oK SO I ‘ve watched 2and a half men……This guy Alans situation is pretty critical…..The poor guy works his ass off and pays every penny as alimony to his wife who jolly-well just sits there spends it…..So If i was in his shoes I wouldn’t have minded paying for my kid…….as for my wife….If she divorced me why the heck should i provide for her? She better get a job and make a living….Having observed this phenomenon I seriously want to sign a prenup or whatever to avoid the situation in question here…….I’m curious whether my prospective wife(whom I don’t know yet) would find this offensive……and when I found the right girl, would it be worth the risk proposing a prenup and risking the relationship if women find it offensive? This is a minor passing train of thought…..if you would be so kind enough to express your opinions?
see people…….I’ve met women who marry some poor guy and divorce him just just to get a free cheque every month……..so its not just the tv show……I do not wish to be at the mercy of a woman whom I may have to pay money for when I dont really want to because I don;t want to provide for a woman who’s not my wife or partner……..and Misty, the notion that you seem to be an angel living happily ever after doesnt actually make me feel like putting my guard down………….I’ve gotten screwed one too many times in my life to be optimistic

Ok so me and my girlfriend have been together for over 2yrs and we plan on getting married. There is only one problem she is still married. She got married when she was 18yrs old to a guy old enough to be her dad. He would beat her and try to control her. He even kicked her in the stomach causing their baby to die. She finally decided to just leave him and she moved back with her mom. Now years later we want to get married. Her mom paid for these divorce papers but she needs help filing. We called the Justice Center and the people made me so mad, getting nasty and stuff. We both live in Cleveland, OH. She doesn’t want anything from the guy but to be separated. She hasn’t even seen her husband in person. We seen him on Divorce Court the TV show with another women(funny right). Should we just hire a lawyer?

Hi! i watched an American serie today. In this episode, you learnt that the main character had a kid with a woman who he wasn’t with anymore. They had never been married. And she said that she didn’t have to bring him the kid if she didn’t want to because they hadn’t been married (the series inst’ about their relationship at all, by the way).

So, basically, my question is: in America, if you’ve never been married and you’re not with him anymore, are you allowed to deny a father the right to see his kid(s)?

In case you’re wondering, I have no idea what the law says on that in my country.

Thanks.
So if he had said when they were born (on paper) that he was the father, he has the right to see the kid(s), right?

That would definitely be more fair than what they said in the tv show!

My bf pays support for 3 children at 0 a month, plus half daycare for the youngest who is still in daycare, he pays 55 % of all medical costs. He provides insurance on the children. His oldest son moved in with us for lack of his mother doing anything for him. he came to us with holes in his socks! They make the same hourly pay rate, he basically gives her 50 a month after everything is said and done. The 2 younger children are still with her for now and he still has to pay the same amount of support for 2 that he was paying for 3, is this fair?
To cover all the details, she had an affair on him they got divorced and now she cant stand me being in the picture so she uses the children to get back at him. She does not comply with the court order for visitations, his middle son also wants to live with us because he is being shoved to the side for his sister. She treats the 2 younger children totally different, like the princess and the pauper. the girl gets it all and he gets nothing, not even attention. if he is in the middle of a tv show and sister wants the tv, she gets it and he has to stop his show. I dont know if it is normal for parents to show that much favoritism between there children, but I dont do that between my own children and his. His middle son is begging to come live with us, we have to fight with him to take him home after his visits with dad. Dad has begged her for more time with the children and he would still pay her the same support, but she refuses to give him the children any extra time. She has a schedule she lives by, get up 4 :45 am go for a walk, leaving the 10 yr old to watch the 5 yr old for an hour. gets ready for work, kids go to school/daycare, gets off work at 3pm, does not pick children up until 5pm after her second hour long walk of the day and 45 minutes of working on a boflex, she also had a bit of an eating disorder. she only eats salad so the kids get pb & j or soup for dinner, they are ready fr bed by 7:30, so why cant he get his kids more? she doesnt do anything with them.
She always tells the kids that their dad does nothing for them and doesnt help her at all(refer back to the support details) they both make over an hour however thru the divorce he got the house and had to buy a new car, we heat with Oil and god knows the pricing on that these days, her new house is thru work and it is 0 a month ALL UTILITIES PAID, her car is paid for, etc. Yet she could not aford to put decent sock on her sons feet, she interacts with the children about 3 hours a day and wont let him have more time with them. He is thinking of going for partial custody so he can have his children more. Has anyone been in this situation before and what rights does he have to go for this and any advice will be appreciated. He really misses his children and he does help her alot with the kids financially. I dont understand why she puts him down so much and me for that mater when shes the one who had the affair, now its like she uses the children to hurt him because he really loves his kids! I dont understand this at all, even though I am divorced I do not use my children against the other parent, Im just happy that they are involved, isnt that the important thing. I think having a father is just as essential to a child as having a mother. In this case, unless she focuses more of her time on her children instead of leaving them in daycare until closing, why cant he get them instead of them sitting in a daycare, it isnt fair. Its not just hurting him either its really hurting their children as well. ADVICE PLEASE!!!
