          Too bad you didn't get the kids and household contents and got her to pay support, didn't work and moved the kids 6 hrs away from mom, I wonder how well that would go over if a man did it!

          I guess that doesn't help you, I would say time for some changes before its too late, even though you may think its too late, and move closer and find a job near them, then go for shared custody and less support payments, if you can work that into your life over the next little while. Maybe seek some sort help to put a plan in motion or put a plan together that will have good results and a goal for a better life down the road. I am not sure who could help you with such a thing, maybe some sort of community support group. Sometimes it all seems so exhausting and never ending and useless to try and make it better, but a plan with goals and help putting it together can help a lot.

            This poster either knows nothing about children, knows nothing about men or knows nothing at all.

            Nomad now that you seem to have reached the bottom there is only one thing to do. Use your head and get climbing. It could always be worse. My kids recharge my hope and give me strength. Life is long seize but the day. Find a way to make it better. All children need a fathers even if were not allowed to see them like normal, we are important. Don't ever let anyone fool you, we need them too.

                Thank you for positive comments the problem is my oldest boy is autistic
                He will always need someone he won't be able to look after himself . She moved to little current on manitulin island Ontario , she shacked up with a native and now lives on a reserve , she is not native and I am not being predudice but she can't find work up there and doesn't bother , she quit a full time job to move there , I am frustrated becuse I have a good paying job and the benifits are good for my son so I am trying to be responsible by staying at my job , how ever I fear I have lost everything half my pension , I am bankrupt and now I will have to her to sit on her ass , I pay $733.00 for child support 200.00 for special expenses now looking at $554.00 in spouse support , so I am drowning . In January I couldn't afford to see them cause money is so tight , so I am freaking out cause I am damed either way

                  Stories like this scare the living bejesus out of me.

                  Nomad. Keep your head up. Things have a way of working themselves out. Listen to Franklin's post. When my child was abducted and all I heard about was money I was baffled, numb, traumatized, literally lying on the floor of what used to be the family home a day prior vomitting. It's disgusting what money can do to people.

                  I am an ABA therapist (dont do it anymore but apply my skills to autistic kids i schools) as well as an EA. Go take a course and get board certified to be a behavioral consultant for autism (BCBA). Learn every dimension of autism. Talk about looking after the child's best interests.

                  Take a deep breath. The sun will shine again.

                    So sounds like you have been through the courts to fight this situation and the system sees this as in the children,s best interest.
                    Or you have not had the time energy or money mostly money to hire a lawyer. Some think lawyers fix everything, and they can certainly help to, just cost to much for what they are capable of doing for you.

                    You see I have distance for moving clause, a no travel out of Ontario clause ,a no passport clause, spousal clause has a termination date and mabey the most important clause is, WE SHARE DROP OFF AND PICK UP TRAVEL. I did this as self represented. The paperwork filing stuff is draining but only cause the same info is repeated on almost every form asking the same simple questions with different wording causing even more stress.

                    Are you paying more than 60% of your income? I havn,t found that law in the law act but a judge mentioned it in court one time.

                    If your wife used to work and quit her job she is violating her obligation to support her children. Are you in FRO. Stop paying. FRO will eventually take you to court after you file a refraining order form to stop them taking your drivers lic. Its easy dont be intimidated. When you get to court you lay it out for judge if they think you should go to jail let them try. Dont worry about it they are to concerned with covering their asses to do something that stupid.

                    Look I had a friend who owed 30 grand by the time he goes to court the second time and still hasnt seen a judge,you figure that one out, FRO makes a deal if he will pay 10. His wife was a head case and he had an argument with very little proof . thing is he is down and out too. it is harder trying to keep your standards. A good job is a great job and I know I couldn,t give it up to roll around in welfare.

                    If you dont know what to do stop paying, thats a start. you can always put that money aside and pay up when you and your kids gain back some of the respect that has been stolen from you.

                      Franklin,
                      yes my support is payed thru fro , court order it cause of the distance , honestly doesn't bother me one bit one less thing to deal with her about,
                      the issue I am having is after 4 years of seperation she is asking for spouse support , I can't afford it , i pay child support + special expenses for my autistic son, thats all i can afford , money is so tight that I couldn't afford car repairs and gas in order to drive to pick them up so i ddin't see them in january now she is wanting spouse support ,
                      if she is awarded it , i am screwed , she is doing everything i her power to crush me and alienate me from my boys .

                        Don,t panic. Do not agree to these demands. Judge cant make order till trail. first case conferences then settlement conference then trial mangt then Trial.

                        Your big problem is the travel. Focus on that. Again only you know where your money goes. She probably has legal aid,so what, don,t be fool, they need you to sighn to make a new order. Now start to imagine some grave concerns for your children, convince your self they are ligit, put the courts in a position to cover their asses and fight with your brain.

                        In saying that I cant imagine how moving far away from the food pond witch is you can be good for your kids. Or am I missing something.

                        The system only pretends to care you have to make them follow through.

                          Dont be scared it is lame.

                          From what you have explained here she is not entitled to spousal support.

                          Also not sure of the history but i wonder if moving your kids to a reserve is in their best interest.

                            She can ask for SS all she wants. But isn't likely going to get it.

                            A - unless she can prove her carrier was impaired due to decisions relating to the family, made during the marriage, she has no shot.

                            B - over 4 years have passed, she has been self-sufficient, made unilateral decisions that negatively impacted her carrier POST divorce, and now lives with another man whole has take on the role of supporting her.

                            Her argument for SS is so bad that the only way she likely wins is if you capitulate.
