its not what I expected, but I have waaaaay more money since my wife left and now just gets a fixed payment. I guess that's one way to make her stick to a budget.
Many thanks to the guy she left me for.....it's been a few years now and life keeps getting better.
 
The law of unintended consequences strikes again. I'm sure you've given readers something to think about.
 
My favorite quote from a few of my friends when they got a divorce...."now at least I have access to at half my money"...

I suspect you don't have children with your ex-wife. Either that or her lawyer in the divorce proceed wasn't very good. Your case is certainly a rare exception.

Cheers
 
Do you need to pay an ex-wife some monthly allowance after marriage, even without having kids??

I thought women rights also were supposed to mean responsibilities
 
It would only be right to spend the money you are saving on hookers :thumb:
 
She left YOU for another guy and you are paying spousal support???
What kind of shi.tty lawyer did you hire?

One that knows that in Ontario it makes no difference if she fucked his dad or the football team...spousal support is based on other things. Not any fault of infidelity.
 
My ex wife was extremely uninspired and lazy. My reward for working tons of overtime to pay the bills was to give her tons of support money because my income was too high. She was fully able - not willing - lazy as fuck - and she gets rewarded. That support money would be better spent on SP's - they deserve it!

Don't tell anyone or they'll make you pay more!

This is why, unlike many of my Dad's generation, I'm perfectly happy having a wife who is the bread winner.
 
I have 2 kids, so yes I pay child support. All in all, I have way more money. I cut my own deal, and she didn't get great legal advice - I kept my house, my car, my business and now I just throw a couple grand a month her way....

The beauty of no-fault divorce laws.

That's what alimony is

It can have some obvious reasons if you think about it past the male indignity
 
I have no issues with paying the support. I was a sole provider for over 20 years, so my income potential is obviously better than a middle aged woman with no work history. I'm just pleasantly surprised how little support payments cost in comparison to having a full time spouse lounging about the house.
