Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Exactly, Ginger.
I have a friend whose husband, who was a very well paid physics rockstar, went to court to reduce the amount he paid, claiming he couldn't afford it. He didn't think he could possibly reduce the $2,000+ a month he spent on expensive restaurants. The judge did laugh.

The fuck?
I used to climb with someone (a kindergarten teacher) whose ex-husband had voluntarily bankrupted himself rather than pay child support. I do not understand this mentality.
Yeah. That's a mindset I just don't get.
In my harsher moods, I feel that it should be grounds for terminating their parental rights. Don't want to pay your support? Fine. Just don't expect to be recognized as their parent.
The problem with that is there are probably plenty of deadbeat dads who'd be just fine with that and don't care about knowing the kids at all.
Honestly, the act that he had money hidden away shocked me. I assumed he wasn't paying because he couldn't. Which I at least understand a little but not the hiding the money or spending it all to avoid the kids he fought so hard to see.
ION, I am listening to Les Mis. So much of that musical makes me teary.

There are a shockingly large percentage of them who feel that their sperm give them the right to demand access/influence/etc all without paying a red cent.
Checked three things off my list and had lunch. Off to do two more. I think the last errand will wait for another day.

I know a number of women that let them get a way with it too. They don't want to be the bad guy and deny the kids their daddy time. Makes me crazy.
