| 4 | Any men here deal with suicidal ideation? How did you get through it?I used to scoff at the idea of people posting about the suicide hotline, but the few times I had called it (during the pandemic and prior), I was connected to some of the most compassionate, caring people I've ever communicated with. Despite the media campaign for men to open up and tell someone close to them — whatever you do, don't tell anyone in your personal life. I really hate to say this, but just keep it to yourself and don't say anything to any friends, family members, neighbors or anyon… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/06/26 01:50 AM |
| 8 | My wife is whoring aroundThis seems all too common... I'm really sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately, there's really nothing you can do in this situation besides just try to focus on yourself and hope that eventually she grows up. Any effort to try to "save" her from herself will be turned around where you're made to look like the aggressor or controlling or abusive in some way. You have to basically just cut ties at this point. My neighbors separated last summer and literally the day after the husband moved out, th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/08/25 10:14 PM |
| 3 | The hatred is palpableNo, but my kid's mom was in a relationship with a guy for almost two years before she said anything to me about him. My daughter kept mentioning him and I'd bring it up to my co-parent to see if she'd say anything about it and she would never acknowledge it. She finally told me when they were pregnant and he was moving in with them. Even then, I learned everything I knew about him from my daughter. He was even at my daughter's second birthday party that I was also at but I had no idea about him … | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/07/25 06:29 PM |
| 8 | The hatred is palpableI have sensed this feeling nearly every time I interact with my kid's mom. When she finally agreed to allow me to meet my daughter's step dad, she sat next to him and was giving me this awful scowl the entire time. It was like how dare I want to interact with and meet the person who is living with my child? It's the same when I show up for doctors and dentist appointments — it's almost like she can't even bring herself to be tolerant of my presence, much less being cordial.

Once she "won" and got what she wanted, she proceeded to break many of the rules of the parenting plan, keep me in the dark on important decisions, etc. After breaking a bunch of rules, my lawyer and I drafted a letter and sent it to them last summer before filing in the court and then of course her lawyer writes ba… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/06/25 11:30 AM |

That was the big surprise,” she says.They use the term "gray divorce" ten times in that article. It feels like CNN is really trying hard to jump on the trend piece trend by owning some new term...

Your kid's mom can book doctors appointments without including you or asking about your availability and then schedule appointments specifically at times that you can't make it due to work and then tell the court that you never went to any of your kid's doctors appointments and don't care about their health.

Was sent to jail after being unable to pay anymore and ended up killing himself in prison.It is literally like a pension or retirement annuity. Just seems so unreal. There's a line in here about how he was struggling to keep work after having over 200 court dates within a couple of years. This man had no other way out. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/23 09:23 PM |

The states that are moving to 50-50 are really leading the way right now. I know that, in my own circumstance, the more time I spend with my daughter, the happier I am.

You never see a 'strong and independent' woman in family court." I found it so ironic and funny, but also very sad and disturbing. I also went through something similar recently myself. It's funny how suddenly people are financially unfit and struggle when they submit papers to the court or step foot into a courtroom. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/23 03:57 PM |

You get used to living within specific means, but then when your mortgage suddenly goes up by $1,000 per month and then you're suddenly paying an extra $500 per month in child support, it really throws everything off and it makes life very precarious.

It's the smear campaigns, the setting you up to fail, constant blame-shifting and then refusing to acknowledge any of their own misgivings or wrongdoings... And it's just so common and normalized.

She was gorgeous and I almost couldn't believe she was not only willing to give me a chance, but actually liked me. I found out within a few weeks of dating that she was very aggressive and verbally abusive.

| 88 | A lack of equal male partners drives women to freeze their eggsGotta love the double standard that there aren't enough high-earning men and that there is a glut of highly-qualified, high-earning women yet when it comes to child support, the laws retreat back to old gender norms and still view men as the breadwinner and the mother as the primary caretaker. | /r/MensRights | 19/07/23 05:30 PM |

| 2 | Kevin Costner ordered to pay ex-wife $130,000 *per month* in child supportThe problem is that child support laws are woefully outdated and frankly, unconstitutional. There is every incentive possible for a woman to seek and claim full custody, for a woman to keep the children away from the father, and for the woman to claim as much money as possible and to not work. The cards are 100% stacked up against men and fathers despite the narrative that single mothers have it so hard and are so unappreciated. It's utter bullshit. | /r/MensRights | 17/07/23 03:13 PM |

But even if you're paying several hundred dollars per month, you're still a "deadbeat." There's no winning in this game.

It's never enough for modern women, no matter their background or class.When you're demanding $100,000 or higher for monthly child support, it's not about supporting the children... It's about providing the mother a very cushy, luxurious lifestyle.

The answer is: You don't. Drugs, suicide, or … | /r/MensRights | 04/07/23 04:38 PM |
| 3 | Reposting because I forgot to be more descriptive. I never thought I'd see permanent alimony eliminated anywhere.In child support groups on Facebook, some of the loudest voices for reform and outrage are the wives and partners of men who are the hook for massive child support payments. It's something that completely breaks a man down and turns him into a shell of his former self. It's traumatizing and demoralizing, and we need all the help we can get fixing these outdated rules. | /r/MensRights | 04/07/23 04:26 PM |
| 3 | Reposting because I forgot to be more descriptive. I never thought I'd see permanent alimony eliminated anywhere.This line in this story boils my blood: This year, however, the proposal received relatively little public pushback and got the blessing of Florida Family Fairness and The Florida Bar’s Family Law Section, which fiercely clashed over the issue in the past. It's the greedy lawyers who benefit from these cases and motions that have kept these outdated, unconstitutional practices in place for so long. It's the same story with custody and child support. The only people who win in child support cases… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/23 04:23 PM |
| 47 | California Reparations Task Force calls elimination of child support debt for black residents — Don't be distracted by the outrage. Child support debt is the only debt that people can still be sent to jail for, which overwhelming affects black fathers and their children.If you are unemployed when the mother files for custody and support, the court/judge will calculate your support at minimum wage, or at what they deem to be your "market value." If you were making $75,000 in your last job before being laid off, they will base your support on you making $75,000 — even if you aren't making it. They think that fathers can just go out there and get a job. It's that easy. But if you lose your job after the support and custody have been determined, you have to file a … | /r/MensRights | 04/07/23 04:18 PM |
| 30 | California Reparations Task Force calls elimination of child support debt for black residents — Don't be distracted by the outrage. Child support debt is the only debt that people can still be sent to jail for, which overwhelming affects black fathers and their children.As long as people continue to politicize child support and antagonize people who are fighting to reform it, it'll be an uphill battle. At least with alimony, it's far more cut and dry — you need to get a job and stop living off of your ex-husband. But with child support? It's immediate outrage and presumption of guilt or of being a deadbeat. I never knew how cruel this system was until I was affected by it. People who aren't impacted or negatively affected by the system continue to have no clue … | /r/MensRights | 04/07/23 04:12 PM |
| 35 | California Reparations Task Force calls elimination of child support debt for black residents — Don't be distracted by the outrage. Child support debt is the only debt that people can still be sent to jail for, which overwhelming affects black fathers and their children.Twitter is going berserk over this headline this morning. And it's so predictable... "Wow, who is going to think of the children?" and "Black people don't want to pay their fair share." Here's the reality though... Debtors prison was outlawed in the US in the 1830s and then officially/formally deemed unconstitutional in the 1980s. However, fathers can and still do often go to prison over child support debt. This system overwhelming harms black fathers and their children. If a mother files for su… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/23 04:00 PM |
| 49 | "My fears are that they can take you back to court, and I don’t have the money for an attorney. I literally live off a little bit I get for alimony. This is a death sentence for me," said Florida woman who lives off of permanent alimony.Men who are retired and paying permanent alimony can file for modification now. It may not entirely end, but it sounds like judges will have to consider a change in entitlements if the ex-husband is formally retired and now living on a fixed-income. | /r/MensRights | 03/07/23 07:27 PM |

This is a death sentence for me," said Florida woman who lives off of permanent alimony.Gotta love these news stories where they find the few outliers — the older women with some kind of ailments who "need" alimony to survive. But yet we're in the midst of a literal suicide epidemic and public health crisis among men and no one bats an eye. What about the men who have killed themselves because of parental alienation and child support arrears that keep them indebted for the rest of their lives? What about the men who have lost hope and become homeless because everything they had was… | /r/MensRights | 03/07/23 06:31 PM |
| 33 | Rebuttable Default 50/50 equal shared custody now the law in Florida: Thanks for signing Gov. Ron DeSantisWe need this in Illinois NOW. Too bad that this is going to turn into another bullshit culture war battle where Dem governors are going to boast about how they won't follow Florida's lead because DeSantis is a toxic Republican instead of viewing this as a human rights issue. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/23 06:42 PM |
| 99 | Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill ending permanent alimonySeriously. The hysterical gnashing of teeth on Twitter is utterly insane. No one care about the men who have essentially been living in state sanctioned indentured servitude for their entire adult lives. It really does feel like the institution of marriage is to be avoided by all costs. Hopefully they take on custody and child support next. It's not the 70s anymore and forcing fathers to pay for two households is just cruel and unusual. It needs to end. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/23 06:39 PM |
| 62 | Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill ending permanent alimonyI was just reading comments on Twitter, and of course they're literally all, "How awful! Ron DeSantis clearly hates women!" and stuff like "What about the poor women who gave up their careers to be a house wife who are old and decrepit now and have never worked!" That's why we need feminism — we need equal rights and equal expectations. Literally no one gives a shit about the men who have been victims of this stuff. It's just "Whhaaaa What about the outliers?! Those very few, rare women who are … | /r/MensRights | 01/07/23 06:33 PM |
| 56 | Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill ending permanent alimonyWow, I had no idea there was "permanent" alimony. I guess it would make sense if you were a stay-at-home mom in the 70s and sacrificed having a career so that you could raise the children, but it's not the 1970s anymore and women already outnumber men in college enrollment and will soon start out-earning men in the corporate workplace. Hopefully more states follow this lead and then they start chipping away at state-sanctioned indentured servitude — er, I mean child support — soon. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/23 06:20 PM |
| 1 | Fiance and I are having arguments over assets before marriage. Thoughts?She has to accept that your property and your money is yours and not hers. She'll either accept it for what it is or remain bitter and hope that you slip up one day so she can divorce you for whatever reason. Just be careful, man... Money is the main reason people get divorced. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/23 02:07 PM |
