I'm so sorry, Knot.

Too bad your divorce wasn't in Idaho. They are like the friggin' mafia.

My biggest problem is I live in Michigan and he's in California.

If I was collecting aid from the state of California, they'd be all over him like flies on shit. But because *I* took responsibility and work, sometimes 2 jobs, to support my kids, the state of CA couldn't care less.

Our older son has actually thanked us more than once for getting divorced.

Sometimes anger is passion in disguise.

There NEEDS to be some reform on child support laws. I'm all for nailing jerks who deliberatley don't pay it. But there has to be some regard for the non-custodial parent (which is usually a father) just being able to freakin' live and keep a roof over his own head... and have a decent place when his kids come to visit.

When I lost the good job I'd had at the time of my divorce, and my income become less than a third of what it had been, the burden was all on me to wade through a mile-high stack of paperwork and hearings to get my support payments adjusted. Meanwhile, of course, I got behind, and the state was threatening to pull my driver's license and all sorts of other nasty crap. Yeah.. like, think about that one. No driver's license means it would make it very difficult for me to find/keep a job.. you freakin' retards.

The "best" one I'm aware of happened to a friend of mine, who was working on becoming a master electricitan. Anyway, when he got behind, the state tried to pull his electrictian's license.

HELLO.. anybody home upstairs? The dude owes you money, so it's NOT the smartest thing to take away his BEST POSSIBLE SOURCE OF INCOME!!!!???

Anway.. sorry for the rant. But again, there simply has to be reform on this crap. The burden should be on the state to look at your income, weigh it against a reasonable cost of living in your area -- not luxury, just basic living expenses -- and take not more than one penny of what you can afford.

It should be a flat percentage. If your job changes and you make less, it should go down accordingly. If you get a new job/promotion, and are making more... it should go up accordingly.

Just my opinons on the matter.
Don't feel like you should apologize for this, Mouse. Child support laws really do merit some change. Destroying the non-custodial parent financially(legally) is where some parents have problems in making those support payments. I was divorced in Wisconsin.The ideal situation that you described is in fact the law there. 17% of gross pay for the support of one child; I think it may be 25% for 2 children, but I'm not exactly sure; as I only have one son. It is however, on a sliding scale basis that does make allowances for such things as promotions and unemployment yearlybut the change must be filed with the court for verification of such. They also have a provision which can assess the amount of support based upon the ability proven to earn more.

You are right thought, sometimes anger is an inability to express true feelings or just frustration.

Making up can be the best part of a relationship.

Why do you think so many people marry the wrong person?

Do they marry the wrong person or they just don't try hard enough to make it work?

What some folks don't realize is that PASSION is ANY powerful emotion. Hate can be passion as well as love or rage.

Passion is a STATE of emotion, not an emotion in itself.

Perhaps people marry the right person, but over time they become the wrong person.

Not that I have been married, but I have observed that it seems easier to get a divorce rather than work it out. How many ads by lawyers for 250 USD has everyone seen? Be sure to read the fine print.....

Probably because there is no tried and true definition (of which I am aware) of what constitutes "the wrong person" that would allow everybody to avoid that mistake in the first place. Do you think, after reading Knot's last post; that she believed this could be remotely possible of the man she married at the time? My guess would be an emphatic H--- NO!
