Who's ya Daddy!

Yep,same thing with my ex,I Found out after 9 yrs of marriage,3 kids and a mortgage that I was playing second fiddle to another bloke and had been since day 1.
She got rid of me,got the house and all furnishings plus 1/3 of my money each week.Her and the Boyfriend figured they could then afford to move to a very nice area and bought a house that's worth over 1 Mill today.
And who was the one who got screwed by the Family law courts system,Me,because I'm a male.
I will never hit a woman ,but I can seriously understand why some bloke punch the living fuk out of them.

I find it 'funny' that in the family court, we have a legally sanctioned system in place where a women can knowingly defraud a man to any extent the courts enable her to, and it is not considered a crime. There are few if any other areas of law where that is allowed.

There is no doubt that there are many bad fathers out there, and making them take some responsibility for their children is right and fair, but at the moment, the system is often stacked too far against men (although, often the court seems to favour whichever parent is going to be most harmful to the child's interests for some reason ).

Anyway... I am not sure how the system could be made fairer, but there are some things that should be done. Allowing paternity tests in cases where parentage is disputed is a reasonable first step.

As I said, the Family Court actually did the right thing for me , but that was mainly because the ex' was so blatantly contemptuous of THEM.
Even then I'm not sure if I would have got custody is she hadn't finally agreed to it, but at the time the Court had warned her that if she fkd the court around one more time she would lose them.
Her response was simply, "Fk you, and your bratts, take them if it means that much to you"!
I sure can pick 'em!

As it now stands the law is that you can't have a paternity test done unless the mother agrees in writing, and if that's not a blatant miscarriage of justice I don't know what is!
It's like saying you can't prosecute a bank robber unless HE agrees to allowing evidence to be gathered!
Making such testing automatic would eliminate that problem, and prevent much distress and many battles later in life, which inevitably hurt the child worst of all involved.
What possible justification can there be for saying that a woman's rights exceed and cancel out all other's?
