Should the Divorce Laws in Canada and the USA be overhauled?

[Anonymous]

I don't see what's wrong with Herman referring to his spouse as a little Asian Wife.



I have a Canadian friend who married a Vietnamese wife as 'the little woman'.



He's a foot taller than she is. But he loves her and has been married for over 10 years.



Actually he moved to Vietnam and he doesn't live here anymore.



Y'know, there are so many North American guys who are avoiding North American women because they feel they're not worth the trouble, they're too demanding, their asking price is too high and they've put themselves out of reach. So many of my friends in Canada are divorced and owing lots of alimony and child support. They get deserted, and although their marriages didn't last, the divorce does and they'll keep paying until death do them part. Marriage was supposed to be permanent, but now it's the opposite way around.



Actually, if I was serious about marriage, I'd do 'a Herman' myself, and look for a wife outside of North America and move outta here like my friend did & live happily ever after. Even if the marriage didn't last, at least the penalty wouldn't be so severe.



I have a friend from the Philippines and he says there is no divorce in that country. And even it doesn't work out, there's no alimony either, so the penalties upon a man aren't so severe as they are in Canada or the US.  He tells me its common for a Philippine man to have several mistresses without paying the consequences over there. That place is what many would consider 'a man's country' as opposed to what North America has become.

Some people are offended by how words are used and others are not..



If someone is offended by being called the little Asian woman she wishes should be respected and not be referred to that way..



It seems Herman's wife does not object.

The have-notley government is searching for 96 people(both men and women) who a combined $6.6 million  in court-ordered Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) payments to their spouses and children in Alberta as of Oct. 2015, an average of roughly $69,500 each.

They owe millions to their spouses and children in Alberta — and they've vanished.



The Alberta government is seeking tips on the whereabouts of 96 people who owe a combined total of $6.6 million in court-ordered Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) payments to their spouses and children in Alberta as of Oct. 2015, an average of roughly $69,500 each.



The government lists them online, including photos and physical descriptions, in an aim to have the public help find them. Only people who have defaulted on their payments for more than six months and cannot be found through extensive employment searches and motor vehicle registrations or have an arrest warrant requested by MEP are listed online.



"Child, spousal and partner support is a critical responsibility," said Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley.



"This web page is a useful tool we use to track down the hardest to find debtors in the MEP. It helps Albertans obtain the court-ordered funds to support their family's well-being."



The "help us find" portion of the website is a "last resort tool" that's proven to work, says the government. When the number of debtors spiked to 145 people in 2009, Albertans helped locate 76 people on the list. In 2014, they helped find 19 people.



The government acknowledges "potential privacy concerns" on the page, but says the profiles are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by MEP investigators before any information is posted online.



Of the 96 debtors listed, 93 are men and 3 are women. A majority come from urban areas, with 26 debtors from the Edmonton region and 29 from Calgary and surrounding communities. The youngest person listed is 31 while the oldest is 70.



The debtors are largely men working in the trades, with former employers in construction, plumbing, carpentry, transportation or oilfield-related work. The list also includes people who have worked as cooks, IT systems analysts, car dealers and even one former real estate agent for Century 21.



Alberta and Ontario are currently the only Canadian provinces that list debtors information online in order to ask for tips, but the "help us find" tool is commonly used by versions of the MEP in several jurisdictions in the Unites States.



The names, photos and profiles are at https://justice.alberta.ca/programs_services/mep/Pages/helpUsFindlistDebtors.aspx">https://justice.alberta.ca/programs_ser ... btors.aspx">https://justice.alberta.ca/programs_services/mep/Pages/helpUsFindlistDebtors.aspx



The MEP tip line is 780-401-8477 or toll free in Alberta at 310-0000.

Women walking away from their obligation to their children.

 

Men who don't pay child support are not men, and women who do the same are still girls.

I'm gonna move ta some place like Asia or Latin America if I'm really serious about marriage, Herman.

You remarried/divorced guys here have really opened my eyes up about the situation in North America & how it's not fair to a man.

It's not 50-50 nor is it 'no fault'. They guy does most of the heavy lifting and takes all the blame.

"If you broke it, you own it" kinda divorce model.

A Brazilian friend of mine told me that if the marriage breaks up in Brazil, the courts/laws trying to make a fairer settlement.

Sole custody or mostly custody is much rarer than it is in North America. It's joint and shared.

As well as the liability, the  courts there look at it as a matter of shared fault rather than pointing the finger at the guy and saying "It's your fault!"

I can only imagine in my nightmares what kind of creatures would even consent to "root" with that pig, Gordy.  



Missing teeth, extra toes, humps and lazy eyes.

That's why he goes to Thailand. He couldn't get laid in an Australian prison with a fist full of pardons.

Doing a Herman? What the hell is that supposed to mean Joe? Are you saying I was intentionally looking for a woman from the Orient? You did not get an idea like that from anything I have said here. I was quite happy being single when we met through work. There are quite a few women wellsite geologists these days, but she was only the second one I ever worked with. We were both expats working in Indonesia and we had instant chemistry. We started living together on our time off in Indonesia and we got married.



Don't make assumptions. I have nothing against North American women. In fact my mother and my sisters are North American women. I had an exotic job for a Saskatchewan farm boy with only a high school education.  I made great money, drove slick vehicles where ever I lived and I had no trouble getting laid anywhere when I was single.

Do a herman - I meant that in a complimentary way.



I now think that it's smart for a guy to marry a poor girl from a developing country with low expectations than a rich one.

Y'know what I've noticed in this country is how even little girls have this sense of entitlement, and when they don't deserve it..

They're often demanding, ultraaggressive. everything handed to them and they're not grateful for what they got.

They don't say Thank You, they don't say please.

They're spoiled.

I was quite surprised that a lady friend of mine from the Philippines thought that today's girls, even her own daugthers were 'mean'. That's what she said. She said that kindness, honesty and decency in a woman meant something when she was growing up there, but not anymore.



That it's better to do what you and my friend in Vietnam did - meet or marry someone from a poor country because then maybe they won't make so many demands. And they'll be grateful for what they get.

You may need to marry a poor girl from a developing country, but I did not have to. I married an educated upper middle class woman. Like I said Joe, I had an exotic job by Saskatchewan farm boy standards, I made great money, I saw the world and I have always owned slick vehicles. It seems you have trouble getting laid and I feel for you brother. But, you will get taken to the cleaners in Asia if you are this pathetic.

Well there ya go. Joe admits he has no game and his only hope are poor women in third world brothels. He should give Gordy a call.

I'm taking in one of your divorced bretheren next week for a week or so, Herman.

He's gonna be stayin' at my place until the end of the month.

Says his ex-wife is breathing down his back for more money and sole custody of their son.

Perhaps if I put him on Skype you could counsel him on how ta git through the difficult times, eh?

I am no counsellor Joe. If he needs advice about how to maximize crop yield I could help. There must be lots of divorced old farts like where you live. Ask one of them.
