    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No, you got every single bit of that wrong. I own a very nice house, she rents a house. The kids eat all they want, healthy food, and a bit of junk too. My ex wife applied for food stamps because she qualifies if she claims the kids, and the government also gave them free health care. So...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, I suppose that would have gotten across the same point. I said it the way I did because your way seems like the way an asshole would try to get his point across. /shrug And yeah big. I looked into it when I got divorced, I was told it would cost a minimum of $7k out of pocket, and...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My children have great free health care currently, so no, I haven't spent any time looking at alternatives. I'm sure I will next year when the government thing drops off. Or, like you said, I may just get married to save myself thousands a year? I don't know if you remember.. but I did...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I remember checking right after the divorce and going "Jesus, that's still way too high", but no clue on what the actual figure was. As for the rest, there is a lot of grow up, man up, get your shit together. I really don't see the need. I look around at other people and think "Wow, their...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't think they are always wildly exaggerated. I know a husband and wife, here is what they are doing. He is ex military (although not one of the two guys from an earlier example) who is on disability because he says he has such bad vertigo and motion sickness. Basically, he claims he...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's a weird set up, it basically goes like this- For the employee - 100% free. I pay nothing except whatever percentage the insurance doesn't cover on bills, seems to usually be about 10%, only used it a couple of times. For Family- comes out to $22k a year If two people both work for us...

    That's totally what I said. Or was I advocating wild west style showdowns in the street? Who cares, lets just make huge jumps in logic. Me- I don't think our education system works very well. Khane- I'm with you, burn the schools and rape the faculty.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I didn't say it was ok, I said I'm used to it, so it doesn't tend to phase me. It's like if I lived in an area with a lot of racism my whole life, I don't imagine that people saying racist shit would shock me like it does now. All I was saying was that people in different circumstances, with...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm sorry was this news to you? I pay taxes, I understand people will abuse a broken system, I don't get pissed the fuck off about it. Wasn't there a study done at one point that came to the conclusion that 9 out of 10 people would steal from an employer if they were certain they couldn't be...

    And Jesus, I was just googling lawyers in the area so I could call one tomorrow, and I didn't realize a guy I know is a criminal/family lawyer. I've even been to his office before when we picked him up for a road trip thing. I don't think he's ever met my ex either, so no issues there...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I let her claim both kids, so neither was listed as a dependent for me. However, when I did test filling out my W-2's with a dependent, Turbotax said I didn't have to pay those fee's because the health insurance provided by my work was unreasonable (anything over 8% of your total earnings)...

    Home Improvement

    Yeah, I built a wall, finished the floor, installed AC and a fan, cut a hole in the wall and put in french doors connecting the garage to the living room. The whole deal. From the outside of the house the garage door is still there, but its been walled in and insulated on the inside. I do...

    Ohh I'll cop to being a giant pushover, but that's not just relegated to her. I do shit for other people daily that I do not want to do. I get walked on and taken advantage of because of it sure. If you needed help with a computer, I would say "Yeah Khane, just send it to me and it sort it...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Hahah, yeah, my Kindergarten and 1st Grade children were hitting pretty close to home with all of their questions about how finances work. I wasn't prepared for the questions they had about the morality or ethics of the situation, but their cold and disappointed stares once I tried really made...

    Yeah, I make just over 60k, and my X makes 29k. Not sure where 6 figures and 100,000+ are coming from. I pay all of my taxes and am not, nor have I ever been on any type of government assistance. I personally just think our entire welfare system is a huge mistake, and am not surprised that...

    Hey, who is this group!?! It's like human beings all being reasonable and just having a discussion. I'm glad I checked the thread now, I sat down at the PC and went "Should I even bother?", but lo and behold! OK, lets see if I can cover all the questions and stuff. In regards to my X...

    Yeah, seeing a lawyer is on my agenda. I work for an Indian tribe, I do not have benefits like that. As far as the talk of income, and food stamps, I'm guessing that's a regional thing? Close to 30% of the population here falls below the poverty line (I just checked) with an average income...

    Anyways, I'm leaving work in a minute, I may check this later but I may not. I know no one likes to hear shit contrary to their viewpoint, but this just gets grim. I'm reminded right now of a friend I used to have. He was a black cloud of misery and self pity. He would just shit on anything...

    Serious turbulence? Even though you said relative to whats normal, you have to admit that its understandable she be concerned when I move a woman in with me that I've known for 3 months and is 2 weeks divorced or something, and that she have issues with the first mothers day she is asked to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Technically, what everyone here said was going to happen was that she was going to show up in court with a lawyer, take the house, take the kids, fuck me sideways and ruin my life. I'm sure I can go back and find where a ton of people were saying she was documenting everything, where I was...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    1.) No, I asked her to cover half of it, she didn't want to and was ok just letting the kids lose health insurance. I paid it all myself instead of that happening. 2.) Yes, she had been, unbeknownst to me on the food stamps. She didn't end up moving into the assisted living place, or going...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Ehhh, if you do bother to read it all, the short version is still "Nothing really bad has happened... but I'm thinking of covering my ass anyway for the future." Another factor being that I could see the kids wanting to live with me on a more full time basis when they get a bit older, and their...

    Jesus, I don't even know if if its worth posting right now, as it will probably be swallowed up by 20 more pages of back and forth over this nonsense, but here goes all the same. First, quick recap - Filed for divorce in Dec of 2013. All super mutual, no lawyers. We ended up splitting on...

    Yeah yeah, I'm going to. I've been busy and the only time I seem to get on here is the middle of the night, and my lady is sleeping all of 5 feet away. Don't really want to wake her up when I no doubt type up a book. Nothing super awesome or anything, just some things about the divorce I'm...
