LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL In my case, I refused to pay anything and dared the judge to put me in jail (who is going to look after the kids, we already know ex-wife isn't capable.) I was asked to write a book about the whole thing afterwards. The whole situation is a tax you pay on being stupid enough for marrying the wrong person in the first place. I know a doctor who was married for 20-25 years, and once the kids graduated college/university, he packed up his shit, left everything to his wife and bolted. He is the happiest fucker I know - although billing $30K/month will do that too.
Perfect!! Saves me time and energy from reading garbage. And I don't even need to waste my time putting on "Ignore".
She obviously knew how to exploit the "screw-the-men" legal system. Talk about an inefficient market!
You should have. Dads like Alec Baldwin would've thanked you. Ironically he actually wrote a book on his experience, a book basically on what not to do. LOL Yes, essentially a capital loss tax. LOL I must know his identity. This is the third time that I have read about him. I am sure you are going to include him in your book.
John “J.P.” Pierpont Morgan Jr. /thread. Great post btw. I’ve thought many times of asking this question but never got around to it.
Just listened to a bit of this here: - I don't know why peopel bother to "fix" these issues in their circumstances. My book would boil down to this: - She can't legally take 100% unless your lawyers are literally retarded - Minimum is 0% - Maximum is 50% - Plus a X% cut of your income for the next X years, may be as high as 40% - If she is not actually crazy: make the deal ASAP, become friends and be good co-parents - If she is crazy, make an offer of 60-100% of current assets, give up parental rights, and move on with your life, break all contact <-- this is the thing many of you guys need to think about. Eventually, the kids will come back to you, and you can explain that you did it for their benefit even if they disagree. In the meantime, you can be free. You need to make a case for losing parental rights though, which is pretty easy if you're up for it. For example, you can "abandon" your child in a bar repeatedly (but have a friend keep an eye on them), be creative. They're going to be scarred anyway if your ex is crazy. Then approach your ex with a voluntary release of parental rights on the basis that you are a danger to your children. Of course, all this time you are "fighting" to only give 25% of your assets and no post-divorce support. "Oh no, this ruling the judge made against me after the 10th time I left little Johnny at the bar is so bad... I think we should make a deal that allows the children to be safe and lets me get the help I need" -> now you make the bolded offer, get it through, and disappear. In my case, I made the deal ASAP and after divorce, my improved mental state allowed my income to be unleashed. I 10xed it in a couple of years. Bad idea apparently, because that resulted in more years of litigation resulting in a re-litigation of custody. This is where (I believe) the ex may have successfully bribed the evaluator to submit false testimony. Once I discovered this, I resolved to go scorched earth to the point where people from the court system would have years of their work on unrelated cases undone with lawsuits galore if it continued. I heard through the grapevine that the opposing lawyers were fired from their firms and the judge retired. Surprisingly, most people are stupid and can't strategize. I think overall, I paid her about $12K, though after fighting me, apparently she is in the hole by about $80K. Dumbass. We could have just been friends instead and you would have been up at least $250K by now and maybe 4-5x that if you had invested it instead of spending it fighting me. Haha, his name is Dr. FamiliarLove
