Have a precious 2 year old boy that I'll get during alternating holidays and summer.

No child support or alimony, didn't even have to pay for an attorney

I'm wondering if I should go buy a lottery ticket. Perhaps too soon?

Congrats.

We have a hearing for a new trial in two weeks on the financial issues. That will be two years and three months after she first filed. I try not to think about how much I have spent.

I remember that day.

Best part was that she was trying to act like it was the happiest day of her life when we were in court to get the final order signed, because I must have been sooooo horrible to the point that it was obvious. When she saw that I literally did not care about a single thing she did/said and that I was truly happy being done with her and her shit, which was on display in front of everyone, I remember the moment, because I saw it, when she realized that I was now truly happy and she was just going to go on with her miserable existence - alone.

Yay.

It's a bit more complicated than that. It's not that I'm a bad father or can't provide for the boy, or won't be in his life, but different states, health issues, education, I can honestly say this is what's best for the boy.

So you basically don't get to see your kid?

I am glad that you are happy but, many would argue that no father in the boys life for most of the year is not what is best for him.

You know your situation better than anyone else though.

Damn brother !!!! She basically took your child from. You get to see your child very little. That's not a good thing. There are what ? 10 Holidays in a year and summer is about 2 months ? I don't think you won this one OP

Divorce laws were made in the 20's and 30's when mama stayed home and daddy went to work. When daddy found a chickie and left mama, the laws had to be in her favor so life could go on.

Things have somewhat changed today and I congratulate any man that comes out for the good if he didn't bear the blame for the divorce.

How does one get divorced, not pay an attorney, not pay alimony or child support? You should write a book.

It is a 50/50% chance. I know many people who went on to 2nd marriages and have been married for 30+ years. For me I would miss my children. Contrary to what you read in the mainstream news media there are many men who really care about their child.
