that definition I've been raped dozens of times. I think you would find that, based on this definition, female on male marital rape in America is of staggering proportions. We know that husbands, especially fathers, avoid divorce for fear of losing their children and going broke. Many husbands have sex with their wives just to keep the peace and avoid having their lives even further destroyed. | /r/MensRights | 10/09/13 03:37 PM |

After always agreeing to work and nearly 10 years of higher education, some of which I paid for, my wife refused to work. To that the "counselor" chastised me and said, as a man, I should be happy I could take care of her. My wife chimed in that "life isn't fair". I got out of the chair and we went home.

| 2 | Never, never, never date a single mom in the U.S. You could end up on the hook for child support when you break up with her.Of course there is a determination here and it is mentioned at least two different times, including at the end: The court concluded: "In summary, paternity by estoppel continues to pertain in Pennsylvania, but it will apply only where it can be shown, on a developed record, that it is in the best interests of the involved child." Just because the case was sent back to the lower court doesn't mean the court didn't do anything. Of course it did. Google it.

| 5 | Never, never, never date a single mom in the U.S. You could end up on the hook for child support when you break up with her.If I had a fucking dollar every time I heard someone say or write "he can afford it" as a justification for fleecing a man through alimony and so-called "child" support... It's a fucking entitlement these days. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/12 06:20 PM |
| 1 | Never, never, never date a single mom in the U.S. You could end up on the hook for child support when you break up with her.We simply have a blatantly ladies first, misandric culture. And the average man is supposed to just "man-up" and accept it. Well, the shit is hitting the fan and many of us are no longer playing that game. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/12 06:16 PM |
