"Family law is a fucked up mess beyond most of your wildest imaginations. I've spent over 2.5 years and $10,000 in legal expenses fighting for visitation, and FINALLY got to bring my daughter up to NC a couple of weeks ago. She doesn't have any issue with taking $1020/month from me in child support, though (and whenever she figures out that I've been promoted since that amount was set, I expect it to go up to $1400/month or so), even though some federal agency (I believe it was the IRS) did a study showing that, on average, it costs about $800/month to raise a child (which is about what it is in the case of my daughter)--just my supposed share is well over that (the mother is, on paper, liable for an amount, too, but what I pay covers all of my daughter's expenses, plus most or all of her mother's car payment. I've had to deal with my daughter being hidden from me at a neighbor's house the DAY BEFORE I moved 3000 miles away. I've driven from NC to FL to pick up my daughter when I got home from Iraq and been denied, despite a court order and a visit from the police. I went for 2 months while I was in Iraq with my daughter's mother refusing to answer the phone or even emails (when I started trying to make plans with her to pick my little girl up for visitation after I got home, she just ignored me for 2 months until I insinuated that the next contact she received from me would be from my lawyer). I've had her threaten to skip town and take my daughter with her. I could go on and on, but this gives you an idea of what kind of bullshit women get away with, all the way to the bank (in the car that you bought). [Edited on August 6, 2009 at 11:01 PM.

But don't you know? All men are evil. We deserve this shit.
Throughout history, men before us raped and killed and dominated women with their patriarchy.
And we, even though we've done nothing, have to pay for their crimes.
It's only fair.

Duke.... Ifeel for you. not been in the situation,but that's the kinda shit i worry most about somehow.....

what's so fucked is that my situation isn't unique or anything. a friend of mine that I work with doesn't really even get to see his son (he gets weekends, but his son and bitch ex-wife live in Texas). He pays about $1400-1500/month in child support, too.

seems like, for fairness sake, if one parent gets the kids and decides to move, they should have to pay transportation to get the kid to the other parent for weekends, etc.

QFE. I'm tired of the male bashing too. It reinforces female helplessness

Because black people don't control our only source of vagina.
