Taken from another forum, what a fucking scam concept
"No Fault Divorce is the biggest slight against the institution of marriage there is.
A good friend of mine went through that. He was well off but at one point his work required more travel than usual. His wife "got lonely" started ****ing a "friend", "fell in love" and kicked him out. I say kicked him out because when he found out one angry but non threatening text ( I read it myself) was all it took to get an order of protection. In the divorce he lost his home (which he still pays for on court order), 30% of his take home, and equal amount of that to spousal support as she is unemployed, half his retirement accounts and other investments, everything they had in savings (he found out about the affair when she withdrew everything from their accounts) which the courts would do nothing about and every last dime he had or could borrow to hire a layer for himself and her (court order).
He lives in his old room at his parents house now. The other guy now lives in the home he pays for with his ex wife and children but they will not marry as that would cost her the spousal support. When he started pulling over time to try and set back some money to get a place so he could get overnight visitation with his kids she drug him back to court for more money. They awarded it and now that he has lost all overtime due to his job scaling back he has to spend what he saved going back to court to get the payments reduced to pre OT rates.
That's the risk. Is it worth it?"
This happened almost verbatim to a guy I used to work with. Some more details: He had a full time job but also ran a paint shop out of his house. Wife began fucking one of HIS hired painters. She gets everything in the divorce including the paint business. She and his ex-employee now live in the house....There was no retraining order. The poor guy has to live in the basement while he figures out living arrangements. Meanwhile his wife and ex employee are fucking in his old bed and running his paint shop. He eventually moves back into parents house.
Everybody who knew him was shocked at how royally he got screwed. I think I would've killed somebody at this point BUT....He hung in there and.....
She did not have any business skills and se loses the paint shop anyway. The guy (ex-husband) either follows her or hires a P.I., I can't remember exactly but he finds her drunk driving WITH the children in the car. So she gets locked up for DUI AND Child Endangerment. He gets custody of the kids back...
Now she has a house she can't afford, no kids, no child support comming in and no paint shop.
