Dr Laura had a great solution for handling divorce:
The kids get the house and the parents take turns visiting.....
Wow, just wow. I agree that jailing a deadbeat is counterproductive in most cases but surely something has to be done? My ex has already spent one 6 month stint in the county jail and is probably headed there again at the end of this month for nonpayment.
I think that is absolutely perfect. Today, custody isn't about the welfare of the children, it's about enriching the pocketbook of one of the parents, almost always the mothers.
Great advice.
I have a brother that believes strongly in 50/50 parenting.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Why subject the kids to moving from here to there every month? It’s their idiot parents that have the problem. Let THEM move. Leave the poor kids alone.
That is an excellent idea.
