Oh for sure! Especially for something like this stunt. This was mentioned elsewhere, but the first thing I would have done was walked into the bank, taken all my money and closed my accounts. Then I'd encourage others to do the same. Raising awareness of a pay disparity is well and good, but pissing people off like that does NOT bring people over to your cause. It makes them dislike you and your opinion because you're being a douche.

you just don't fuck with my hard-earned money. As shitty a stunt as this was, the amount dispensed was the amount that was deducted from the account according to the article. The 20% that was not dispensed from the ATM was not deducted from their accounts.

You should have a caseworker.; contact Friend of the Court (or whatever they call it in your state) and ask to speak to your case worker. You might need a docket or case number (again, this varies by state). There might be something they can do.

Why does your delinquent support prohibit you from claiming your children? If the court order says you can claim them, you can claim them. If you're behind on support they'll just take it out of your return.

This happens a lot; if you even suggest that there was something a victim of rape might have done to reduce their chances of being assaulted then you're automatically saying that you approve of rape and are a rapist yourself. The person suggesting this, of course, is nothing of the sort and goes on to use other examples (locking doors in a high crime area, and so on) but is further labeled as a vile human being or a rape apologist or something similar. This is, at least in my opinion, because th…

I think I can see where you're going with this; if I didn't consent then I shouldn't have to support them. I agree with this. If a father is coerced, is not informed or otherwise thrust into parenthood against their wishes then they should not have to support their child. ... though if I'm entirely off base please let me know.

When we were married it was the same way; I worked at the laboratory that our bloodwork went through and I couldn't look up her results. I had to have someone else do it and there had to be a signed form each time. HIPAA is very clear about what happens when you give out medical information to someone that isn't cleared to see it.

My plan tomorrow (well... later on today as it's 1:00am) is to call both the prescription and insurance phone numbers and make sure that it is clear that she is authorized to access any information relating to our kids but that if she tires to do anything with my information they're to block her. If I do find out that she's gotten into my information then it becomes really bad for the insurance company; HIPAA violations can cost a medical organization it's ability to do business and most take HI…

It's available here and while I can see the points that everyone is making I don't find this offensive at all.

I agree that there needs to be some sort of oversight when it comes to support, but I don't think that the system is abused as much as everyone seems to think it is. Yes, there are documented cases of massive abuse and outright fraud but considering how many people get support they are in the minority (and if I'm wrong, please tell me; this is based on casual observation and approximation). I think a serious retooling is needed.

and even though they're forced to call the new man "dad" That should NEVER be forced on a child in my opinion. "Dad" is a title that has to be earned. For example; my girlfriend's son calls me "Dad" on occasion but I don't force the issue and it didn't come about until I started being more of a father figure to him (his biological father only sees his son because HIS mother wants to be able to see her grandson).

I have to disagree; when there is a divorce then it's no longer a singular environment. There are two separate households and they should both be given a fair shake at being successful. I do see where you're coming from, though; gotta make the best of their main place of residence and I'm not trying to advocate the complete elimination of the child support system... just some serious revisions 'cause wholly hell is it hard to make a living when 50% of your income vanishes.
/r/MensRights06/01/13 08:33 PM

Yes, but they should be able to attempt to do that with their full income.

The simple answer is "because he doesn't want to be a dad" or "because he doesn't want to replace the biological father, who may still be involved with the kids." The non-simple answer is... more complicated and depends on the person in question. I do take a dim view of any parent that tries to replace the other, though.

It's incredibly fucked; they justify exorbitant amounts by telling non-custodial parents that you "need to support the children when they're not with you" but don't want to realize that I (being a non-custodial parent) can't JUST pay my rent when I have my sons. Or my electric bill. Or gas bill. Or phone bill. Or buy groceries. I think that "best interests of the child" should mean that I have the ability to provide a safe, stable, clean and entertaining home where my kids can stay when they're …

If they were found guilty of the crime they were accused of, yes. That's true in any case. The severity of the sentence is a hot-button topic but not really relevant here. I still think this isn't worth talking about until we figure out why the case was dismissed. Maybe it was lack of evidence, maybe it was some other factor that made it impossible to get a conviction or, yes, maybe it was because she is a woman but until we know WHY there's no sense in trying to make a gender issue out of it.
/r/MensRights05/01/13 04:50 AM

There's definitely missing information; there's not enough to go on to make this a gender issue without answering some seriously glaring questions.

I didn't have one when we got married but I snagged an associate's degree after the divorce and I'm about a year off of my BS in IT. I do homework with my girlfriend's son and I LOVE it. He has to read a book online and then take a test; I make a point to read it in a funny accent, which makes it more enjoyable. Happy New Year and thank you for talking; the perspective and insight is always welcome!

She was, by about a year or two, I think. She always used to brag about being "street smart" rather than "book smart", like the lack of a formal education was somehow a badge of pride. And you know... she did always seem to focus on one small thing and make it seem like it was the end of the world. Homework for example; yeah, I missed it on occasion but that was because it's not something I did on a regular basis with my kids (I'm still responsible for it not getting done, mind).

Oh all the time! I could never do anything right and was stuck in the "doofy dad" role. I was told what I was going to do and was always lectured (yes, lectured) on what I should do in a nasal tone that I came do despise. I felt like I wasn't really able to do anything and she would take care of it all, nevermind that when I look back she kept a shitty house, never budgeted and generally couldn't cook for shit while I worked three jobs to keep us stable. ... and heaven forbid I ever bring it up.…
/r/MensRights29/12/12 07:27 AM

That is fantastic advice and I thank you for it. It's really hard NOT to be drawn into a shouting match with her so it takes a conscious effort on my part to avoid responding in a knee-jerk fashion. I won't lie; when we were married the one thing that we did well was fight with each other. It just feels... "right" in a perverted sense of the world. Part of the reason I prefer communicating through email is that you always have a written record, too. :)
/r/MensRights29/12/12 05:49 AM

I think that's where you end up butting heads, honestly; rape is a touchy subject and implying that the victim is even a little responsible (even if you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct).
/r/MensRights29/12/12 04:38 AM
2

Now THAT I can agree with (belatedly); there seems to be a prevailing attitude that if they didn't take certain steps then the offender should get off scott-free. I will agree with you that there ARE certain things that victims of crime could do to reduce the chances of a crime happening to them (not just rape in particular) but some of them are only obvious in hindsight. It just doesn't sit well when you tell someone "well.. yanno... if you would have done X this wouldn't have happened."
/r/MensRights28/12/12 07:43 PM

But X, Y, and Z aren't always factors.
/r/MensRights25/12/12 09:05 AM

Except that it doesn't make sense. You're blaming the victim for something that they might have had control over. You're engaging in 20/20 hindsight when you say "well she wouldn't have gotten raped if she didn't dress like a whore" but we don't know that.

Your wife sounds like a psychologically abusive asshole. What really bothers me is there is a six and an eight year old that live with her that most likely have to bear the brunt of her frustration at me. She doesn't do anything directly to them but I have reason to believe that her parenting skills aren't exactly stellar. I mean, I might not win father of the year anytime soon but there are minimums that I feel she isn't meeting. Also, may I suggest that you ask yourself why you were attracted …

She told me and tried to play it off as if she accidentally realized that she had gone to school with my girlfriend's older sister. I would have believed her, but the second I told my girlfriend about it, she (girlfriend) got uncomfortable and I showed her how to make her profile more private. About ten minutes after that the ex calls me and wants to know what happened to my girlfriend's profile.

That's going to be my game-plan from here on out. If it's related to the kids (one of them gets hurt and it requires more than a band-aid, say) then she'll know, otherwise I she gets no information from me. She just doesn't need to know.

We decided about three months into the relationship that we wanted to introduce the kids and schedule a "hang out" at the beach. Yes, it was incredible early in the relationship but we were really into each other (not in that move-scene kinda infatuation way) and we wanted to make sure that each got along with the others kids. Both of us felt that if our kids had a problem with either of us then we were going to call it at that and go our separate ways. This, of course, is the exact opposite way…

They're six and eight. My youngest is on the small size for his age and he's VERY affectionate.

Not only will you two get the reward of a great relationship with your kids... but as an insignificant little side bonus, it'll drive your ex batshit crazy knowing you have that, and even more knowing that your girlfriend does, too.

I have to disagree, both in my specific case and dating in general. With me it was a simple matter; we stopped playing at who was oppressed more things got easier. Now we can talk about gender issues and actually explain where we're coming from because neither of us (being male and female, respectively) have ANY idea where the other is coming from and, for a while, thought nothing of the issues that the other held dear. In general it might be an issue of timing and tact; social issues are a touc…

The men's rights movement got away from me too. My girlfriend is a feminist. Not a die-hard, bra-burning, ball-busting, patriarchy-fighting, womyn-spelling, man hating feminist but one that fights for what she believes in in a rational, calm manner. I, being the staunch men's rights activist that I was, would get into fights with her. We fought, of all things, about who had it the worst. It almost cost me my relationship.

I have to agree; I worked in the healthcare system and there was a position that I was qualified for (back before college) that was at a women's clinic.

I'm not condoning any violence or anything No, but you're saying that it's a potential solution to your problem, which it most certainly is not. You know what killing my ex-wife would get me? I'd be in jail. I'd have my kids taken away from me and probably placed in foster care. I'd ruin any chance of getting a good job when and if I was ever released. No, you're not condoning violence or anything, you're just making a casual reference to it. Go soak your head.

It's not worth it to show her scorn. The time and energy that it would take to be contemptuous of her could be better directed elsewhere. Schoolwork and playing with my boys comes to mind.

That being said, the US can SEEM like a terrible place (especially if you read here) but if you're careful where you stick your dick and are even more careful with your social interactions then your risks of getting fucked by the dreaded Spiteful Female (who do exist but are not EVERY woman) are surprisingly small.

I never got why that was such a popular tactic; "I'll say you win but, in my mind, I win because I let you win" or something along those lines. Hell, I've used it and I still don't understand what the hell I was thinking.

I feel the same way about the general perception of atheists or any other group I identify with. It's the same no matter where you go; the worst actions get the most press and taint it for the rest of the group.

I guess I can see it from that perspective, but what's the point in dwelling on hypothetical situations? What she did was wrong, no doubt, and a man would have probably gotten a much stiffer penalty but... yeah. I guess I just see that kind of "what if"-ing to be beating a dead horse. Personal opinion, of course.

I think, honestly, that if it were to reflect poorly on anyone in your opinion, that it would be the poster rather than the group as a whole. I'm not saying that your stance is wrong or unjustified, just that your target may be a tad broad.

That's no different than children being taken away from their father, though. Forcibly removing one parent from the equation only hurts the kids. (also posted to another comment)

I planned on it as soon as I get to a place that doesn't have the draconian 'net policies that my workplace does. My Google-fu is reasonable sharp and I can find what I'm looking for. I just can't do it right this second. So, no, I'm not hoping you provide me with links. And to which "younger generation" are you referring? I'll admit that I'm not some old curmudgeon or anything but I'm also hardly fresh-faced and doe-eyed. Edit; Also, I haven't demanded anything. I just pointed out that story wa…

That's true, but I can also, most likely, find articles with contrary information. What I'm most interested in is learning where you got your information that supports your stance.

For the simple reason that women are the ones who usually want children whereas men usually don't want children. ... wait... what? That seems like an overly vague generalization.

Oh certainly! In all honesty if I could pay her directly and stop with FotC I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. Our caseworker is about a year or three from retirement and treats us as a burden rather than... whatever case workers are supposed to treat their cases like. The entire family court system up here (MIchigan) is really kind of a joke. We're past the whole "mad at each other for every little thing" stage. ... at least I am.

Yes we were, for five years. We split because we couldn't stand each other. We have two boys and no, I'm not satisfied at all but I've been told trying to get more time is near impossible in the current system. She doesn't interfere, though. I will give her that.

We have a... stable relationship but I've got a feeling she'll try and take me for as much money as she can. For example: Initially we had an unwritten agreement that I would be taking them extra overnights and she was fine with it until she found out that her support would drop considerably. She also failed to tell them when she got raises and was effectively making more than I was. ... and she's on unemployment currently.

This is why I made sure that my kids weren't bough specific kits for Christmas, but instead those big-ass boxes (big ass-boxes for you xkcd fans). ... not saying some of the kits aren't completely bitchin', but I want to get a good stash of regular blocks first. Once we get a significantly large tub we're going to move on to K'nex.

"All movements are like that" you say. That's simply not true. ... she said that all movements have a dark side and all movements have dickheads which is, for the most part, true. I like to say "there are assholes in every demographic".

You shouldn't move here for a number of reasons; shit economy, bad roads, only two seasons (winter / construction), crappy sports teams (except for recently, apparently), rampant unemployment. The list goes on. We've got an excellent fall, but otherwise... yeah... I'm trying to get out. :P

I'm not familiar with that particular incident, no, but my question remains unanswered. How many people constitute a gang? Does three do it? Would the OP have been in the right to pound those three people into a pulp if they were to try and physically detain him? Not that they did as far as I can see, but would they have been justified had it been the case?

So what's the magic number, then? How many people does it take to go from just defending yourself to going batshit and putting people in the hospital for making a grab? EDIT: This sounds more flippant than I mean to be but the question still stands. :)

"Defending yourself" and being "violent with impunity", I think, are completely different. Beating the ever-loving tar out of someone because they grabbed you could be considered excessive force.

Yes, I would do so rationally and with as level a head as I could muster. I would counter their vehemence with calm inquiries and patience, which is usually enough to at least start to diffuse a situation like that (most of the time). By telling them to "fuck off" you're confirming their idea that you're just a testicular barbarian or something to that effect. Honestly, I'm more curious as to how they found out; I didn't think it was common policy to share who is taking what courses with other s…

Thank you for including "some" in the title; while my ex-wife and I don't always see eye to eye, we make it a point to NEVER demonize each other in the eyes of our kids. We have, however, on occasion been discussing something one of our kids did and will slyly slip a "those are YOUR genes, by the way" into the conversation. Sometimes it's a race to see who can get to it first but it's NEVER malicious. That being said, it sucks the big hairy ones that this actually occurs. :/

You'll notice there is no mention of the potential "damage" to the father; imagine what a wreck you'd be if you found out your son wasn't actually your son. I feel for the kid, but he's not going to be the only one scarred by this.

Oh certainly! I'm saying I didn't know how to be a dad at that point because I was always away, always out of the house at work and when I wasn't working I was asleep so I never really learned how to be a good parent. That came after the divorce.
/r/MensRights23/11/11 09:05 PM

I agree; I make more than my ex-wife (always will, probably) but if my kids were handed over to me right after the divorce it would have been awful because, at the time, I was working two jobs and had NO idea how to be a parent because I spent all of that time working or sleeping.
