Should divorced wives stop sponging?

Do you actually believe this? As in, you can read back what you posted and think "Yup, that's absolutely bang on - over 50% of women plan to simply meet rich men, have their children and take their money"?

Have you not read his posts before?

Who are probably bringing up your kids.

As mandated by the sexist secretive family courts. Who declare that men are bad. Women are good.

I know certain situations are very different, but the more I read this the luckier I feel that my ex and i get on really well, don't get me wrong at one time it was very very fractious but we soon worked out what was best for the kids and then things moved from there.

In terms of the original article what they are saying is that once the kid is at school (I think they say Y2 so 5/6) there is nothing stopping the mother starting to provide for herself, just like what would happen if she was claiming benefits, she would be told to start looking for a job when the youngest child is old enough. This doesn't mean all support from the ex-husband stops, but is reduced in line with her earning capacity.

Amazing it was ever different really.

Not in my case they didn't.

Only half?

If the divorcees have no kids then yes, the husband should not have to pay anything to the wife. When kids are involved then the appropriate child maintenance payments should be made.

The ruling is just.

Off topic - However I am not sure I believe in equality, in this sense (calm down). What might seem like a great idea to some women now, could eventually force them to live like men, and not in a good way, which neither sex will want.
