DTTE is blunt to the point of coming across as rude to the "more sensitive" among us.

However, if you can get over the butt hurt, he's correct WAY more often than he's not.
 
I will admit that after my first few posts I had more than a little sniffle. It hurt to get that kind of reality check. But there was nothing rude about anyone's response, it had everything to do with me not being able to see things from the other side. Some of those "rude" posters were the ones that gave me that reality check and it was the best thing for me.

If you think posters are being unnecessarily harsh, you can report them to the admins. But I urge everyone to try to read responses objectively, and try to understand the advice they are being given. Nobody really wants to be here and I think we are all here to help others as much as ourselves (sometimes more).

If that harsh reality check helps you to avoid being ripped apart by a judge, spending thousands unneccessarily on lawyers and court costs, it's worth a little wounded pride. Remember, none of us are perfect.

Merry Christmas!

You're kidding...right?

It's called "dry" humour. A mild jab, with no pain or real insult, and completely out of the blue. It is supposed to confuse you, in an innocent way.

....sheesh....
 
Im brand new to this site and cant figure out how to start a thread. If anyone can give me a little info it would be much appreciated.
 
It seems a lot of people have thta issue when they're new, I think it's a board thing. Anyways, you should be able to see a 'new topic' button to the top left of any forum.
 
hello,all

hello,all

I've been here a short while.Lots of good info,also fair amount of criticisim??{wrong spelling]Both i think are required for someone to self rep...anyways.....i came here for info,suggestions,horror stories and such, so i can find a way to end my particular issue..s...so hi to all .....personally,i seem to be 200 % involved and on the edge of sanity??? with a clear plan of action...OR....thinking about what needs/has to be done......I've got 3 big beautiful university boys who all graduate in 2015......21,19ish and 18ish,,,,,,i live in manitoba and need to address adult children support issues....i've looked at lots of stuff on the net and see the way through[sometimes] and debate the issue other times with myself.
The oldest has his first degree,is 21 ,and completed 4 yrs university,#1 in his class actually,and is now goind to med school....I'm a skilled tradesperson,not a "professional".
The middle is out of town and is expensive at u of waterloo.
The youngest is in 1st year university,3 days a week.Is this Part time???living at home.
Things are right where the should be......
I pay about 700 bi-weekly for my boys.about 550ish for general child support and about 150 bi-wk for special.18,200/yr total for CS.
My plan...modify these expenses......oldest SHOULD be done,youngest may not qualify as he is Part time??????
I feel i'm paying about the right amount.IF they did not have education accounts since birth for the specific purpose of education,as agreed and practiced while married.
As SHE,denise all this,i must pay approx 6,000 for a professional to deal with this,,,,,self rep looks like the alternative...
I've sent registered letters for the last 5 years asking for her income info[due sect 7's].....no response........I got a real lawyer to send a letter for same and received some.............Then-i sent a registered letter to her lawyer[as she requested] and received ,,no response....[for further info]
I'm now going to send a notice of self rep to her lawyer and wait for his response and then hopefully,a notice of motion for financial info with NO notice to HER,and a order for her to produce.
Then go from there,as to ending#1 son and maybe #3.......
SO.....i'm looking for good information,opions,suggestions and such....

thanks
bbd

Pls don't get me wrong...i support my boys,always will...just want to pay my fair share and feel i'm not at the moment.....thx again
 
i am a newbie to this site, also a newbie to forms, how do i start a post?

hello, i am looking for the proper way to start a post here, anybody help me?
 
Just click on the very top of the page "divorce advice, family law". That gives you a page of broad topics. Choose the broad topic that fits your question best and click. See the "new topic button. Click and away you go.....
 
There's usually a waiting period between when you join and when you can start a new post, which would be why you aren't/weren't able to start a new thread right away.
