Divorce - not as final as you think

Did they use it?

Er, no. I don't think they saw the funny side.

Er, no. I don't think they saw the funny side.

Glad you can, some on here seem to still have issues.

This is lazy, cop-out law, based entirely on looking for the easy option (the bloke is loaded) rather than the principle (people are entitled to live separate lives). It is also law made up ‘on the fly’ by judges who are now so confused about the sheer number of different decisions made in so many divorce cases that they look to do the expedient thing. Fathers end up losing out all the time because of this. No judge yet has the b0ll0cks to establish some equity for fathers. With regard to family law, it’s time this country moved away from case law/precedent to statute-based law, bring in some clarity and fairness. Also we should adopt the American system, wherein once the case has been heard, it can’t be revisited.

Now you are just being silly. Did New Labour just step down or something?

A sense of injustice will always produce "issues" until there is a proper and fair closure. Some men have been shafted big time to find their ex's living a very comfortable lifestyle, thank you very much.

Edit: I have funeral insurance and it's up for review. I'm now thinking of being buried 24 feet down so my few prized possessions can go with me. Also, if my ex-missus thinks she can get her hands on my few prized possessions, the b1tch can for dig for it!

The silly c^nt left a spousal maintenance (SM) clause in the settlement.

If you you ever get divorced never never ever ever agree to SM or this is what happens. In effect you are agreeing to support her forever, the judge was only applying the agreement he made and actually it was a low payout wrt to his wealth.

BE WARNED Clean Break even if (as it usually does) you come out with less than 50%. Unless your other half is wealthier than you then fight for SM

HTH

Getting rid of SM is virtually impossible. But never ever agree to pay nominal amount(say 1p per year). If you get clean break, then great.
