Man falls into a coma after car crash, court chooses to move forward with divorce/custody hearing, awards full custody to wife along with 6 figures plus interest for the time he was in a coma.

That reads like an Onion headline

MARRIED

If the wife wanted a divorce, she should definitely be allowed to do that regardless of whether he is in a coma or not. Maybe an annulment or something, but everything else is fucked. You can't just decide all of that without his representation.

He shouldn't have represented himself, he should have had a lawyer.

Crazy that this bullshit is allowed And people wonder why no guy wants to marry. Shocking right.

Family court screw men over 99% of the time but this story looks super fake. This was supposed to be a hearing for the custody of a child, not a divorce hearing, why would he have to pay his ex-girlfriend's debts and why would she get his house ? This makes 0 legal sense.

Plus the whole coma part is the icing on the cake "He can't come to the hearing because of an accident/because he's in a coma ? How dare he ?"

Stuff like that is why we got the higher suicide rate.

Which country is this? This is so fucked up

need read whole thing. he admits - I look forward to the day I can share that update. I wish I could say I did everything right I made lots of mistakes when this first started and pissed off the judge when I first got into family courts. I have matured and learned a lot from being in the coma it made me reflect on lots of things and poor choices I made. I had such an ego and was cocky before the accident I was really unbearable. I made tons of mistakes. Thanks for your kindness.
this story needs a whole lot of back-up to be fully explained - not in some biased title line - he got the judge's assistants fired & a whole lot of other crap he did - so - this could happen to anyone who acts disrespectful to the courts WHOEVER they are - that is not a smart move. & BTW his "assistant" sounds pretty stupid imho.
i do feel sorry for the guy - but even he admits he acted not that good in the beginning. i hope things work out for him & his daughter.

The OP writes that he was not married. No divorce

Cases like this are easy to get set aside and reheard, well normally.

I always refered to women as a ball and chain. If you get married oland/or have kids, don't fall overboard because she will make sure you sink to the bottom of the deep, dark sea.

Frankly I doubt that this particular story is true. Not that the courts can’t screw people over.

This is a literal human rights violation

As the original author of the post I want to make it clear family courts suck for both men and women. I don't associate with men's rights organizations. I understand that some in the men's rights are here for the right reasons but unfortunately from my experience they are usually more negative and anti women. I am sorry for any men that have suffered from family court but please leave me out of this.
