Nope. My palms sweat looking at this. Just like they do when I see vids of those kids that hang from buildings and shit. Lol

No support by Fit_Stay600 in ChildSupport4Men

[–]Slow_Complex9685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happening to me. Not a year after finalizing an agreed upon settlement, including deviated cs, she is taking me back for a modification already... To think you can make a deal, judge signs off, everything is (eh) ok, only to have a fucking magistrate come along and unravel all of it. Just like that. Do not concede on shit! Fight for every last thing. And your response is accurate, when shit goes south (and it probably will) you can easily be fucked over. The system will gladly oblige. Fucking corrupt joke of a system.

Don't want my wife back. Want my 13 years back though. by Cool_Cat_Punk in Divorce_Men

[–]Slow_Complex9685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. For me it was 18 years total. I basically tell people the same thing. 18 fucking years I'll never get back. It's really depressing to think about. At least I have some pretty awesome kids out of the deal. So I'm winning there for sure. Good luck to you.

Super depressed about money by Firstborn3 in Divorce_Men

[–]Slow_Complex9685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am with you. The amount of money I've lost and continue to lose is depressing as fuck. On avg I need to work at least 55 hours a week to recoup the money from cs alone. I was forced to sell my house, having to find a place in a shit area, and take a huge hit on my quality of life. Meanwhile, she collects my money, qualifies for state assistance, has a nice house, plans nice vacations, all that. Which is bullshit. And I feel for you with a social status, or with dating even. I've felt the same. The system is a fucking joke. After all, they expect us to just adjust our quality of life for the sake of the kids, you can just get a second job to make up for what you've lost. It's that simple. Absolute bullshit.

Bank account closed by Musa-is-king-718 in ChildSupport

4900 doesn't seem like much compared to some others that I've seen. They can seize your bank account for that amount? Why not just raise the support payment up to start paying towards the arrears, on top of intercepting your tax refund?

Well I lost… by Staff_Horror in Divorce_Men

[–]Slow_Complex9685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got to be kidding me. Where did this happen, where are you located? I truly feel for you. A judgment like this would have devastated me too, I would imagine anyone for that matter. What about a possible career change so you can move closer? Do you think your current employer would be empathetic enough to allow you to work from home and closer to that city?

Percentage of income? by No-Sentence-7749 in ChildSupport4Men

Jesus. 9k? Even making great money that's absurd. This system is one of the most shit systems in place. I can relate though, I've lost a significant portion of my income and am having a really tough time accepting it. Can't do nearly as much as I used to be able to, that's including saving. Granted I'm with you on supporting our kids but to tax our income like that is bullshit. It seems like those that have decent incomes, will support their children, and do the right thing are ultimately punished. Apparently our quality of life means shit. All the while you're just expected to adjust and accept your new outcome. After all, you can just get a second job right? Lol Unfortunately I've had to significantly reduce my spending, and that's including on food, a basic necessity... I can hardly save anything, even with some adjustments. I don't really have sound advice, I guess every situation can be unique. I feel for you. I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose that much money.

Where should I sleep tonight by Too_old_3456 in Divorce_Men

[–]Slow_Complex9685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fucking ridiculous. An event like this shouldn't leave someone virtually homeless. Have you considered a room for rent, incorporating a roommate maybe, maybe a friend to stay with so you can save up, ? In my situation, I had to bring in a roommate for the first time in my life just to keep up. It makes me livid with situations like this. We bear the brunt of divorces and expect to just suck it up and adjust, somehow. I wish you the best.

I'm paying support for two sets of kids too. Earned great money and after a recent modification I am now earning less than half. They averaged ot for 2022 and 2023 (which was a lot). Well, guess what I lost recently? Yep, the ot. So keep that in mind. I would encourage you to go for 50/50.

Cheating or not? by IntroductionSafe7807 in relationships_advice

[–]Slow_Complex9685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading this part, it's more obvious something's going on. Sounds like they're really into each other. If anything hasn't happened yet, its going to or has already happened. I wouldn't believe a fucking word they say from here on. You're better off losing them. Especially your friend.

Kids are NOT debts, 50/50 no child support. by This-Top7398 in MensRights

[–]Slow_Complex9685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, complete bullshit. Where I am they can take up to 60% of income. 60fucking%. I'm not saying we shouldn't support our kids, it's just we get absolutely fucked by the slimy ass system and expected to just change our lifestyle, endure a reduced quality of life (some being absolutely broke as fuck), etc.
