Where are all the pro- "child support" (backdoor alimony) folks?

Women have traditionally been the organizers in families. They see to it that the vacations, Dr. appts, home repairs, etc. are booked, the family events are attended, etc. Boys grow into men that have seen their mothes be the organizers and then marry women who continue the pattern. The best way to stop this is for parents to stop raising boys to expect this of women and stop raising girls to accept this as their solo role as women. Do it by example and in word. I'm doing my share. Mrs Indyguy I have some theories too, and they're very different from Mrs. Indyguy's. I think that very few men are willing to come out and openly stand up for the interests of men, in situations where those interests are entirely the opposite of women -- as is the case in most domestic relations matters. Bear in mind too that men who fight the system are subject to the very real threat of jail time as well as losing their worldly possessions just because they are standing up to the system. Women, on the other hand, at the very worst would simply be told to just "shut the f___ up". Not much to lose there. Why do you say that? Why would they go to jail or lose their worldly possessions because they protested against the system? Now, if their protest was in the form of refusing to pay child support, then I can see where that might be true. But organizing and picketing, etc--why would that merit jail time? And if women were out there picketing with them, why do you think the women would get different treatment? Do you have any examples of this happening? I was held in contempt of court and sanctioned for trying to stand up to the system on three occasions. One time I was in contempt for attempting the "re-litigate" an issue. Another time I was in contempt for "dragging my ex-spouse back into court." And finally, I was held in contempt for "failing to inform the court my ex-spouse was having trouble transferring an asset to her name." In everyone of these examples the judge ignored her own order in the decree and held me accountable with sanctions for trying to get the decree implemented as written and signed. Did you have to spend any time in jail time for contempt or did you just have to pay a fine? |
