Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The divorce statistic no one talks about

Let me tell y'all something screwed up in this state. By the way, I love this state and it does a lot to take care of its people. But as in most states the mother gets custody and the father is assessed child support which I guess is somewhat fair. But, a lawyer friend of mine who has handled a lot of domestic cases tells me that the husband is the presumptive father and he only has 6 months after the birth of the child to contest paternity. If you find out the kid isn't yours and can prove it with a DNA test it is just tough luck. I have a young friend that spent many a night at my house with my kids who is now 40 years old and has 2 kids by his former wife and after all has been said and done I don't think either one is his. During his divorce hearing on adultery his wife's boyfriend (now Husband) admitted a long time affair and said he was sure the little boy was his. Tough luck says the judge, you are the father of record. I was asked by his parents to help him arrange a DNA test when the little girl was born 21 years ago but then they backed out.

All of his SS until she remarries.

Perfect recap...

Fugg everything about the JDR courts... everything.

I recently went through a divorce. She stopped fighting me on 50/50 custody when I agreed to pay her like she had primary. Honestly, I think she likes being a half time mom.

No-fault divorce is a travesty. And I still can’t figure out why I have to pay tax on child support I pay.

Love my kids, and money will get better each time one turns 18.

She is horrid, evil creature, but it is partly my fault as well - should have kicked her sl*t ass to the curb years ago.

The system is criminal and the people that work in it are akin to battered housewives. Their definition of “normal” or a “good deal” is anything but. When you try to speak to them rationally they just stare back at you with two eyes and a broken nose and ask what you’re so concerned about.

Half time mom is a huge motivation for women to bail on a marriage. And it’s glorified on social media.

Most women these days can barely muster being a mediocre mother and have horrible attachments to there kids. So ditch the guy, get paid, and only deal with your kids for two weeks a month.

Add to that, getting to shop around and play the field with numerous suitors that are more than willing to try and "wine and dine" their way into position like a track horse at the Kentucky derby.

Yeah it's brutal. Men enable the crap out of them and help create these monsters. Plenty of loser men who would gladly date a recently divorced mom with 50% custody.

Seems as though the younger and older guys do it
The middle aged think they can rebuild in time.

The young are idealistic, the old would lose half their pension and other

Know some guys that blasted themselves in both camps.

I read a few days ago about you describing your church. . Your a good Christian man. However, I was shocked that you even go to church. Good for you . As for me, I'm on my way... Soup Sunday today.

I don't get that. One of the hard rules I had about dating was "no kids at home". Still can't imagine inserting myself into the life of school age kids. They have their lives turned upside down enough as is.

What about the Brady Bunch?

Swooning over Tulsi Gabbard is the first clue.

“Enable” - yes we do and yes I did. It’s not like many of us have a lot of experience with it. I was just trying to hold together a family, especially for my kids.

I can see how it rips guys apart. I pay her more in child support that she has made in her life and I live tight. And the kids pay for it.

I’m in my situation, I think I have some good things coming that help me keep my sanity. A lot of guys don’t have that. What kept me going through the worst of it was the knowledge that my kids needed me, and the prayers and love of a good woman - my mom.

Don’t let the world (or the hoe) beat you! Hang in there

Today, 30% of men under 30 haven't had sex in the last year. They are more than happy to insert themselves into the lives of school age kids so long as they can also insert themselves into mom.

Here's another stat.

30% of Women on Tinder are married. That translates to about 3-4% married women in the U.S ages 18 to mid 50's. That doesn't count Bumble, Plenty of Whales, Ashley Maddison, Ok Cupid, Zoosk, Hinge, etc., and most of the guys on these apps don't even care if they are married.

Keep an eye on how your wife handles her phone. If she starts laying it face down, muting it, and spending more time on it in the bathroom, car, outside etc., you've got problems.

Problem with marriage is men want women not to change, but they do. Women want men to change, but they don't.

When my first marriage went south, it was painful she was whoring around.
I was happy when the divorce was final. I was really happy when the child support ended. By the time my divorce was final I despised her. Never wanted to harm myself over her though.
