Dave, having been through two divorces, albeit both handled in my favor, compared to your lack of fortune, I must say that I find your sig line interesting.

OK, they offered it once in my 4 years there. Looks like I'll be doing the CAD/GIS side job for a while, assuming I can find a client or two.

I don't know your current profession, but if you work a job that doesn't pay much or as much as you need and you have good skills in AutoCAD or Microstation, then start looking for an engineering drafting job. There are plenty companies needing work right now and in my locale, drafters and detailers are in great demand and making very, very good money. I work as an structural engineer and I'm having trouble keeping up with names from all the detailers and drafters they have been hiring lately.

Sorry to hear about that. You'll make it through it all. A famous quote of mine that I don't think I've ever recited here might help.

LOL, great quote, I'll have to remember that one.

that blows man. My Brother-in-law has a situation kinda like yours. You should look into fathers rights groups in your area.

I'd say try to find a good lawyer. My BIL sucked but I would think with some looking around you could get someone decent.

If you can do this, more power to you, because that's not how the system works. Unless she's smoking crack in front of the kids and their friends, there's no way.

Dave, I'll say what so many others have: This really sucks, man. We're praying for it to get better for you. Hang on, hold in there, and find joy in whatever you can. When the bitterness leaves and you can find happiness in your everyday activities, NO ONE can get you down.

simple... the power of women.. good luck brotha..

**Kauzi XD45** · 10-06-2006, 07:12 AM

Good Luck Bro!

I am going through the same thing, I have my daughter 4 days a week every week and I still have to pay the bitch $550 a month. (thats under review though) so it might change. Best of luck to you!

jcrich33 · 10-06-2006, 07:24 AM

Damn Dave, that sucks. Sometimes it seems that women are viciously vindictive for no other reason that they "can be". Hang in there though. Check into some father's rights groups. Maybe they can help you some.

Sadly, sometimes even that doesn't matter.
