Family Court Took $197,000 — and Calls It Fair

By -




In reference to this situation, today is the first business day at the end of the entire divorce in question. What is meant here is that all alimony and child support is paid. The then-minor child is now age 18, and has graduated high school (last Friday evening). This is important because according to Tennessee law, that satisfies the requirements to end the wealth redistribution alimony and child support. 

People ask why so many posts about men's rights? 

1. Men are people, too, and deserve basic human treatment. 
2. Our system is HEAVILY skewed against the men. 
3. There are not many people singing the song of men's rights, and we need more. 

Here are the numbers behind it:
This divorce was filed in 2012. 
"Child Support" paid since then: $147,000
"Alimony" paid since then: $50,000
Total wealth redistribution: $197,000. 

And that doesn't include the over $200,000 paid to the attorneys in this case!  

Real Total: $397,000. 

The man in question in that divorce owed less than that on the house he owned at that time. It could have been paid off entirely had the wealth not been stolen from him by the "legal" system. 
This is outrageous! 
This is unacceptable! 
This is why this blog will still point these terrible things out!!! 

If this is what fairness looks like, it’s worth asking whether the system is functioning as intended. And if the system is functioning as intended - it is time to change it dramatically!!!

    I paid a bit over $137,000 over 17.5 years. 3 kids, after each one graduated, when my support was supposed to go down, instead they changed it back to what I had been paying with the previous kid added in.
    Of course, my ex went to college while I paid child support to her and her new hubby. She got a masters degree, never worked and they kept her share of raising my kids at a 40 hour, minimum wage based amount for her. In the mean time, I had to work 70 and 80 hour weeks just to be able to live myself and my current wife.
    If I were a young man again, I would never get married. You got it right that men are considered second class citizens when they go into court.

    My ex had me in court on and off for about 10 years to the tune of $100k. We had one child and weren't even married, but in Illinois the only ones that make out are the judges, Attorney's and GAL. There's a meme I think with Paulie from Goodfellas that says, "fuck you, pay me" and that is spot on for Illinois lawyers, There's a documentary called Divorce Corp. Surreal.

A Few Updates on an Older Post

By -
This post to serve as an update on a post that is over 10 years old. The Rifleman has a strong memory (from time to time). On that post, a reader asked, "Any word? How did the remand hearing go?" For reasons that are not pertinent to this post, the Rifleman did not neglect to answer this question, but instead, postponed the answer until a more appropriate time. This time has come.  In the remand, it is important to first state a particular fact: The judge that issued the ruling, Tom Gray, retired shortly after his errant ruling. As a matter of fact, four of his last five rulings (the author's brother's ruling being one of these) were overturned in appellate courts. Divorce ruling appeal successful . In a move that still strikes this author as exceptionally odd, Gray  requested to be the judge on the remand hearing. Brother's lawyer argued that it is extremely peculiar to allow a civilian to hear a divorce remand, and the Sumner county Court agreed, and the sittin...

False Arrests

By -

A Tennessee State Trooper has arrested (at least) 8 SOBER people for DUI.  Here is a YouTube video on the false arrest.  Here is a video on the issue by Steve Lehto.  There are several questions that come to mind here.  1. How many more people were falsely arrested by this trooper? 2. How many people have been falsely arrested by other troopers in a similar manner?  3. Why has the Tennessee Highway Patrol not already fired this trooper, and made a public statement distancing themselves from this practice? 4. Why does Governor Lee refuse to acknowledge the problem? Is he simply unaware?  5. Was it just this trooper and just his ego?  6. Were quotas at the root of this problem?  That last question is the one I am most curious about.  Of course, someone will invariably come along and make the claim that since Tennessee has banned quotas by law enforcement departments, that there are simply no quotas being enforced. That, of course, would be a...

This Will Trigger The Weak

Seen on Social Media: Your Wife Is Your First Daughter—Treat Her Like a Baby, Or She’ll Break Your Home Let’s scatter the woke table: Your wife is not your equal. She’s not your therapist. And she’s definitely not your homeboy. She’s your first daughter—emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. And the moment you start expecting her to “reason like a man” or “carry half the weight,” you’ve already lost. The modern man is confused. He's told to be vulnerable, yet punished when he shows weakness. Told to be “emotionally available,” yet abandoned when he starts crying like a choirboy. Let’s get this straight: Women were designed to be nurtured. Not negotiated with. Let’s break it down like a real father would. — 1. Every Woman Is a Grown Baby Looking for Emotional Security She’ll talk tough. She’ll claim she’s independent. But when the bills land or the pressure hits? She’s curled up in your arms, needing your shoulder—and your wallet. Why? Because biologically, her system runs on h...
