Yikes! My ex had issues with pain pills post-surgery and it escalated from there. Rehab & marriage counseling didn’t stick; he was just phoning it in.

Mine found a new ‘mark’ as soon as the ink was dry on our divorce papers, proving that some women consider ‘Prince Charming’ to be a broke bum with no prospects, addicted to Oxy and losing his teeth due to the abuse of opiates.

In his (minor) defense - he didn’t start out that way - but he also wasn’t interested in getting better, either.

Took me 5 years to rebuild, financially. But, things are OK now. Prayers up for your Dear Sister. :)

A few - the main one that worked against her this time, though, was her resistance to authority. She just wouldn’t work with the courts or even her own attorneys. She went through three of them during the year of the divorce proceedings.

Once the ex-spouse remarries or co-habitates, alimony should end and should be spelled out in the divorce decree. Shame on your friend’s lawyer for not taking care of that.

I just finished in May my alimony sentence to my ex wife.

After 8 years of $1,200 per month she had the audacity to tell me when it was over that I should consider giving her at least $500 for the rest of her life since I “could afford it”

All along I kept telling her to plan for the future or marry a bald headed plumber.... but no...

Sheesh......

You do know that he was a USO regular? He visited the troops overseas dozens of times.

“What if they have minor children?”

Then the man should provide 50 percent of the cost of upkeep for the children till they reach legal age.

Yes, and the Fuehrer was kind to dogs and Il Duce made the trains run on time.

Its proving the co-habitation thats the problem. Her boyfriend ‘sleeps over’ a lot.

Those are irrelevant details. They are comparable to his comedy routines mocking politicians (something virtually all comedians do) when compared to his support of our servicemen overseas.

How bullet-proof are these things? Seems like any sharp lawyer should be able to tear through one.

A sharp lawyer can make one bullet proof.

You can rent a lot of hookers for $30 million. And they will even tell you they love you.

Then they go away and leave you and your bank account alone.


I believe Charlie Sheen has mentioned this as his reason for employing prostitutes. If marriage has devolved into something requiring the precautions mating scorpions have to undertake, he probably has a point.
