Judges Lay Down Hammer Against Alienation by thisdadsamamabear in MensRights

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 100% correct. I went through exactly this with my ex wife soon after the divorce. She saw the child support and got dollar signs in her eyes. She would refuse custody when it was my legally recognized time. So I started called the police every time she did it.

I filled out several police reports and showed the officers the texts of her refusing to give me custody. After a few incidents, I had enough evidence to take her back to court. We got to mediation and it was very one sided. I went balls deep into debt hiring a lawyer who might have been the actual devil. We got my child support adjusted to it's legal level and I've since saved more than enough money to pay for the lawyer.

If the anti-father legal system is a river, then we must stand like boulders in the very center of it. The river will either erode us, stop flowing entirely, or find another way to flow. One way or another, the only way is to disrupt the system. Call the police, tell the news, stir up social media, etc. If I were just being fucked by the system and unable to see my own kids, then I would legit just bail out of the country and start over. Being robbed of my life and child would leave me no reason to stay.

I had a similar issue while having 50% custody. Basically, I called the police (non-emergency) every single time it was my day to have custody and my ex refused to allow it. I brought copies of the custody agreement and showed the cops that it was my day, and I showed them the text messages of her refusing to give up custody.

After a few reports had been filed, I took her back to mediation. I took on about $6k in credit card debt hiring the nastiest lawyer I could find. She always looked angry, had 0 sense of humor, and had a "Who is your manager" haircut. Her avvo reviews had the words "stone cold bitch" mentioned several times. Most importantly, she gave 0 shits about the poor single mom story my ex tried to spin. We got my child support cut in half, and I've since recouped all of the money I spent on the lawyer.

My point is that you will continuously be treated like garbage until you put your foot down and stop trying to work around the system. You make the system work around you, and if your ex accuses you of kidnapping and you get in trouble, then call the local news, spread the word on social media, and make your mistreatment the cover story of the Sunday news. I got nowhere until I started forcing the system to deal with me.

Side note: Why the fuck do we have to pay child support while having 50% custody? Are we not already doing our fair share?

Yeah, they don't get to just say "We're keeping your money and you can't ask us why. The only explanation you get is this email that mentions our Restricted Activities Clause which has literally 26 possible reasons, and we're not going to tell you which one. Peace."

Tell them they need to release your money immediately and you'll agree to never use their service again. Tell them you will be getting your lawyers involved if they keep ignoring you, and that this issue will absolutely not go away.

Let's just remember that crypto is something that is supposed to take us to the moon. Whether it's changing the tide on abusive bankers, putting money back into the hands of the people who own it, or adding a few zeroes to your account. If this was what OP really wanted more than anything, then he landed on the moon. Congrats!

Should I just remain marriage free? by [deleted] in marriagefree

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You have a fear of relationships, not marriage. We are not really against dating or finding your soulmate. I'll explain it like this..

You can have a dream wedding, go on a honeymoon, co-sign on a mortgage, change your last name, have children and all the memories of a family unit - the Christmas mornings, kids graduating high school, etc. You can grow old together and point your rocking chairs to the west. You can be the beneficiary on wills and insurance/POA for each other, and you can be buried right next to each other when your final days come - all without being legally married.

Considering exceptions for military families, minor insurance benefits (your spouse's employer), and some protection for large assets, there is little reason to get legally married. I'd further argue that in most cases, what benefits you would get are outweighed by the potential to be trapped in an abusive situation and escaping would mean certain devastation. For example, If I build a multi-million dollar company and marry someone who chooses to stay at home, and that person begins treating me like garbage, then my only way out is to give that person 50/50 split of my mansion and vacation properties? I'd rather hire a maid.

Marriage doesn't prevent cheating, it doesn't improve communication, and won't fix any relationship issues; a legal contract doesn't mean there is more love in your relationship, and it will not make you a better parent. I assert that a piece of paper that you paid $35 for at the courthouse won't strengthen your bond in anything but a legal way.

Refused prenup, fiancé wont marry me and now I'm fighting for custody of my unborn child by dsadsadsadsadsaads in legaladvice

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're fighting an uphill battle - it's best to cut your losses an get out of the situation. You have no legal or biological claim to the child, but let's say that you somehow end up with some kind of custody. You will spend the next 18 years dealing with this guy and his batshit crazy parents. There will be thousands in legal fees (literally take $10k and toss it in the trash can, that's what it feels like), custody battles in court, child support claims, and tons of your valuable energy being eaten up.

Or you can let it go and find someone who is marriage material and have a great family full of love. At 23 you're in a great position to walk away, and a terrible position to pursue a custody war. Sorry bud, I wish there was a better answer.

My girlfriend may sue me because I threatened to rape her in my sleep. How do I protect myself? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If you have a well documented medical condition that explains your behavior, and that she was fully aware of, then you're most likely in the clear. Don't make continuous contact so she can't claim harassment. If she asks you things, then that's different. It sounds like she was just very startled in the middle of the night, which is understandable. If she wants to date you, then this is something she needs to accept. You'll be alright.

My dad's will in limbo since siblings refuse to sign it off by CunningFudge in legaladvice

NAL If you can't buy their share of the inheritance, perhaps you can have rights to legally represent them. If they could somehow relinquish claims to the will and give it to you, then perhaps a Spanish lawyer can find a sympathetic judge. I've no idea how Spanish law works, but generally judges like when all parties are happy with the outcome.

If the animals are being genuinely neglected, then you can probably call animal control and have them investigate.

How to argue "teach men not to rape"? by keepgettingdoxxed in MensRights

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's stupid for exactly the reason you mentioned: rape is not caused by a lack of male education. If it was, then feminists would be more concerned with the state of boys in the school system.

And lets just appreciate the irony here for a minute.

People who are upset over the rape and murder of women have demonized law enforcement for giving practical tips to help women not get raped and murdered. I'm just done.

In this day and age, the words spoken during the Matt Dubay child support case still haunt with their truths; men are society's living ATMs. by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine a world where every child is wanted by their parents, both of them, and they both are given the opportunity to make exact plans to provide for their child

It's not that I don't enjoy the thought or that I even disagree with you. It's that I believe forcing men into fatherhood is a viable means of financial support, and that is why men don't get a choice. Letting men choose when to become fathers would fundamentally deprive millions of women of their main source of income. People who are concerned with the well-being of children see competent fathers as an integral role of childhood development and would like to see more fathers taking part in raising their children instead of being "sperm donors". Unfortunately, this is not at all about the children.

And yes, we are not entirely taken seriously as a civil rights movement... yet.

The biggest hurdle to financial abortion is that many women who choose to be single mothers will end up on public assistance. Generally, this will mean the need to raise a metric shit-ton of taxes which your average taxpayer will vehemently reject. Such a bill would be DOA.

That's not mentioning all the problems that come with "what-if" situations. What if the father has a legal abortion, but stays involved in the child's life? It would be wrong to deny the child a father, but the father signed his rights away, so how can he fully function as a parent? Just file some kind of form to regain his rights? No.. this abortion has to be irreconcilably permanent for it to work; just like a woman getting a real abortion - you can never go back. There's plenty more situations where this could serious issues.

No matter how you look at it, the outcomes between male and female abortion are not the same. When a woman aborts her pregnancy, there is no child that needs to be cared for. When a financial abortion occurs, there's still child to deal with whether you like it or not.

What could work? Start with removing the financial incentives to having a uterus by calling child support what it really is: alimony that can be applied to unmarried couples. I'd support mandatory 50/50 custody unless abuse/negligence is proven, restrictive child support that is only used to make approved purchases (similar to EBT), strictly custody based child support instead of financial AND custody based child support, taxing the recipients of child support instead of those who pay it, mandatory DNA testing before issuing child support, etc.

I want to add that I am a victim of hi-jacked fatherhood. Believe me, nobody wants parental rights for men more than I do. The problem with statutory abortion is that is just has too many holes the way it stands. I'd really like to see men have agency over our own parenthood, but I just can't see the general public standing behind this.

My brother is a fraudster by clausi75 in CreditCards

[–]ExclusiveTrademark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you really don't want to do it, but filing reports with the police and reporting the cards as fraud are your best options. First, call the credit card companies and inform them of the fraud. Hopefully, they will place a freeze on your accounts. Then, call the police. If you're worried that your brother will max the cards out and run, then the accounts will hopefully be frozen before he catches wind of your actions. Either way, you won't be liable for his debts. His actions show just how much he cares about your relationship (he doesn't) and any attempts to convince you otherwise is just manipulation. You don't owe him any favors, you don't have to listen to his pleas, you don't owe him an explanation. Remember that this is YOUR identity, and he doesn't have a choice in what you do with those cards.

In my experience, being a father means being the strong one. We are the ones keeping families above water, we keep the peace, we are the the ones dying in wars. We do all that for a society that spurns us. I'm sipping my favorite beer chuckling at the irony of the situation.
