I definitely prefer dealing with professional clients who just want to close a deal and move on to the next deal to butthurt emotional wrecks.
At the end of the day, unless the wife smokes crack in the courtroom, she's going to get custody of the kids, and if she made less money or didn't work at all, alimony. Often even documented, iron clad evidence of infidelity doesn't factor in. It's ridiculous how pro wife most judges are. And of course taking care of the children is always paramount in their eyes. Remember the case where the man was proven to not be the father of a kid, but got stuck paying child support anyway? IIRC, that was in Kansas.
My advice - suffer in silence until the kids are grown, and then try to split as amicably as possible. And hope she dies of natural causes in the interim. |
I have a good friend who was screwed in family court merely because of his gender. It is despicable. But you don't see third wave feminists arguing for equality there.
That case you cited is ridiculous. How can a man be responsible for child support in that situation?!
