[@adamb89]

One of the best stories I ever heard was a guy who was the main breadwinner and discovered his stay-at-home wife was cheating on him. It was a no fault divorce state so even though she was the one cheating, if they split she'd get half of everything, plus probably custody of the kids as she was the primary caregiver. So over the course of several years he hid his knowledge, and encouraged her to go back to school to get a degree in nursing. A high-paying job. Once she got her high-paying job, he magnanimously volunteered to become a stay-at-home dad in order to support her career. After several years he'd managed to flip the script to where now SHE was the high earner, while HE was the primary caregiver. See where this is going? Yup! He got the kids, the house, and the alimony. This caused her to end up working a lot more, which made her seem "boring" to her side piece and he ended up dumping her for a younger model too.

Everyone one is (rightly) mad about what the Ex did in story 17 but frankly I want to ask the judge what the actual fuck he was thinking when he awarded those items to the wrong person.

The state (depending on the state) gets a cut out of child support payments (percentage dependent on what state you are in) and the courts decision for the most part is not in the best interest of the child or couple but actually in the best interest of the state due to that percentage cut, this is unfortunately a huge incentive for the court to screw over the husband or wife depending on who has the most income and assets. In the case of cheating, the court won't go after the biological father if he is a broke deadbeat and instead go after the soon to be ex-husband that is already being processed by the court. "In the best interest of the child" nah, more like the best interest of the court, state, and involved law firms. Now this don't happen all the time and is entirely dependent on the state, courts, and various firms handling the case, but it is unfortunately a common enough occurrence.

(UK Here) The parents of a friend of mine got a divorce after the wife cheated on the husband. Wife has not worked a day in her life. Husband is self-employed but makes decent money. Wife wants everything (the house, the pets, the furniture, everything), including custody, and has no intention to negotiate. Wife then admits IN COURT NO LESS that the only reason she wants custody is so she can claim benefits and has no intention of finding work. Daughter wants to nothing to do with her mother as she was the one that cheated and was generally a poor parent. Husband gets full custody and a few other items (the wife got the House), and asks for the pets (two perfectly healthy cats), and offered to straight up BUY them when she refused. Wife proceeded to have both cats put down. Husband and Daughter now have nothing to do with her, to the point that Daughter refers to her mother as 'that woman'.

There is no legal or financial reason why she should get everything, including heirlooms belonging to HIS side of the family.

My brother went through a terrible divorce that has completely ruined his life and mental health. Both he and his now ex-wife got their education in the same exact field. He has a Master's degree while she has a Doctorate. Since he's a hard worker and she's a spoiled entitled princess, he landed a great job that he loves and she barely worked in her field. Divorce happens, he has to pay alimony, child support, and even HER lawyer fees which incidentally made him too poor to afford his own lawyer. She then decides to move halfway across the country with my nephew for seemingly no other reason than spite. She had zero job prospects. So, as a result of that, in order for my brother to see his son, he had to pay to fly there, pay to fly both of them back to his house, pay to fly both of them back to her, and then pay to fly back home since he was still too young to fly alone. Fast forward, my brother decides to upend his entire life, leave a job he loves, to follow them so he could be closer to his son. Only job he could find was a Jewish bakery making barely above minimum wage. Now he's too poor to pay her lawyers so they are threatening to have him thrown in jail.

He provoked me many times refusing my right to visit my kid, put his colleagues to question me , she made a phony complaint for harassment... it was hell for me because I was innocent. But one day by chance I saw my ex-wife car on the road and inside: her and the previous lover. I texted a message to the cop : "I know you are on duty because she is having a lot of fun with the non existing lover I told you about".

They get paid a lot of money to do that. -Pay child support to another man's kid? a) they think it is their kid when 75% of married women cheat. b) they raised that kid as their own so the judge feels that it is his because he accepted it. -Why is the wife taking all the man's property. Depends on the state. In the Peoples Republic of California, they believe that a wife should be supported in the level she was at the divorce. This is impossible but the law says that is ok even if the man lives in a box in an alley. In Arizona, the wife has her own property that he cannot touch. He has his own property that she cannot touch so the courts must divide ONLY the property they owned together. I would NEVER get divorced in California, I would lie and move to Arizona or Texas where the courts are 'more fair'.

Oh man, I got a juicy one. This story came from a friend of mine about her ex husband. Spoiler: this story has domestic violence and child engagement in it. Also, this happened back in the late 50’s so not everything is word for word. My friend tells this story often and in more detail so I’ll try to be short and to the point. So my friend got divorced from her first husband of 30 something years, they married young (she was 15, he was 19) and had been bffs since they were kids. They split mutually and remained good friends, they talked every day they just didn’t want to be married to each other anymore. Friend is a marine and while out with a few other marines this creepy dude catches her attention. He’s just staring at her and licking his lips. She puts the other marines between her and him and tries to stay as far as possible. For the next few months he follows her and after a night of drinking and having fun with some friends, friend wakes up in a strange house she doesn’t know with a ring on her finger and the creep sleeping next to her. He got her blackout drunk and forced her to sign marriage papers. For the next two years she tries to get a divorce and get away from him. He beats her almost to death on a few occasions and threatens to do the same to “the kids” if she doesn’t do what he wants. He had four kids of his own that were in the house with them(oldest is 11 the youngest was 2 months when they married). She takes the abuse so he doesn’t hurt the kids. Then the lightbulb moment. She decides to take some revenge for all the nightmares he’s put her through. She takes the kids to her ex husband’s house as him watch them while she goes to the courthouse and gets divorce and custody papers. When she gets home the creep is already passed out on the couch. She proceeds to get him blackout drunk and sign the papers, saying their papers for the kids’ school. Once it’s done she goes back to the courthouse and files them. She took him for everything, the house, car and motorcycle, tools furniture everything. She leaves the signed papers on the coffee table, packs her backs and leaves for the military base. When she comes back in the morning he’s gone. She doesn’t see him until a few days later when she and a few other marines are cleaning out the house to sell it. She tells him to stay away from her and the kids as he no longer has custody and a restraining order has been filed. He leaves and she never sees him again more does he try to contact her. 😂word of advice, don’t threaten a marine.

If courts only assign child support in the "best interest of the child", they would be assessing the government as the father, because the government would never miss a child support payment.

[@Spartan536]

As for story #9, if the paternity test comes back that you are not the father, and you were lied to about being the father and the court says "no its in the best interest of the kid that you pay for a kid that's not yours"... escalate that from the county to the circuit court and up to the state supreme court if necessary.

The more I hear about the horror stories of marriages falling apart for various reasons makes me wary of getting married myself. I have had many married men tell me to not get married and to stay single as long as I can and they wished that they never got married themselves. The one thing that I have heard, that makes some kind of sense, is that before you propose to a girl, go on a trip with just her to wherever and see what she is really like before popping the question. I was told this by at least 2 guys and they said that this was an eye opener for them and they were glad that they did it cause it saved them from asking the question cause they saw who those girls were really like.

They can also say that the woman signed the prenup "under emotional duress" even with 2 party's lawyers present so it's not legally binding.

Been happily married for 11 years. Was in a couple of crappy relationships before him. Marry someone who faces problems in the relationship as the two of you vs. the problem, not as you vs. them. Marry someone who can accept being told "no". This is worst red flag there is that will never get better so just dump them when it happens: early on, if you confront them about an issue you have in your relationship with them, and they respond by deflecting accountability, blaming you, and reframing themselves as a victim of your "attacking" them, when all you wanted to do was gain their cooperation to resolve something. That's the kiss of death in a relationship. Believe me when I say there is no fixing this character flaw.

Relating to someone I know who essentially grew up next to me, she eloped with this guy in the Marine Corps., probably weren't even married two years, claims he cheated on her (though later I suspect that SHE cheated on him), took his GI benefits, probably half, if not three-quarters of his money, and decided to go back to college and buy a house at the same city where she was going to college. She claims her divorce was "really, really, bad" and that she didn't want to date for a very long time. Next thing you know, around the time she's going to college (for another degree in something, IDK), she already has a new boyfriend, probably not even four years after her "really, really bad" divorce. Since then, the guy she was married to has deleted his Facebook page probably because no one would believe him, and who knows, he probably committed suicide, or is living a life of ruin and shambles. She's a definite cheat, a liar, and a swindler. It just goes to show that even those who were raised and grew up next to you (and to add she was raised by a religious family), are even capable of pulling such heinous shit. UPDATE: The man is still alive, and working as an engineer for some information technology center. I wouldn't doubt he has some PTSD from that divorce.

One of the guys in the crew drove in in a nice plush car. We immediately asked him why he hadn't driven his truck in. He said he and his wife had a divorce hearing and they made a list of possessions. The judge looked at the list and told his soon to be ex, you're entitled to half the possessions and gave her the right to choose which items. She chose his truck, his hunting gear and all his fishing gear. My first wife fought me for a year over my building us a new home. She kept telling me I was stupid for wasting our money. That I wouldn't be able to build the home myself. Well I got it done and it turned out to be a beautiful brick home. The economy took a downturn and all my wifes relatives were losing their homes but she was telling everyone how smart we were to have built our home when we did and that it was paid for. Down the road I had a serious health issue and couldn't work for a bit. My wife told me she wasn't happy and wanted a divorce so she could go out and live her life. I gave it to her. Our kids remained with me. Next thing I know I get the divorce decree and the judge gave her a lien on the house for twice what the house cost me to build.
