My brother's wife filed for divorce in 2001 and I just can't seem to
think the courts or his lawyer has any interest in his well being.
Alberta had a drastic oilfield boom last year and he made 116,000. and
the two previous years he made 84,000. and 79,000. The case is not
finished but in the last months since sept 11 oil and gas has employment
has slowed down dramatically. Working all his days off the maximum
amount in the last 6 months he made $3400. and the court has ordered
temporarily for him to pay 3200. per month plus half the child care
expenses. So he has been in the hole for the last 6 months. He moved
backed home and it quite embarrassed to be with his parents. The court
also said for his visitation he is to provide food and shelter. I asked
how is this. He has lost 31 pounds from not eating...can't afford to eat
that is why last month I encouraged him to move to our parent's home.
She is living in the house and secretly cleaned out the bank accounts
and in court she said she needed the money to feed the children...but
spent 2 weeks in Hawaii for Christmas. I had to secretly buy presents
for the children at Christmas for him and for having been a successful
caring man he is suffering depression (I think). His lawyer said he
should sign off his half of the house and give her all the rrsp.s and
keep it easy. We are not talking about a guy who would even raise his
voice to his wife and a very caring father and if she decided to have an
affair why should she and the boyfriend (she had an affair and carried
it on) get to live the life style she is accustomed to and he can't even
pay rent. We are from Red Deer Alberta and I know he can't afford
another lawyer but any suggestions. I am sick to my stomach about this
and I can see how helpless he feels. PLEASE, IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO
HELP US. MY BROTHER SAID HE IS ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NOT FIGHTING FOR
ANY ASSETS OR HIS TWO DAUGHTERS ANYMORE. IT'S LIKE A DEATH TO HIM. SHE
HONES HIM AND SAYS I HOPE YOU HAVE MONEY TO AT LEAST GET TO WORK TO PAY
ME AND I SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT KNOWING YOU ARE STARVING ha ha! SHE HAS
VERBALLY AND PSYCHICALLY ABUSED HIM THROUGHOUT THE MARRIAGE IN FRONT OF
ALL THE FAMILY AND I AM THANKFUL HE HAS NEVER HIT HER. Kim Re: unfair

Trina, my friend is going through pretty much the EXACT same thing as
your brother, so I know where you are both coming from. My friend has
lost everything in the last year from his house to the fish in his fish
pond (she stole them one weekend when she cleaned out the family home
while he went away with the children for the weekend) if you can access
my email addy from this I would love to hear from you. Leanne Re: unfair

Trina, I can believe what you say. My brother is going through the exact
same thing. What I cannot believe is how unfair our so called justice
system is. Not only is my brother being screwed by the system but 2
other male friends that I know of. My brother has worked hard for over
20 years, thinking that he is building himself a life and family. The
next thing he knows is everything he worked for is taken from under his
feet and handed over to her along with his children. He cannot afford to
live on his own, because by the time he pays her child and spousal
support he has nothing left for himself. In the meantime she brings home
more than he does. Over the past 2 years I have had my eyes opened up to
our so called justice system and just wonder who makes these laws and
if/when they will be changed. Peter Woodcock Re: unfair alimony???

I thought I was alone in this problem! I divorced an alcoholic wife last
year and at the same time lost a good paying job. We were married 15
years with no children. I spent most of that time trying to help her
with her disease. Bottom line "no good deed goes unpunished" I have been
out of work for 18 months and have no money with loosing everything
slowly, day by day.
I was hauled into court in Massachusetts last week and they did not care
that I had no money. I have to pay $3,000 in arrears or go to jail. They
don't care, they just want the money. I am stunned at the kangaroo court
system and loosing faith in our justice? system.
My attorney was useless.
I'm sorry for every decent person that is getting the shaft.....it's
heartbreaking. At least I don't have kids. That would be even worse. Not
to be dramatic but I do think of killing myself or picking up a
drink...but have to keep the faith. Good luck to all of you. Peter Tyler

I too am about to embark on a similar situation. I've been married only
about 2 years but have also shared in the growth of my two children, 3
and 2, with my wife for five years she now wants to leave me. I feel
also I will be dragged through the sharped sprockets of injustice. After
reading your story I can't believe there isn't some type of
constitutional challenge here. I mean you too like myself are citizen of
this so called free country, Canada. Are we not allowed to pursue
happiness here like anyone else and if there are laws preventing us from
that pursuit of happiness, is there then not a constitutional challenge
here? I'm not a lawyer in any aspect of the word but hope this will
bring some insight and direction for your absent Brother. Good Luck

My friend is divorcing his physically and verbally abusive spouse of 21
years (stayed till the kids were 18, and he's being shafted for $45,000
support, she gets ALL the assets (including his retirement!) and he gets
ALL the liabilities. The formula for the support, according to the
judge, was (his income - her income) X 1.5.
This is just wrong. He's worked 3 jobs for 20 years to support her
spending habits and now he's being screwed for it.
Oh, I almost forgot. He has to pay BOTH lawyers.
I love Oklahoma, but you don't want to be a man in a divorce case here.

They (the court system) could care less about the men. As long as you
have access to a newspaper and a park bench that should be good enough
for you.
Then when the guy is at the end of his rope and snaps and does something
to her and gets in trouble with the law everybody scratches their heads
and say "I wonder what got into him" We have a system (thanks in large
to the HATEFUL feminazis) that discriminates against men and until we as
men are willing to stand up for ourselves it will continue and only get
worse. Charles Buchanan Re: unfair alimony??? (Currently 0 replies)

My ex, who lives 7000 miles away from me, is bright and applied for an
alimony increase through her country's court system, when she was in
between jobs. She now has a better paying position and I'm being milked
dry. As a Canadian how can I have this reversed as it's crippling me?

I had a gambling wife for 27 yrs. She spent all the money I made. We
separated last year and she got the house, half the pension, and I have
to pay about half my earnings which she uses to go to Atlantic city and
other gambling places. She used to work but now she says she has a hip
problem. Yet she goes bowling and dancing but the Judge can't see that.
My Lawyer was useless and it looks like he was working for her. They
Just want to move on to the next case and nail another hard working man.
I am very disappointed with the court system. I cant believe that a
Judge can show such a lack of wisdom and understanding. People in a
position of authority and trust should be held accountable for their
actions but I'm sure these arrogant bastards won't be reading this to
educate themselves. I feel for you all. Jennifer Re: unfair alimony???

I have a friend who is married to a severe alcoholic, very abusive
woman. He has documentation of everything she has put the family through
and the lawyer says he can do nothing. He has to pay her 4000+ a month
plus his retirement plus the equity in his house all the assets. She got
fired from her job a day or so ago because of her heavy drinking. This
is a woman who goes through 1.75L of vodka in 2 days. She hits him, she
stalks him, and all the lawyer says is perhaps the judge will grant her
a lifetime of spousal support. I am a woman and I think this is horrid
to ruin someone! The court system sucks, the justice system is bad, and
can't a woman be the abuser and the dead beat? He feels just helpless.

I have been married for 12 years, have one son (7 yrs) and my wife filed
for divorce in February this year. I make $60K/Year Salary plus
Commissions. I am on track to make $100K Gross this year. The court
temporarily ordered me to pay $2900 month Child Support $2000 month
Alimony (She doesn't work, claims she is disabled) 1/2 Mortgage, 1/2
private school tuition, 100% Car insurance, 100% Both life insurance
policies. Oh yea...when we split she took the $25k in the bank earmarked
for taxes. We still have not filed for 2002 because she has all the
receipts and papers. The judge ordered me responsible for paying the
taxes but if there is a refund I have to split it!!! I was making good
money $15-20K per month, but biz got slower just before the breakup. The
judge thinks it was suspicious that the income went down and that I am
hiding income! I am going bankrupt, lost my car, and my son's mother
still claims she has no money for X-Mas shopping. She is going to Toys
for Tots!!!
The way I see it, I could have a bad commission month, I am obligated to
pay out $4900/mo for alimony and support but my salary is $5K/mo BEFORE
TAXES!!!! Where is the justice? Jerry H Re: unfair alimony??? (Currently

Does anyone have any suggestion for avoiding unfair alimony? No kids,
only a greedy ex wife that is getting 40K per year, and garnished my

Unfair alimony and child support. I am a self employed woman who is
shocked at the number of men getting sucked dry through the court system
after divorce. I am involved with a man who resides with me and couldn't
live on his own if he wanted to. The ex-#$$% gets all his pay for
alimony and child support. The courts in N.J. could care less if the man
has enough money to buy a cup of coffee. We are fighting...let her chase
the money...he pays the CS (garnished) but she can chase the alimony!!!
I have no respect for the week and needy women in this world who use the
laws to punish their ex-husbands. If they can't understand why they
aren't married anymore look at how they are through a divorce!! The laws
are wrong. When will men start to fight this. The laws need to be
changed. The laws are never about parenting and children, only money. I
hope no good man ever gets involved with the woman my man has divorced.
Well I could go on and on but there are far too many unfair divorce
cases for men in this country. WORRIED FOR HIM Re: unfair alimony???
