OT alimony/child support questions
Doing a friend a favour by posting this to the group for her...she wants to remain
anonymous for now. "I'm asking Jalynne to post this for me because I want to keep my business private for now as I deal with some very stressful things. My husband and I have decided to divorce after many years of marriage. I have children and have been a stay at home mom for MANY years. I want to get a feel of what others have done as far as alimony/child support. This is definitely a case of shared custody (me during the week and him on weekends). If you want to email privately, please email Jalynne and she'll forward to me and I'll write back to you. Thanks for your help." My email addy is craftigirl at earthlink dot net Thanks so much for helping out a friend in need. She'll be looking forward to your responses. -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne |

The laws are written from the point of view of having the non-custodial parent make the most money, and the custodial parent (usually the mom) has a history for low paying jobs sacrificed for child care. The courts want this to remain the status quo, so they usually whack the high paying non custodial parent for a large percentage of their income. actually dear -- it was just the opposite in my case--- I make more - AND I got the kids.. .of course I got the insurance, and very damn little support out of the ex too.... of course- he lost his juicy meal ticket. Don't you all bet today he could just kick his derrier??? I know his father overheard me telling a friend about going to law school - about a year ago - in a grocery store . Didn't see him - but when I did - his eyes were like big marbles.... wanna bet he told his son " you blew it."? ROTFL However- you are correct that the "system" tends to look to protecting women who have not been the breadwinners, or lack job skills. Many states only award what they call "rehabilitative alimony" - which means you only get it until you can support yourself.... However, Child support is until they turn 18. Also note that child support can be MODIFIED along the way -- as the woman earns more - she gets less support for the kids....

.. Every cleaning person I've brought in is
unacceptable to him for one reason or another. Sooner or later, I'll wear him down and tell him that this housekeeper is it, and he's going to have to deal. ROTFL - this is so great.... solution tell him HE HAS TO HIRE THE HOUSEKEEPER Cheryl of A HREF="http://www.dragonbeads.com" DRAGON BEADS /A Flameworked beads and glass http://www.dragonbeads.com/ |

Celine - I fear that is how a lot of homes are run. In my first marriage I
did almost everything at home. I was a house mom and loved it. Now that I'm remarried, I'm less likely to do anything other than cook. Even then I don't usually want to cook. My hubby complains I took care of first hubby better than him. I just look at it as taking care of my daughters and not their father. "Lee S. Billings" wrote in message ink.net... In article news.com, says... Almost six years later, we're still doing all right. We look at our time apart as a painful period that was necessary for our to grow into a more adult relationship. We have the girls now, and everything is just fine. Our only ongoing gripe is that DH wants the house to be neat (but not clean it) and I am unable to clean. Every cleaning person I've brought in is unacceptable to him for one reason or another. Sooner or later, I'll wear him down and tell him that this housekeeper is it, and he's going to have to deal. A cheering story! Just one question, though -- if he's the one who wants the house all neat and tidy, why can't *he* do the work? At least the picking-up and putting-away part; then you'd only have to have housecleaners to do the actual scutwork. (Sticker #435: "If a man's home is HIS castle, then HE can learn to clean it!")
