Last week I posted a story from Toronto about a win for the good guys. Another article from Toronto shows what is giveth by the courts can be taken away by the gender panderers. Article here. Excerpt:
'At 51, Tippett is broken, bankrupt and bunking in the guest room of his parents' Burlington home after a divorce settlement that's left him $75,000 in debt and racking up $1,000 more each month.
Today, he'll appear in court at a default hearing to try to explain why he can't afford to pay his ex-wife (the couple had no children) $3,300 a month, $16,000 in retroactive alimony and $42,000 of her court costs out of a complex case he himself still doesn't understand.
...
While Cormier is now getting just over $2,000 a month of his disability pay, technically Tippett is on the hook for $3,300, so each month his arrears are climbing.
"I've been given a life sentence and she's been given a cash for life ticket," says Tippett. "I actually asked my lawyer at one point, `Isn't there a human rights issue here? Don't I have the human right to have a life after divorce?'"'
Once again I am heartened to see that the comments from a liberal news site support the male on this issue. Though the writer has written a three part series on this issue. Somehow I doubt it will be very objective. Stay tuned.
