It is quite interesting how pretty much all male LBS pay alimony and child support to their MLC, but male MLCers often don't pay a cent to their LBS and children. ...
Thank you Anjae for recognizing that. I absolutely agree with this. Although in my case, I have fared WAY better than most male LBSes.
I pay a very large amount of Child Support for one daughter. But there is no alimony. I also bought her out of the marital home. Make no mistake, she received a large short term settlement immediately after our divorce, but I am so blessed and I know it. I will come out faaaarrrrrr better in the long term.
Not that I am trying to rush my life away, and I also do not mean to offend any LBSes that are in this boat, but as an unskilled laborer, my ex is not going to fair very well when my youngest d turns 18, and the gravy train stops.
I harbor no ill will, but these are the life choices she has made, and therefore has to live with them.
