You do realize by now that you're ranting to the choir, right? I think pretty much every woman here has gone on record as being anti-alimony
Also, I personally think that "every other weekend" to a parent that *wants* to be involved is abusive. Abusive to the parent, and to the kid.
Really? Because JC and Espy seemed to think differently based on the idea that being the primary caregiver would cost them more.
I do believe you are correct Chi. I think it's time for me to 'tap out' before I get any more irritated.
Well too bad I didn't 'tap out' first. You know I like you Andrae, and I actually generally agree with your POV, but you're just being plain dense if you honestly think I would ever approve of alimony. I have NEVER said anything other than that I am 100% opposed to it. I said that the primary caregiver clearly bears more of the costs, however where the hell did I say I would expect help with that? I did not. I was simply acknowledging the fact that Jordan had brought up, but at no point did I state I felt entitled to anything based upon that. So let me be real plain for you. I raise my children, with no financial assistance from anyone, and I'm fine with that. Yes I will bear 100% of the responsibility for raising them, but at no point would I expect anything from anyone else to offset that.
OK it's mature women who have been through divorce vs. young kid who hasn't even been married once I know who I'm going with here.
lol...well that's what i was thinking as well. go get a couple of marriages under your belt then start complaining about the legal system
