I just wanted to say my piece on our Legal system.
The courts preach for splitting parents to get along for the childrens sake. So in their infinte wisdom, they design a system that makes it near impossible to be amicable with each other because they take the custodial parent and throw them on a pedestal and take the paying parent and throw them under the bus.
At some point enough has to be enough. The paying parent can not be completely finanacial responsible for the children. Me and my ex chose to have children. So why am I the only one paying for their well being. If the children are "ours" then should the courts not factor in an amount from her as well. In what society does a 9 year old child cost nearly $500 a month not taking into account any money the custodial parent should be contributing as well.
The courts when they make their decision are simply saying the following.
"You the custodial parent will have smiles and rainbows until your children are 23"
"You the paying parent are now a system of financial support with some visitation to your children,ohh and by the way you are now at the mercy of your ex. Just keep the money flowing and all should work out...hopefully"
I know have less ill feelings to those fathers you hear that finally pack it in and dissapear. I am not saying its right at all so dont go freaking out. But sometimes a paying parent is forced to either continue living in extreme poverty and at the mercy of their vindictive Ex, or make a hard decision and try to start over and this is the fault of our Family Court System and theirs alone.
But hey, were Canadians and since when do Canadians have any kind of cahonies. Us Canadians for the most part just accept things as they are. Hence the reason the American Family Laws are much more equal for both parties.
Let the insults start flying!
