Hi
chopblock
I live in a state that champions the Unwed Mother and punishes the Dads right off the bat. I got screwed and forced to live on a fraction of my take home (after taxes) and when I made a court date to reevaluate my dyer condition, the judge said, and I quote:
"just get another job", raised my child support and added daycare.
I walked out of that court room completely disillusioned about the concept of fairness, so I don't expect it anymore, I demand it.
On a related note, that same Son (from a previous) is 17 now and I'm still paying daycare....????? I would complain but am scared of the courts because I am starting to try and have a family, again.
Do not kid yourself, the old saying is true
"It's cheaper to keep her"
Hell, my ex is a meth-head and doesn't work. She told me that I'm her sole income, well my Son's child support is.
I completely agree with you on the consequences thing fortunately for me that I've learned from my Wife the art of how to bold faced lie to you in your face and get away with it.
It sounds strange but I have actually been able to use this technique in a corporate setting, it's great. It's a bit like politics and involves legalities and burden of proof, if your married (to a woman liar) I'm sure you understand.
It's funny because she knows it, I bold face have told her what I plan on doing (as a test) and she can't do anything about it, because she does the same thing.
As I understand it, as long as there is no hard proof your safe and can just walk away from it.
She is still a lot better at it than I am and simply because she's a woman has the potential to hurt me 1000 times wurst than I can ever dream of. I hold my own though and have embarrassed just being a man and letting her deal with it, what ever than means.
Sometimes she tries to call me on something, I'm like "holly isht I'm caught" in my head, but keep my cool.
BURDEN OF PROOF B____!

I just plead the 5th (I prefer not to lie if I don't have to) and leave it at that. If she persists I simply bring up her dirt I've been overlooking but keeping notes on, and all is good once more.
Another scud blown out of the air.
I know a sad way to live but you made do with what you have, survival 101.
