This is truely sad
Why don't these women get a fucking job? I know of situations personally that are almost as severe except that one took off to mexico (after paying through the nose) and the other is living with his parents at 45 years old while making 50,000 a year. The Canadian divorce court system is highly sexist against men and there is no doubt about it.
| quote: |
| He�s a modern day Thoreau, but rather than a serene life in the woods by Walden Pond, Al Low can hear the roar of highway traffic from his crudely constructed shack behind the Q.E.W. in Oakville. And there�s little time to contemplate man�s place in society or the delicate relationship with nature. Low spends his spare time in a state of constant stress exasperated by crippling alimony payments, and now, the threat of being ousted from his home of seven years. Forty-eight-year-old Low makes close to $40,000 a year, but with two ex wives and three children to support, he was forced to make a hasty pilgrimage to the woods behind the body shop he works for. �I wasn't homeless before but I am now thanks to the town and the province,� he said with more than a tinge of bitterness. Low has lived in the homemade shack for seven years. But a re-location looks to be imminent. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation owns the property, and they�ve given Low one month to vacate the area. �After 7 years, I guess they're worried about the liability,� he quipped. �I'm not bothering anybody,� he added defiantly. �You know, I figured that was how things worked. You did your part and people left you alone, but apparently not.� And while friends describe Low as a solitary man, he�s not alone in his fight to stay put. Both the Canadian Auto Workers and Family Justice Review Board have contacted him and promised to help. . |
yeh this was the top story for CityTv yesterday
kinda sad if u think about it
just let the guy live in peace
Any man who ends up being homeless and does nothing about it for 7 years deserves what's coming for him. But yaa, the "justice" system is a joke still.

Wow....I agree with you Jay 
Divorce and support proceedings have been wildly balanced to favour the women for decades. I've seen it first hand. My father got hosed when he divorced my step-mother....her kids were adults and out of the house while I was still in middle school....yet he had to give HER money. He stayed afloat but it wiped out all his savings and he had to remortgage our home. THat meant no money for college for me...I ended up having to work 30+ hours a week on top of my courses.
Yes, fathers have responsibility to their kids but the aplication of the laws has gone way too far in many cases.
I've been to a divorce court before. The sight of the guys coming out of there is scary, they look like they've been sentenced to hell. One guy was pale-faced, sweating, looked like he was about to die. They will try to take everything you have, and everything you will ever have. And given Canadian law they will get it, and more.
Be careful who you marry!

This guy doesn't deserve any. If he makes $40,000 and pays $12,000 in child support, that leaves him with $28,000. He could easily rent a basement for $500/mo, which would only cost him $6,000/yr and still leave him with $22,000. Of that, he could easily save $10,000 and in those 7 years, he coulda had $70,000 saved up for a downpayment on a small franchise or something. But instead he's getting evicted from a shack by the highway 
NO respect!

Just make sure you take your time choosing the woman you're gonna marry... otherwise, you're just gonna create yourself some problems later on. It's really simple as that. Or, just to keep things even simpler, don't marry in North America 
If she tries to screw you, screw her back. Here's the plan:
Tell her you'll give her nothing. She'll go nuts and take you to court with expensive lawyers to get everything you have, which she will get. She'll tell the judge she wants all your money, any future money, and while she's at it, throw in your cock and balls as well. The judge will happily give it to her.
The fun part is when you quit your job and get another job under the table. She nor the government will see one penny of your money, and she will also be broke after spending all that money on court fees.
So she goes from expecting to be living the high life on your hard-earned cash, to having nothing, HA!
(it's a joke, I would only do that if she was a REAL *itch)
That is why I had a vasectomy when I was 12.

| Originally posted by Skipper a pre-nup doesn't prevent you from paying child support. There are too many deadbeat dads out there. For every dad who you think gets punished by divorce court, there are 5 that get away paying nothing for their children. My mum works in family court and it's stunning the stories she comes home with. |
These laws are so old, they don't even apply today. It was alot easier for a guy to make enough money to support a family back in the 60's, you're lucky if you can do it today.
That's one of the reasons why many women are working today, the guys just don't make enough.
Funny thing is, where are the feminists demanding equality on this issue LOL

| Originally posted by tw1tch Just a small correction, making $40000 does not mean you get to KEEP all $40000, there is a small thing called TAX too. Also, where is this $1200/month payment coming from, the article mention's nothing of his payment amount? His payments I'm sure are more then $1200/month for 3 children. |

You gotta respect that he didnt abandon the needs of his 3 kids. Hes a mechanic, he could easily work at a shop under the table and not worry about alimony. You sound like a person whos had a pretty easy life and has allot of ambitions in business. Im just curious, how much real life experience do you have in starting a business, paying bills, meeting deadlines and acheiving success'. You dont laugh at people who get "evicted from a shack by the highway". |
a father has a big role to play im a kids life and courts have to realise that and just fuck the poor dude over
It's called pre-nup.
Child support is an expense one should expect to deal with given that a couple is duly responsible for the raising of children. And theoretically should be more than happy to yield a great life for them anyway.
As for the question of alimony, I think this case is really sad. If one is obligated to pay, it should definitely not render one broke or living in a shack, or worse- homeless. In some cases the wife was an integral part in the success of the man's economical prosperity( a family business, or company, yada yada) and severe unfairness on the part of the husband has ensued; in that case I believe the wife should be compensated for her years of effort, work, and commitment. there are times when a business or corporation is registered only in the husband's name.
The other case is when a wife has suffered much abuse, and has been forced to be a housewife. It does happen, not to me but I've known people close to me that have suffered greatly in marriages that lasted way too long.
In this case, I agree that it seems very sad on a surface level. But bare in mind not to generalize as a whole because there are always two sides to every story, and we may dig a little deeper to find that he may be partially responsible for his misfortune, and not letting us know of that.
Or he may be wrongly targetted.
for one man to get screwed over is nothing for the amount of woman who have.
Dont forget he still has kids to look after...
Plus did he make an effort to get any of his payments change?
