Minimum wage job and side work that pays cash

Damn I'm lucky. I inherited my parents house which she can touch in Ohio. Also she makes twice my income so no child support was order. Married 17 years and have a 350.000 house which according to Ohio law has to be sold and split. I stand to come out with at least 100 grand. Not a bad trade for a woman who spends most her time on her phone !

When we bought our house to start a family in, my ex was going to be leaving out of the country to visit family in two weeks for two months. She wanted to get everything done in the house before she left. So we hired a handy man from the internet to help us out, as we basically furnished the entire house through Ikea, and I had my limits on how much I can do, and some of the items were 2 man jobs. We spent 13 hours together converting the 4th bed room into a walk in closest, for example.

So I got time to talk to the guy, and it seemed like an odd job for a guy like him. He told me he had an engineering job back in CA, but his wife left him for another man and got custody over his 4 kids. She didn't work. She was living in their house with her AP and 4 kids, and he was sleeping in his car. He said he made well over 6 figures, but he made $11.00 once everything was taken from his check from the government and her.

He basically ran away across the country (I live in GA) and was just doing odd jobs for cash under the table so he could essentially flee across the country to escape the payments. I think it's rough to leave his 4 kids, but I wasn't going to judge him for his decisions. Thought I was so lucky my wife of 9 years wasn't like that.

Well, we got everything done, house looked perfect, she left to go on her two month trip, two weeks into it she cheats and cuts off contact with me overnight, and wants to sell the home when she got back.

Kinda funny, just the $11 an hour made me think of that guy. I hope he got out of the country and is doing okay

I’m glad we didn’t get attorneys involved, she just took half my shit and it was over. Talking to a mediator was probably the best decision.

Looks like your wife is really dumb, if you had come here earlier, we could have advised you on several tricks to postpone and inflate her legal bills, forcing her to settle for pennies on the dollar

O retired from the Canadian federal civil service, with 30 years of service. By law, if your spouse or common law lived with you for X amount of years, they are entitled to those years that they lived with you and be able to be get a lump sum payment of 50% of those years. so since my wife was with me for those 30 years that I worked for the government she’s entitled to 15 years of my service and my pension equivalency is almost $500,000. If her lawyers were faster in getting the documents and everything done correctly, which they didn’t, the Pension Centre kept sending them back because they couldn’t complete them correctly. She could’ve had closer to $850,000. It took us almost 5 years to get the divorce agreement and the provincial government to grant the divorce. It wasn’t my lawyer. It was basically her lawyer and her delays. And she never worked for a company with any pension or RSP benefits or if she did, she would cash them out when she lost her job which was at least four times and put it towards house payments or kids clothes, etc. when I told her not to that we’d make it through. We’d make it all OK. I told her to put it in an investment certificate and protect it, and also take 20 more percent to pay for the income tax which she didn’t always put behind the ball. She lives in the luxury 55+ my friend rents to her bargain price basically covers the condo fees and may be insurance and smother cost, but I pay more in my small one bedroom apartment than her. I am basically earning minimum wage in my province of about $15 an hour and can’t make a goal of it given that my rent is about 57% of my income and that doesn’t include all my insurance that I need, my car, my car insurance and fuel. certainly someone could sell the car and avoid all those costs but where I live in Alberta, the city is OK for public transit but in reality public transit isn’t feasible you need to buy groceries and etc. etc. Of course you could pay for delivery services of groceries, but why should I? Why should I be the one and now she’s working for the government and developing a pension and by time she’s 70 she’s gonna retire and she’ll have more pension than I will.it was like she almost planned as soon as I retired she was going to divorce me to get half of my pension sounds awful but the longer this goes on the more it’s to feel that way.

How are you able to live on that? That makes no sense..

I'd always made pretty good money but had some mental and physical issues for a while when my wife started cheating and we got divorced. I'd barely been able to work for a while so we were both making a really low amount. She didnt even trybfor alimony because she was afraid shed have to pay me. After the divorce went through and she couldn't ask for alimony, I got all my issues taken care of and then went and got a new job that's way better. I'm on track to make about twice what we made combined back then and she can't get a penny.

Legal system turns into legalized slavery against men

You married her so you can fuck, but in the end she fucked you

hwiegob · 2024-06-04T14:15:29+00:00

Dude, you need to charge more for anal.

JonathanApple · 2024-06-04T13:12:19+00:00

Well, your comedy is pretty good, so ya got that?

Sorry bud

Is this an advertisement for why you should use a lawyer? Even in the poorest states, you need roughly twice that to afford an apartment. So how are you paying your bills?

OldMotoxed · 2024-06-04T10:40:54+00:00

Create an LLC and start a side gig that cash flows but makes little to nothing on paper. It can be just about any business. Suddenly your vehicle, a portion of your house, and countless other things reduce your AGI meaning you bring in more money without having to show increased income.

V32M · 2024-06-04T08:10:02+00:00

Was she a stay home mom? Damn that’s brutal! Is it Cs and alimony only ?

Insertpickle · 2024-06-04T07:16:08+00:00

You need to make more money invest or idk something. Or just leave the country. This sub of men just taking it is getting a little irritating

NewDay0110 · 2024-06-04T06:38:53+00:00

Don't you wish there was fine print to read in the marriage contract that informs you of these risks?
