Well, I could stay and fight the system, but that would only result in death and destruction.  A revolution would require more men to participate.  Most men these days are cowards, so it ain't going to happen.

I could put up with her, for my son's sake.  But, since most divorces are initiated by women - it's a very poor strategy.  You'll lose what little advantage you have in court by waiting for her.

Abandon your son?  Yeah shitty and cowardly.  I'll agree with you on that.  Running off with him and all the assets to the Philippines?  I'd call that brave. At least, he can learn good family values from a culture that hasn't been completely poisoned by feminists.

I have never seen an "amicable" divorce.  At least, not in this state.  

Good luck OP. Hope everything works out for you and at the very least have a Happy Independence Day

This juror finds in favor of dcat.  

If you haven't done so already, please watch the documentary Divorce Corp.  It's a rigged system and men get the shaft.  The kids lose their dads and the dads lose their shirts to the courts and the ex's that don't deserve a fraction.  The courts make a percentage off all the child support that flows through .  It's all bullshite.

Lol. I thought it but didn’t type it. Yeah, definitely don’t want them in that household. Your toxic relationship will damage them far more than divorcing your wife.

He’s tried to make it work. She’s checked out. Marriage is already over. He needs to cut her loose and focus on his relationship with his kid.

If you can do this ^, you have will.

A significant percentage of women can, and will, turn into crazy bitches as they grow old, so use some will and move on.

Also, I’d bet that you don’t have to look any further than one of her parents to find the answer to your questions. Life is short and I certainly wouldn’t let some inherently mean woman lower my quality of life.
