Who is kidding who here. With the laws and judges that run the civil courts these days, being a man in a divorce case is a death sentence.
Why do you think I'm still married...
Face it guys, it's cheaper to keep her. And better for your kids.
Really.
Just eat good rich food, drink good beer and enjoy a good cigar. You'll be gone a little quicker, but you'll enjoy life more. And chances are, if you are enjoying life, you spouse will give up trying to nag you to death and jump on the bandwagon. Then life will really be better.
I did this, and its working.

Well, I've avoided buying a house for a few years now. We don't have any savings to speak of. Not much to split. We only have one kid.

Now my wife wants out and if nothing else, there isn't much to fight about.

I'm also unemployed with no UI (self employed), so she won't be getting all that much.

In some ways, the ball is in my court. Why? Because she'll need to remarry quickly due to lack of financial resources. She cannot live here in NY on $20k. Put in another 10k for child support and it is extremely hard to live her (Westchester County).

Yea, I'll end up at the "Y" for a few years. So what. As long as my son is cared for and provided for I'll be happy.

I give her two years tops before she is remarried. Then I'll bust my ass and get a really great paying job. Sure, that'll increase the child support, but that's a lost cause.

I did that but she still nags me to death. This technique only works with women who aren't strong headed like my wife.

I really, really, fell sorry for the next man she marries.

Also, as I stated in my previous post, I'm unemployed. I earned all of $48k last year, and 8k of that was from cashing in a 401k. She might walk with 7 - 25k alimony/support, but hey, that ain't squat to live in NY with.

By having such a low support level, she has a big incentive to seek remarriage and rather quickly. ;-) Thank GOD for the DOT COM BOMB!!!

Reminds me of the old joke----Why do men die before their wives most of the time?

Because they want to.

I like your philosophy!
