I was divorced by my wife of 20 years in 1997. I didn’t see it coming. Fortunately my youngest was 10 and I got custody of her at 15. Still, my “maintenance” and child support reached $3700 a month at one point. But it ended about 5 years ago. If I was a young man today., and I thought we were at risk of getting a divorce, my first act BEFORE it starts is to try to move to Texas. Second act is to hide money. Once she goes for it, the third is to leave the country. I’m not kidding. If I had it to do all over again I would be in mexico still. Or Honduras, actually.
Yes, the system is that blatantly unfair. It is literally slavery and I will do everything within my power to avoid it.
Why go to Texas?
