I would fight to the death to spend that time with my daughter!

Seriously though, Jonko, I can't believe that! Not only that they would FORCE you into counseling, but that they would make you pay for it? I don't even know where to start with that. That is WAY over the line.

Well we split up 2 years ago… in this country you can't get divorced until you've been apart for at least 2 years so I guess time has eased everything. At this point I just want to get on with living.

Woah, where do you live? I've never heard of laws like that… that's pretty interesting, and probably a good idea.

They do that where I live, too (East Coast U.S.). People who want to get a divorce have to give it a one-year waiting period. After that year, if they still want a divorce, then they can proceed.

I have never been through a divorce, nor do I plan to. I think if you get married, then it's for life. Divorce is just an "easy way out" to me; if one is thinking about divorce, then why get married in the first place? I believe in the whole "mend it, don't end it" theory: if you have a problem in a marriage, talk it over; don't run away.

A family member of mine is going through a divorce now because he and his wife never communicated. I feel especially bad for his kids; they are very young and will grow up thinking divorce is OK. On another note, my husband was once divorced at a young age (I think he was 25 at the time), because his then-wife decided she wanted to be a lesbian. huh!?

Not that I've been through it, but I think divorce is necessary in some cases. Like the lesbian thing you mentioned, abusive couples, or people who just got married too soon before getting to know each other well enough. If someone is making you totally miserable, I don't think you should stay with them. Seeing one's parents constantly fighting isn't good for kids, either.

Expect to have child pedophile services called on you. If not by your ex, then someone. For single parents it's almost an inevitability (here anyways).

fixed.

I'm pretty sure Hakoshen is a social worker, kyupol. In which case you probably just said something REALLY offensive to him.

Sorry but thats the truth. Those child "protective" services are full of pedophiles.

Yes there are good people in it. Who are in it for the right reasons. But that doesn't change my opinion of CPS. I do not trust the CPS. Sorry.

And I highly encourage everyone I know to NOT TRUST the CPS.

I don't say random things without the proof to back it up. I know its hard to believe but its about time you open your eyes and see the real world. Sorry if this post may sound rude and offensive, but it really disgusts me how people would rob a child of his/her innocence.

If you can torture children, you literally are a demon from the lowest circle of hell.

How a pedophile slipped through the cracks

It's shameful really, and I'll I'll grant you those five, but you'll have just as much luck convincing me not to keep a German Shepherd for a pet because someone somewhere got mauled by one. With hundreds of thousands of CPS workers in the civilized world, five, ten or twenty is hardly "full of." However, Ozone said everything else I might say in response, so I'll leave it at that.

But honestly, here in the south especially near the military installations where divorces are rampant; we literally have some people who believe that if they call CPS on their ex enough times we'll remove the children and place with them. It's so annoying to show up to a house where they say "My ex-wife is an unfit mother and she's beating the kids black and blue and starving them and she's whoring herself out to pay rent" only to show up and find the kids are fat, happy, and the mother makes more than I do and only works half the hours.

It's compounded by the fact that every faculty member of the school is a mandated reporter, so if any of your kids show up with anything that MIGHT resemble abuse, they're required by law to report, punishable by up to six months of jail time. Long story short, 70% of all cases we get are total crap, and half of those involve divorces. But if you two had a clean break so to speak, then you ought to have nothing to worry about.

I don't know about CPS, but at my school there was MANDATORY counseling (with a psychiatrist) for all children of divorced parents, which was REALLY expensive.

My parents had to hide the fact that I was divorced for 5 years from my school because of that… I thought the mandatory part was a little extreme…

Wow. That really sucks. Did you go to a private academy or something?

When my parents got divorced it was â€˜cus my dad went behind my momâ€™s back to another country and did it there >_> then he wouldnâ€™t leave the house to my mom even though she had custody me and my sister forcing us to move. Eventually the mess with the house was sorted out after the bank made a fuss and she bought it off him. Even so he continued to live there without paying rent so all the locks had to be changed. Then he vanished off the radar for a year. When he got back he bought us a hd bravia tv.

And thatâ€™s my experience of divorce!
