Child support questions... Posted: 1/26/2006 11:37:37 PM
I would never pay less than what the court ordered me to do so in this situation. Even if the wife said I could pay less that would just come back to bite ya in the butt. The court doesnt have to pay attention to what she said, only what he was supposed to pay. Besides, when you were married the money went to the family anyway so as long as the scales are fair I can't see it being a hardship. Especially not at 25%. I know guys here that are paying 25% on child support and 25% on alimony, which leaves them 50% left over and they aren't complaining.

Crying is healthy, but if it consumes you then you need to seek counseling to help as well. And try not to make future prospects compete with your late husband, no one will ever compair to your memories and it is not really fair to them to make it that way. Nebraska is a good state, lots of fine folks there, dont look at it as lonely, look at it as having a the chance at a fresh start. The opportunity to meet some one nice, and also to meet new friends should be exciting not depressing. Chin up, keep the pictures of your kids close.

Keep her in your thoughts.... Posted: 1/26/2006 9:55:49 PM
I lost a neice to SIDs. I have three kids and I was Mr. Paranoid during all three... my youngest is 1 now and I still am paraniod. I would say they need to hold it together until they can do a paternity test, which would settle the question once and for all. But also, he can always go back to his Dr. and have it checked out to make sure the procedure worked. I have heard of instances where it did not work like it was supposed to. Either way, if it turns out to be his kid he has some serious apologizing to do.

THE EX, CHILD SUPPORT, AND A NEW BABY Posted: 1/26/2006 7:10:55 PM
This is a tough issue on both sides. I know on the male side of it I have met dads paying child support for children they have custody of, or children that at the age of 18 left thier mom to be with thier dad. So, why does she still getting child support? I also know dads that get half what women in the exact same situation get, and it doesnt seem fair. Now, I also know women that dont get nearly what they should, and many that dont get any at all. I know women that are supposed to get it, and dont and it never seems to catch up like it should. Then there are those that are paying child support on children that are not even thiers just because it was a LTR, and she is still collecting from the previous dad. In short, horror stories from both sides. Face it the system is broken. The only way to fix it is to take it out of the states hands and federalize it. There is too much biase in the state laws, some favoring the women to extremes, some favoring men to extremes. The Federal government is already half way involved as it is anyway. Eliminate gender baise from the laws. Justice is supposed to be blind, we should make it that way. Besides which gender biased laws or laws applied unequally are unconstitutinal. Base child support solely on the income the person required to pay it makes, but include all income that person makes. Seems simple enough, so why cant we get it done? I mean, aren't we the voters?

Profile says friendship... but description says more.. Posted: 1/26/2006 12:55:55 AM
Well I guess it is the other way around for me, being a man I dont think it works the same as it does for women on here. I dont get emails from women here... except two I sent emails out to and I sent those out because they indicated clearly on all levels just friends. For me its not about wording the profile or responding to emails (again dont get em) but rather me worrying about responding to thier ads when it is a little ambigious as to what exactly they are looking for. But I think I will take the advice listed previously and just email them and ask up front and see how that works. And just a bit of info: I have posted on platonic websites before, and found more people there were actually dating then looking for platonic. And I have seen alot on here looking for just friends, but again alot of those in my area I just wasn't sure of what exactly they were looking for. Thanks!

I am sorry, but that was what I was trying to say.. the advocates have a long list of lawyers that often, and most of the time, work for free for women in your position.. its worth a shot, and good luck to you.. cause I just cant understand a man not wanting to take care of his kids... I couldnt live without mine and if I had to.. I sure would want to make sure they had what they needed. Uck the whole mentality... I always wanted kids no way I could turn my back on em... Again, good luck to you and I hope you get what you need.

I have to say I did take it for a long time, and I always held out hope that it would change someday, that she would change. But, my daughter is 8 years old now. And I can't help but ask my self "If I dont teach her how to stand up and get out of an abusive relationship, who will?". Sometimes the kids change everything... Just a thought.

Yea I am in Illinois too. We have very severe laws against dead beat dads. I have as yet to meet a single woman in this state that, after following thru in court, failed to get her money or at least get the guy thrown in jail and his wages garnished. If you cant afford the lawyer or your's isn't doing it for you... got talk to Sara's Inn. I hate them they are militant, but they get the job done and right quick. In Illinois there is no reason to not be getting your money or at least justice for not getting it.... Good luck!

(w/ younger children) - March of the Penguins: How many times? Posted: 1/25/2006 4:20:56 PM
Ice Age... and they still laugh at every scene. Any Barbie movie - my daughter has three so far they each get played at least once a day. Any Hotwheels movie - My son has two and they get played at least once each day. I have alot of Disney movies.. I think most that they have made.. so there is enough variety to keep me from going completely nuts. But hey, I watched LOTR and SW EIII pretty much once a day solid for two weeks myself, so I guess sometimes it is us big kids too lol.

LOL, good point. And that does make sence, I think many of us have learned over the years that friendship can be a great place to start when looking for that special someone. I just worry about the risks of contacting them if they are looking for more.. I dont want to lead them on. Thanks for the post!

It's not you its societies mentality. Instant gratification, everything high tech, gotta keep on the go, moving at all times to keep up kinda mentality. We have become very impatient people, and I think rather intolerant as well. They didn't get instant gratification, or at least didnt get it quick enough.. and moved on. Thier loss. Me I will take my time and do it right this time... well that is when I get around to going out and looking again... Good luck to you on POF!

Profile says friendship... but description says more.. Posted: 1/24/2006 11:16:30 PM
This is starting to confuse me, and perhaps even annoy a little bit. I am here looking for friends only, I am not ready to date again nor in the position to either. This is one of many places recommended to me to find friends because of the ablility to mark your profile as looking only for friends. So, I look up profiles of women in my area that SAY they are looking for friends.. and it says on the profile "I am seeking a man for friendship". But, when I read the description of themselves they state there that they are looking for long term, or romance, or thier soul mate, or thier knight in shining armor, or thier next husband. So... call me silly but isnt that "I am seeking a man for dating"? Or LTR or stuff like that? I feel like I am being mislead by them.... what ever happened to "just friends"? Thanks all!

I dont want to post more than twice and get violated by POF, but I just thought of another thing as well: On his email he said 'break into' the house.. why break in if you already have a key? And if he doesnt have a key.. then why change the locks out? I mean.. he was talking about breaking in...

Divorce advice- abusive husband Posted: 1/24/2006 10:04:26 PM
the laws vary so much from state to state here. She is in a different state than me, I am not sure if her cousin is also in that state.. so it make it hard to give direct advice.. thats why I suggested the courthouse and lawyers and womens advocate groups.. they will know what to do in this situation. And take any and all proof with you.. but please bear in mind what you do and how far you go with it is your choice.. they will try to take over and demand you do what they say.. evaluate each step and determine what is best for you. Also I noticed she said restraining orders.. I dont know about her state.. but here that is not an Order of Protection... it doesnt list address' on it.. only that he has to stay away, and you have to ask for the no contact part.. it isnt automatically put on there. This means if she is not at thier house... he can go there and stay there. And if she shows up she cant kick him out.. in fact she would not be able to go into the house as it would violate her own restraining order. I am not sure what would happen next... but that much I do know. And like I said.. I dont know what exactly is on her restraining order... which is why I cant stress enough for her cousin to seek out the advocates... I hope this helps... I hate to hear about this stuff going on... Good luck to your cousin!

Divorce advice- abusive husband Posted: 1/24/2006 9:29:27 PM
Okay how do I put this best.... um... lol.... if you go to the police and ask advice.. they will tell you to go talk to a lawyer.... they will not give you any advice on what to do in a situation like this, or what you can do about the house etc. If you are in trouble or reporting a crime they will of course help you. In this case.. they would not run out and arrest the guy for violating the restraining order (at least not here in Il), they would tell you to take it back to court and let the judge issue a warrant for his arrest. We do have the same laws here for men and women... but they are not applied equally. For instance.. my wife was allowed to lie on an order of protection.. it was proved she lied and she even admitted it.. the judge said they do not hold women liable for perjury and let it go. Here when I went into the courthouse to seek protection.. I was lied to for six hours while my wife was rushed thru the process to file hers before I could. I had proof.. she had none. To this day neither the advocates that helped her lie (and they knew she was lying she was dumb enough to tell em and they even admitted it in court), or her have ever been held accountable. Me I have it on my record and they refuse to remove it even thought it was dropped because it was found out she was lying and made it all up. I could go on and on about how neither the police nor child welfare will do anything about her abuse.. but no sence to cause I dont want this to be about me or go off thread.... I still say the courthouse advocates are best suited to help her in this situation.. and you have no idea how much it pains me to say that.... lol

I will answer this the best way I know how: I come onto POF.... check my one or two emails and come into the forum. My friend comes onto POF, sifts thru HER three pages of emails, fights thru her dozen or so IM's (she needs to turn em off lol)... and rarely gets time to come into the forums. so uh where is the time for her to really really spend on each email and IM finding out all about the person she is talking to?? lol. Thats not to say there aren't insincere people on here. They abound everywhere and thats part of the process... weeding them all out. And, honestly dude, if they cant find the time to spend getting to know you then yes they may just very well miss out on thier soul mate, but uh they arent the ones sending six hundred emails a day lol. Good luck to ya!

I have three kids now, 8girl, 5boy, and 1girl. And the thing with the clothes.... lol yea thats a girl thing alright lol. My daughter is 8 and still learning to read (learning impairment), so that actually takes about 3 hours a night of work. The five year old takes about half an hour if that. It is tough but its the little things that get you through, that and knowing the pay off in the end. Seeing three wonderful kids grow up and have wonderful lives of thier own. And the pay back is pretty cool when ya get old and they have to take care of you! I wouldnt trade a moment with my kids for anything in the world...

Ours must be pretty progressive here: Forms of contact included on Ordes of Protection, restraining orders etc: Email, Text, phone (of any kind) electronic communications third party posted messages posted forums mail and or postal items of any kind notices other than legally required etc.... I dont have the complete list right now. and seriously I have alwasy considered the police allies.. but the the biggest complaint here by womans advocate groups is lack of police education on womens rights and domestic laws as well as lack of co-operation. Thats why we actually have a womens advocate now posted at the local police station.

Considering how many times I have heard women tell me the police would not help them, I would say dont go to them for advice. Go to the womens advocates at the local courthouse. They not only know what to do, what you can do, etc... but they also will stand by you and help you get it all done. And yes the laws vary greatly from state to state. But that is what the advocates are there for, to help you thru it all.

abusive relationships rarely if ever work out. I gave mine ten years, but enough is enough and it is time to leave. Some abusers will always be abusers and its hard to have a healthy relationship when one is a victim. I dont know what the stats are about men being abused, but I know most men dont report it and are too ashamed to admit it. I do know that most men I know of in my age bracket do report having been abused at some time in thier life, so if you are a guy and have never been abused you are lucky! Most experts say if you are in an abusive relationship you should leave. I say they are right, safety first then worry about if it will work out or not.

divorce after longterm marriage Posted: 1/24/2006 4:16:39 PM
If I used sex as the reason for a divorce that would have happened shortly after the honeymoon! lol. For her it was a tool to use... not something wonderful or even enjoyable. But, as for divorce after longterm marraige... well I dont see myself as having a choice, after all we do tell people that if they are in abusive relationships they should leave. So, I am leaving. But for relationships where it is a simple matter of one party or the other party changing over the years, well I thought that was the point of marrying and growing old together. Taking the good with the bad, watching each other change over the years and sharing your life with them. I dont understand the idea that we should expect the other party to never change, I dont think anyone in here is the same as they were when they were a teenager, and I am sure none of us will be exactly the same ten years from now. But I dont think we should penalize the other half for not changing either. I look around and I see alot of relationships that seem to end over small and simple matters. I mean, I know it always looks different from the outside, but at the same time some of the reasons we divorce do tend to strike me as a little shallow or kinda petty. I am not judging, just making note of an observation and we all know observations are just that, and not statements of fact or solid beliefs. Anyway thats my two cents, and minus inflation I guess that leaves me owing the OP a couple of cents...lol

MEAT EATER Vs VEGETARIAN Posted: 1/24/2006 3:32:33 PM
I guess it all depends on why the person is a vegetarian. Some are vegetarians becaues meat disgusts them or they are concientious objectors to the way animals are treated prior to being slaughtered. I have dated several vegetarians that have no problems with me being a meat eater simply because they choose not to eat meat. I have also ran into several where it was a deal breaker because me eating meat in front of her was unacceptable to her and I wasnt giving up my steak, lol. So I guess the best thing to do would be to go case by case and ask em why they are vegetarian and how they feel about you eating meat in front of them.

Do us 30something guys still have what it takes!? Posted: 1/24/2006 12:44:00 PM
Maverick sweety honey darling.. ok what happened to sexy?? lmao. Anyway, my heina, the forum is entitled "Do us 30 something guys still have what it takes!?" IE.. the OP was comparing us 30 somethings to YOUNGER guys to see if women thought we still had what it takes. It is kinda funny we took this turn into comparing us to older guys... I mean the forum was asking what do you think of a man in his 30s as compared to a man in his 20s basically... so for those woman that came running in here generalizing ALL 30 something men as immature compared to 40 something men.. well that sounds like a new thread to me, and it didnt answer the questions at all. Plus he never asked you if you thought 30 something men were more mature than 20 something men... he asked do we still have what it takes.. funny how you all went off topic so fast... lol. Either way.. if all you women think that men in thier 40's still have it, then I guess the question is answered because to have it in your 40s you must have had it in your 30s! So thanks for all the compliments! and by the way.. take the gender out and the maturity still works.. IE women in thier 40s are way more mature than women in thier 30s, who were more mature than women in thier 20s.. course thats on average there are always exceptions to the rule. Now replace 'women' with 'men' and it still works.. on average... and does nothing to address weither or not any of em still "has what it takes!" lol... could we define "has what it takes" now??

Thats true of both sexes... the older they get the better they get.. older woman are definitely more in touch with what they want.. not just sexually. Only problem is that if a woman in her 30s were to follow this.. and date a guy in his 40s.. she would not face the critizism... he would. Women in thier 40s would complain that all the guys in their 40s were going for younger woman... But hey, I still hold with maturity level over age... too many exceptions to hold to just one rule of thumb... Me I say go with what makes you happy, just no need to put someone down cause of thier age... or make assumptions based solely on it either.

talking nice about deadbeat parents Posted: 1/23/2006 6:17:07 PM
I wouldn't tell him this behavior is not typical of moms because not only is that becoming less and less true these days but it might give him the idea he is alone in the way his mom treats him and I dont think that would be good. He shouldnt be made to wonder "why is my mom like this and my friends moms arent like this? What did I do wrong?" Tell the truth and just dont bash her. If he has problems dealing with the emotions maybe counseling will help him. Hopefully as he gets older he will begin to sort it out on his own, if he hasn't already, and come to his own understanding and position on it.

Are we disposable with reference to finding love online? Posted: 1/23/2006 5:18:04 PM
I refuse to feel dirty just cause I dont get emails or responses.. I demand they do something to make me feel dirty.

Valintine's Day alone... Posted: 1/23/2006 4:16:23 PM
How sad we need a special day to show someone our appreciation, friendship, or love. I personally do it on a regular basis and do not need a 'reminder' day. And I would hope no ones sence of romance is wrapped up in thier wallet, and certainly hope not in some mass produced $2 card. At least spring the extra couple of bucks and make a custom one. It is easy to say make assumptions about why we put the holiday down, a little harder to take the time to find out thier true feelings I guess.
