What It Was Like To Get A Divorce In Australia

One of the highlights of my day is avidly reading the articles on ROK and similar sites. Having recently been through the divorce wringer myself, I was interested to read about the trials of my northern brothers and decided to write about my experience. I’m not a lawyer so don’t quote me, and this is a casual discussion, so I won’t include references.

I’m 50 years old. I was with my former wife for 23 years and I have three kids. She was an attractive slim girl who had a few boyfriends and flings before we met, but she did want to settle down, buy a house, and have a family one day. Additionally, she did not remain in contact with her exes nor flirt with other men despite her attractiveness, unlike most of her contemporaries today.

When we met she was struggling with university and work so I lent her my spare car to save her the hassle of catching buses etc, and she genuinely appreciated it! Displaying that sort of kindness weakness today will see you ruthlessly exploited.

It was basically a successful marriage with only the last three years being toxic. I threw myself into work and study, getting out of debt and investing for the future but in truth I had become an ogre, unbalanced and obsessive.

We had grown apart, yet I was clueless and taken completely by surprise when she announced one morning that we were done. That was a difficult time for me, the first month I was basically paralysed and could not so much as remember the pin on my phone.

Divorce, Australian style

Despite mirroring the US in obesity, promiscuity and repellent behaviour in general, about one third of marriages here fail, and the system, although shitty, is fairer to fathers for the most part compared to the US.

Most splits here are initiated by the women and she can walk out on you for any reason… or no reason at all. Once you separate, all assets are placed into a pool and are divided with the women usually getting about 60-65% if there are kids and she works. If she is a stay at home mum she will get more so watch it! Assets held before the marriage can be exempt but documentation is key.

You can’t get a divorce until you have been separated for a year and this time is well spent cooling off, moving on, and working out logistics with the ex.

During my divorce I consulted many lawyers, taking advantage of their free half hour consultation during our first meeting. I got a feel for the process and learned that most settlements fall into the 60/40 split noted above, and to fight that would be very expensive and time consuming. As a result, most men I know cough up and avoid court altogether, saving tons of money and aggro. Much better for the kids too.

There is no alimony in Australia, but if there is a large income disparity between the parties, you may have to pay her “spouse maintenance” for a time. This is not a perpetual impost, and is usually limited to two years or so. The ex is required to retrain, become gainfully employed, and so on during that time.

I have only heard of one man who had to pay his ex-spouse maintenance and that was because she did not work. Staying home with the kids is great for their development and wellbeing but get her back into the workforce when the kids are in high school or else you could be slugged!

Child support is based on each parent’s income and their portion of care. Fathers basically have equal access rights as the mother, so you will get 50% custody if you want (unless you have been bad), and as a bonus you will not go to prison if you can’t pay her! You can’t avoid the debt by going bankrupt, but if business is bad, or you lose your job, or go back to school, your obligations are reduced as a result.

Child support is also capped at about 2.5 times average earnings, so this is great news for wealthy alpha men and high achievers. Australian family law is controlled federally so there are no idiosyncratic state regulations to ambush you.

Being married or living together makes no difference to your access rights or obligations to your kids and once you have lived with her for two years she has a claim on your assets, so watch this and make her sign a binding financial agreement! These aren’t watertight however, especially when children appear, and the court can overturn or amend them. The informal advice I have though is that BFA’s or pre-nups are worth the expense.

So how have I fared after my divorce?

Aside from trying to marry a couple of completely unsuitable women (future article perhaps), I am happier. I have more free time and am rebuilding my finances. I am studying, getting serious about my small business and hitting my fitness goals. It is obviously a traumatic and expensive experience, but I have my kids about half the time now and as a result have more leisure, and enjoy seeing them these days.

5 things I have learned

1. People change a hell of a lot between their mid 20’s to mid-40’s and most of the time they drift apart.

2. Smart phones, social media, obesity, and the poisonous politics of our age make it much harder to find a  suitable woman, court her, and keep her.

3. Your kids are your long-term assets and you will derive ferocious satisfaction inoculating them against the new age crap they bring home from school.

4. Every man must work on himself if he wants to compete.

5. Demography is destiny.

I don’t know if I’ll get married again but I am sure as hell happy that I gave it my best shot.

The internet is a powerful medium for change, both good and bad, and the rapid pace of our age can work in our favour, so keep up the great work at ROK.

      Thank goodness I went abroad young. I did not miss anything.
      I almost married an Irish American girl.
      Screw that.
      Thank goodness she broke off with me in 98,.

  1. JOHN
    Screw the holiday, I like living in Northeast Thailand in the middle of nowhere. Philippines was sort of like Mexico, to me. But I was there for a few years.
    I almost married at 23. Great. I’m from Detroit, a bleak post-industrial city. Let us say I had married.
    A) I’d never have bedded hundreds of women of different races. I’d have had experience with three white girls of sex in the dark while drunk/stoned on pot in university and then the same woman the rest of my life.
    B) I’d be divorced.
    C) Two kids.
    D) Never traveled or worked at a variety of jobs. Live in a cold place my entire life going to work in the snow.
    E) Property (If I kept it) worth jackshit.
    F) Listen to Christians moan about how JOOZE run their existence and make them become porn addicts ruined the economy etc.
    G) At 44 my kids would be in their teens, I’d be middle-aged so no chance of getting sex from any decent-looking women, hoping the “jobs would come back” and my entire life spent in some place that had declined.
    H) Child support, college for the kids.
    I) Maybe daughter a slag, or son gets into hard drugs.
    SCREW ALL THAT SHIT.
    Instead
    A) I finished University and moved away from a depressing place.
    B) I moved overseas and lived around the world, having sex with all sorts of races of women (Indian, Arab, Russian, Chinese, South African Boer, Filipino, Bangladeshi, Thai of course, German, English, Maltese, Italian, Iranian, Turkish).
    C) I ended up being a father later on in life to a woman who was not going to divorce me simply to “find herself” in her 30’s or something and end up fucking some callow 25 year old guy on hen night who just wanted to get his penis wet.
    D) Don’t have to blame any particular group.
    E) You’re a crap father as a younger man anyhow, by 40 you’re worn out.
    F) Did the whole drug and alcohol thing without having any responsibilities in my 20’s (I quit everything but cigarettes but we all get high in our 20’s on booze or pot).
    G) Asian property value rises while most of the West will decline.
    H) I have lost track of the media. Little BBC News and maybe some old films on Netflix (I like 80’s video nasties and cheese) so I do not give a shit what Hollywood preaching.
    I) I do not have to give a shit about the JOOZE. They are not controlling my life.
    In fact I do not have to give a shit about North America. I would not want my ashes scattered there.

    1. >I like living in Northeast Thailand in the middle of nowhere.
      How one can enjoy living among degenerate thai monkey people is beyond me…
      It’s hardly #winning but merely existing in a primitive monkey kingdom as a white n*gger, thinking you’re above the white man’s struggle…
      There is a reason why most retirees in Thailand turn alcoholic and / or suicidal. There is nothing in it for you in their primitive mud hut dwelling “culture”.
      >Asian property value rises while most of the West will decline.
      Thai properties only rise in value on paper. In reality there is no secondary market and you won’t be able to realize any gains, let alone break even more often than not before the inevitably mismanaged condo looks like garbage.
      Meanwhile in major cities in the US and Europe you have real gains that you can realize not just on paper.

      1. Reader,
        I live near the second largest city. Modern 3 bedroom house (my misses does also own a mud hut in the jungle) with 3 shower rooms, air-con, high speed internet. I can afford to go out for lunch and drinks with my pals any day I like, cost of living is low. I don’t own property, so don’t care about prices. It’s certainly as civilized a place as anywhere I’ve lived in the world. With the advantage of readily available sex with young women, whenever I feel like it.
        I did have a big house in the UK, but my former wife had it off me in the divorce. That’s when I realized, if you live with a woman in the west, you don’t own a home, it belongs to her and you live there by her grace and favour.

        1. >Modern 3 bedroom house
          On some dust road built out of the shittiest possible materials and you can’t even own that place because you’re a white n*gger thus have no rights in their monkey kingdom. You’re only free to own ridiculously overpriced mismanaged condos that fall apart in a year – the longest running con against white n*ggers in thailand pretty much.
          >I can afford to go out for lunch and drinks with my pals any day I like
          You mean your fellow degenerates that commit bestiality with thai monkeys?
          I have never met a western guy with male thai monkey friends. They live in their own mud hut dwelling street food world while their women fuck white men. They know they don’t stack up and they’re itching for the day where you end up on farang-deaths.com

        2. Reader,
          It’s in a gated community, safe for my kids to play out in the road after school every evening, unlike the UK. You may be right about the men, I only mix with British and Australians.

        3. JOHN
          “Safer than UK” I’d feel safer walking in Asia than Detroit or the bad parts of any UK city.

        4. JOHN
          To be honest I avoid Americans completely. Actually few Americans communicate here because none of them want anything to do with their country or citizens.
          Recently to Stupid Mexican Fags that had US citizenship pulled their pants down and desecrated a religious site. That is how intelligent your average American is.

      2. Still better than living with beta men and fat dykey women with tattoos. At least Thai men are muscular and their women are real feminine women that know how to look after a man!
        I find most retired old white men are losers there (overweight, can’t lift, rejects) that can’t get any women back home. They only way they get sex is by paying for it! Pattaya for me was like a retirement village of old fat men with hookers everywhere. All the poisonous western food that I avoid in one location. Felt westernised to me which I hated!
        On the other hand, these real men like us that go over to Thailand to be around real women cause we don’t have any back home! For me, it really opened my eyes to what our ancestors experience before Feminism destroyed our women and turn them into cheap hoes. I have many feminine women in SEA where I find they enrich my life. I believe every man needs a good woman in their life and hence why our ancestors co-existed with women. Today due to Feminism, our women are seriously broken and Feminism has caused a war between men and women to not be able to co-exist together.

        1. PAUL
          As for Asians, they are not as primitive as Cholos or Hoodrats.
          Most retired white men are losers. I think you mean they have nothing “to lose” by moving from the US to Asia.
          Ask yourself if you were the average 65 year old retiree from the US would you rather live in some shitty efficiency apartment that you could afford full of subsidized white trash and blacks who made you feel like Charles Bronson in the Death Wish films or a beach in Asia.
          Oh and by the way, since JOOZE are apparently the ones that are holding all the money and businesses that make money in the US than what, pray tell, makes the average exurb in Missouri or small city in Georgia better than Thailand? What are they producing that is so important? Future porn stars? Whiggers? Oxy addicts (Used to be “tweakers” when I lived in the US but now there is a new “epidemic”)?
          These two groups hands-down come from the most primitive and violent background even if they have been introduced to modern plumbing and subsidized housing. Asians by nature/nurture/whatever are nowhere near as aggressive or feral as Pavement Apes and Barrio Mestizos. Sorry, but the US in particular inherited two of the most primitive and feral populations to ever evolve.
          As for women, even if you want the average middle-class semi-socialized white college graduate you might be lucky to meet in some Sports Bar on Ladies Night you are going to have earn 50 K, not have kids or baggage like that, have prospects, a dick over 7 inches, the latest threads, a house (Which she’ll get in a divorce), the best lines…and maybe, just maybe, you’ll reproduce with her.

        1. LOL. I had a feeling you were Gen-X. Then I read your replies on replies on replies and it’s confirmed. Hi, Gen-X, like your new name you’ve given yourself, very Gen-X inspired, choosing an 80’s villain.

        2. I admire Michael Myers. He is a tall Alpha white male. Shoot 6 times he gets up and walks away. He is strong. He is man of few words.

      3. READER
        “Monkey” Rural white Americans are ALL part Native American because the original British settlers were male and not many white females wanted to be on a boat for 3 months.
        Thai women are not THAT different from Native American women.

    2. MM
      I lived the life you avoided for 30 years, now I’m living the life you chose for as long as I can.

      1. JOHN
        These townies responding to us have never travel 50 kilometers in their entire life.

      2. JOHN
        I’m an economic immigrant. Take it at face value.
        I’d be living worse in Detroit or anywhere else in the US than in my “mud hut” in Asia.
        In terms of medical care, I can afford to fix my teeth in Bangkok. In the US this would $5,000 minimum.
        In terms of danger I’d put Asians in the category of an Irish-American neighborhood in Chicago. There were will be some tough brawlers to avoid when they are drinking. But nothing like the people who live in the US inner-cities.
        Would you rather walk through Harlem at night or Bangkok?

        1. MM
          I’m a political refugee from the UK. Looking for a place where a man can live free from false accusations and an unjust anti-male legal system.

      3. JOHN
        At least I do not have to complain about short guys in Yarmalukes running my life.
        “I cannot strike out on my own because of the Jews.”
        If this is true of the US than why would you live there?

  2. I wonder after he got his shit together after she left, did she try to get back into his life again? Women for the most part can’t bear to see their ex-spouse/boyfriends happy and doing well or better than they are after the split. Women love the idea that their ex can’t live without them. This is why most women will incessantly look at their ex’s FB page or whatever to see what he’s doing with his life.

    1. In addition to the fact women love the idea a man can’t live without them, at the same time they loathe the guys being so needy they can’t live without them. Confused yet?
      The best thing to do is improve yourself so you don’t need women in your life and have them needing you in their miserable lives.

    2. If you are referring to me – yes I was a skinny-fat, miserable workaholic, following the script, and blue pill to the core.
      No she didn’t try and get back together !
      She has someone else and I have been doing ok with women in their 20’s

    3. My ex is blocked from my FB page, along with my former children and anyone who has her on their ‘friends’ list. No need for her to have ANY information about my new life.

      1. I did send her a photo of my new wife (half her age), and a small ‘thank you’ for divorcing me note.

        1. Good for you! If your new wife is even hotter than your ex-wife ever was, that alone would set her off royally. If she remarried, that poor guy would be at the receiving end of it…and he wouldn’t have a clue what happened. If the picture you sent her showed the both of you vacationing in an expensive, exotic resort, that would just eat her up alive.

  3. My fellow American friend married a girl from Down Under some years back, but they mutually announced on Facebook that their relationship was coming to an amicable end when some complications came to the surface. They still live together, and she continues to support him as he pursues a career in filmmaking. Good luck getting a North American woman to do that.

      1. Aborigine women don`t have the sense to come down from the trees let alone do something as complicated as wipe their arse.So the odds are this woman has no aborigine blood.

  4. And people are still wondering why the Whites are dying out.. even if the 3rd word immigration wasn’t a problem we would simply die out on our own from borderline stupidity.

    1. Othmer
      “Dying out”
      1. Drugs. Whites start young. Arabs and Jews and Asians start at 17 the white at 13.
      2. No decent wages to support a family.
      3. Obsessed with media.
      4. Abstract values. Asians don’t care about anything but money. Jews however care.
      5. Less cunning.
      6. Too many white women are slutty young and begin giving blowjobs at 12 and hate men later on in life.
      7. Divorce. Common with Jews as well but Jewish men will support their kids.
      8. Live in geographically irrelevant places. Arabs, Asians, Jews are always in urban capitols and cluster. By dint of population density they get a foothold in some area that matters like London in the UK or California.
      9. Whites are not street smart. They are more like American Indians. Can hunt, trap, fish, jet ski, farm, live off the land. None of which means shit. Put the average white in the downtown of any city vs the average black or Jew or Asian or Arab with the same money. The white will wander around.
      10. White Americans at least come from a Yeoman European peasant cum middle-class background. Arabs and Asians etc come from corrupt civilizations. They understand corruption and subterfuge. Not truth justice the American way. That is not why an Iranian in LA drives a Porche while the Ohio hillbilly OD’s.
      11. Whites have no in-group support systems.
      Basically whites just sort of suck. They do not have the Alpha masculinity and natural testosterone and big dicks and smooth flow of the black. They do not have the cunning of Jews or Arabs. They are not Autistic geniuses like Asians.
      This was fine for settling countries. Australia and American needed practical rugged males who were not that bright or brawny but functioned well as teams in organized endeavors (It is why whites do war better than other races). But when the society became more specialized they were shit-cannot run as fast as black or do math like an Asian or write a script like a Jew.
      So whites like the American Indians have retreated into rural life. Unable to really compete in LA or NYC or Miami with the minorities. Not as ruthless or amoral.
      White Anglos in the US are bred for softness. After all, the US was intended to be a middle-class consumer society. Meanwhile the third world folks are cynical plunderers.
      So the white man takes it up the ass. His sister kneels to fellate blacks. His brother wants to be a woman.
      This is why the tranny thing is popular. The white man is now a bitch.
      He is reduced to jerking off to Jews and blacks in porn and imagining it was his dick.
      What a bitch. A fruit.
      Other races laugh. The Asian respects the Jew as cunning and clever while the Jew respects the Asian as a mindless rapacious treacherous locust and the Arab as canny.
      But the white is just a bitch.

      1. Why was the Peach Bandit banned from commenting yet this closeted homo who is obsessed with black and Jewish dicks and the legendary Jewish Mandingo LOL is allowed to pepper his homo shit on every article without getting banned?

        1. Most popular porno actor among women is James Dean, a typical big d!ck Jew from LA. They love him literally he gets tons if fan emails from white women begging him to slap and choke them.

        2. PEACH
          “Silverback, the Jewingo”
          Like Ron Jeremy or James Deen he is not over 5’6 and his greasy hair is a Jew-Fro that gives him a disheveled look. He is hairy as a monkey and has short rather bow legs.
          His penis is always 9 inches.
          He lives in a condo on the Ocean. Though his father was a New York diamond cutter or bill collector or Math teacher he moved to LA and wrote a script that made him “an industry player” or became a porn star.
          So he cruises down the Malibu highway in a Sports Car high on cocaine with a blonde sucking on his face.
          Though more often he is gay although many more women would sleep with him than the average Red State hick or exurban white who wears a cowboy hat.
          His job is to form the opinions of hickish inhabitants of the US interior on Jet Skis by drinking some Tequila and doing some lines and then writing an awful sequel to some Hollywood franchise or however he is a cog in the media machine.
          As a result of his subsidization of BET or rap artists every pallid Midwestern Anglo stands around in a jersey on the streets of his Oxy ravaged city telling people he is a “Playa”. In imitation of his black heroes whom Silverback the Jewdingo has placed on a pulpit of sorts this young “Playa” Eminem clone has a “baby’s mother”.
          Tyrone Da Bone be the black Mandingo. Unlike Silverback his grasp of supply/demand and marketing is less abstract as befits an IQ of 95. He responds to such direct stimuli as bitches, ho’s, Po-lice, powder (Or rock), cheeze, pimps, Gat, snitch.
          The local white girls adore his height and masculinity and of course his junk as long and black as a police night stick. He barely notices them, although two white bitches who be wid his kid now collect welfare. He is impossible to track by social services or any other form of bureaucracy invented by Europeans because he moves from “Crib” to “crib” where his “Peeps” let him “kick it”.

        3. GUEST
          So Dean is or was a heroin addict and he is a porn star who does some really homo-erotic borderline gay shit like inserting his penis in a woman’s anus at the same time as some other guy.
          Winehouse was a crack whore.
          Do they blame Methodists?

        4. PEACH BANDIT
          “Silverback the Jewdingo’s Badassss Song”
          He lives in LA or NYC. He is not working a teenager’s job as a Barista when he is 45. He understand money. He is untroubled by such abstractions as “pro-choice” or “creationism”.
          He sells what people will buy and he knows what this is.
          He is not banging on the doors of strangers with religious pamphlets in his hand pleading with them to believe that Moses handed out Torah on the mountain or something like that.
          He drives a Sports car down an Ocean Highway. Some hot blonde is feeding him coke through a golden spoon.
          Mexicans will not take HIS job. You’d have to have an IQ of 112 to do it.
          His city is not pleading for Fed money like a Dindu.
          He does not much care about the U.S. or patriotism and his money in an offshore bank or in Switzerland where it cannot be loaned out like that of the rube in the Flyover.
          His drug of choice is expensive champagne and the finest cocaine or the dankest weed. He is not OD’ing on Oxy beside an abandoned steel mill.
          He might be a gay or perhaps a bachelor but either way nobody has to chase his ass for child support and lock him up in jail for 30 days and garnish his wages.
          He does not plead for better public schools because his kids are being pummeled by blacks or taught the finer points of rolling a joint by Cholos in the 6th grade as they attend private schools.
          Even if his kids are stupid some scraps of this expensive education cling to them while the public schools of many exurb cities and rural towns will be filled with geniuses who amount to jailbirds because black kids stuck their head in the toilet all day.
          Do think he gives a shit if the US turns into a “Third World Country”? He is not going to be the last white stuck in Atlanta with no skills to get out. He’s got that house on the French Riviera and the Swiss bank account.
          So that is the Silverback the Jewdingo’s badasssss song.

      2. “Unable to really compete in LA or NYC”
        LOL
        The Asians and Jews in urban areas who have 1 child at age 35/40? LOL
        Whites in the Midwest are propping up the entire White birthrate. In the Midwest, you’ll see families with 3+ kids and the women have them young.
        Those Asian And Jewish mothers all focus on their educations and careers and maybe push put one Autistic preemie at 35. You really think some Jewish or Asian woman working at Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs is going to have a child let alone a large family? LOL

        1. PEACH BANDIT
          “Propping up the birthrate”
          A Missouri woman of limited income means has 3 children. One joins the military and gets a degree and becomes a productive member of society. One is just a manual laborer with limited skills. One becomes addicted to Meth and Oxy and spends life in jail.

      3. Yes, because the Asians or Iranians or whatever mud race that comes to America is completely representative of their race back home? LOL
        America takes the cream of the crop. You know why all those Chinese grad students who come here seem so darn smart? Because they were the top 1% from their class at Peking University or Tsingua University. They are literally the top 1% of the top 1% of the top 1%.
        Same with Indians. For every 10,000 that come to the U.S., there are 10 million dumb ones back home.

      4. “They are not Autistic geniuses like Asians.”
        Is that why literally everything was invented by, discovered by, or penned by a White man?
        See “Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950” by Charles Murray
        What have even the Japanese contributed in the way of culture or civilization? A painting of an octopus eating a woman’s pussy? LOL
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream_of_the_Fisherman%27s_Wife

        1. THE PEACH
          Well the American from “Old Colonial” stock sure fell by the wayside in the US as Jews, Asian-Americans, Indians roared past him.
          These folks are towards the top of the food chain on either coast while the Red State American shuffles around South of Dixie or Southern Indiana somewhere acting like Eminem.

        2. PEACH
          If I had to chose between being the average Jap in Hawaii or some hickster in Missouri in a drafty wooden house on the plains it is would be a difficult decision.

        3. MM
          If I had to choose between the average Japanese woman and the average redneck woman ……. not a hard choice.

      5. And as far as mudskins driving sports cars goes, you seem to think rednecks in the Midwest are driving around in broken down beaters when in fact most seem to be driving lifted F-350’s that run close to $100k. But keep living in your fantasy world of Jewish mandingos and super intelligent and super fecund Asian Americans LOLZ

      6. It’s quite odd how you think Whites in rural areas are losing out. When I drive through rural areas, I see a big yard, two pickups parked in the driveway, a trailer or camper or mobile home, and a huge pool. Meanwhile, those genius Jews are being stacked like cord wood in their teeny Manhattan apartments or paying $1.5 mil for 1 story crack shack bungalow in Mountain View or Vancouver. Who’s really the idiot?

        1. Thank you for pointing that out. I am from Detroit and never had the money as a kid to travel through the US.
          But we must ask ourselves WHY the cities with Jews and Asians living in the are a) on the coast b) best-known around the world c) dictate financial and cultural terms to the US interior d) have a higher GDP than the interior.
          Also, why are rural whites pissed off if things are so great. Why aren’t Jews and Asians pissed off?

      7. jews can’t write script better, Whites are the creative and jews have simply “chosen” to leech off Whites because (((they))) know that Whites are more capable of genius.

        1. jews are not as creative as Whites. A White writes a good book and jews turn it into an inferior propaganda movie. jews are a race of nothing-burgers. Fuck a Weinstein, befriend a Hoffman, get adopted by Woody, ect. are all tickets to the top. If talent was the measure Whites would dominate, this is an undeniable fact. All jews can do is attack you and not the facts, as Commander Rockwell said.

        2. GREEN KNIGHT
          And why are Jews “at the top?”. What does that say about Anglo-Saxons in the US that Woody Allen came make some movie about himself, playing himself not very well as a pervert who cannot get laid and then his is a millionaire? Is everyone buying tickets to his films that a Jew?
          Weinstein jerks off into potted plants. And this guy runs Hollywood. And has millions.
          And what is the average Gentile? He lives in some drafty wood house on a two-lane road worried that his job will go to China or a Beaner will take it. He sits on the public bus hoping that Hoodrats won’t chimp out on him.
          Who is the loser?
          Which state is pleading for Fed money. California? NYC? Or some Red State full of Anglos who wait all day to get into some shitty sequel Weinstein made with Affleck in a superhero costume! featuring a bunch of bad actresses who now accuse him of raping their plant?

        3. JOHN
          Clearly a man who breaks into actresses apartments to have his way with their plant is fellow in the throes of a serious sexual obsession…the man is such a dirty bastard if you have him over for drinks he will try to mount your fern plant in the corner.

  5. Good article, and I’m liking the fair and balanced commentary so far as well. There’s been too many saboteurs lately with this 2nd rate comment system.

  6. Firstly glad to hear you are doing well with your financial and fitness goals.
    Couple bits of advice I think other men here will give as well:
    “So how have I fared after my divorce? Aside from trying to marry a couple of completely unsuitable women (future article perhaps), I am happier. ”
    Don’t marry any woman ever again there’s no reason for you to do so! This is White Knight thinking IMO. If you do an ironclad “pre-numptual” agreement would be in order but rather make women more for your pleasure than their security. . There’s no reason to give any future women any clain to your loyalty or money..
    “It was basically a successful marriage with only the last three years being toxic. I threw myself into work and study, getting out of debt and investing for the future but in truth I had become an ogre, unbalanced and obsessive.”
    Don’t be so hard on yourself as the sole bread winner and provider you were doing your job and worried about the future. Was to wife even aware of the preassure you faced? Bet not. I’m married to a clueless housewife, has no idea how money and how the real world works, so I speak from epxerience. But I have a feeling you’re not the main cause of this divorce. She might have been cheating on you. They’re all capable of it. This may have been planned well in advance. Were the kids nearly grown up? Found a “new” boyfriend magically after you split? Convenient timing? Who knows?
    The State media, all govenment institutions, almost all women are trying to blame men, especially white ones, for all of societie’s ills, but really it’s the other way around. these skanks and degenerates are to blame. Don’t play along and don’t be afraid to play hardball with the ex wife etc if need be..
    Good luck!

  7. Divorce is often worse than death. It’s one thing when 2 people lose interest in each other and split amicably but many times it’s not that simple. It’s nice when you don’t have a huge legal mess that is unfair to one or both parties for the sake of attorney profits. But the emotional impact is quite often felt for the rest of one’s life. My grandma never really got over it. She just learned to live with it. Refusing to speak to my grandfather for 10 years.

    1. As I had mentioned in one of my previous posts, most women can’t just split and let you go about your life. Most women need to see your life destroyed, in tatters…basically worse off than they are. Women feed off the emotion of envy. They crave others to be envious of them. That is what gives them satisfaction.
      An example is how women love expensive things. Having them make other women who do not have those things envious. They dress provocatively to gain male attention to make other women envious of them. Women hit on married men or other women’s boyfriends to make the other women envious. Ever wonder why if a guy is single with no girlfriend is often passed by most women, while a guy with a woman is pursued by other women? The primary reason a woman hits on a married man is not that she wants the guy, but to make his woman jealous. Once that relationship is destroyed, both women dumps the guy.

      1. Actually, while it’s true women will hit on married men it’s not to make other women jealous it’s because they find them more attractive and it’s a thrill sexually to lure a Nan from another woman particularly a married one. Women want men who have wives and GFs

  8. Remember Roosh’s maxim: women take the shape of the container you put them in. It is the man’s duty to BECOME an alpha male. Many interpret this as nice guys finish last but i can tell you, the best sex with the most beautiful and devoted women are the ones who believe you are both strong and kind. They will bang douches but they don’t stay! Never, ever allow any woman to control the drama level of your personal and work space!!!! This is key so get a second residence to avoid it. Allow this and your family is doomed. The person who is willing to leave the relationship first has the power; make sure that it is YOU — as with wolf pack dynamics, things work best with a strong male in charge. However the reality is, most men are idiots with no game. If an 8-10 woman does not feel safe, protected and supported monetarily and emotionally by you, WHY should she stay? It is easy to blame many corrosive things in pop culture and there is great merit to this, but focus on it exclusively is no different than SJWs who blame the “white patriarchy” for the fact that they can’t get a job at Starbucks. The best book ever written on this topic is “The Professional Bachelor” by Brett Tate, including the 10 psycho personalities of women and an entire chapter on asset protection in marriage and divorce. Either you will be cucked ny the state… or you will cuck it. It is a zero sum game; make sure you are on the winning side — https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Bachelor-Exploit-Inner-Psycho-ebook/dp/B007LD3NI0

  9. The best strategy I’ve seen is Terrence Popp. His videos are on YouTube and a few other places.
    Step1. Join Alocholics Anonymous Gambling Anonymous. Attend a few meetings so you can talk about them convincingly.
    Step2. Start quarreling assets, your guns, boat, motorcycle, tools, books, anything you have of value.
    Step3. Go into court with the minimum you have to. You’re probably going to lose the house and kids.
    Step4. Show the judge the AA and GA cards and say it’s all gone. I have an alcohol and gambling problem, the assets are all gone.
    Step5. Keep your mouth shut. The grinder you’re going into is already running. You can only make it worse.

    1. Best strategy IMHO, liquidize all the assets you can, get a new passport, move to another country with all you can take and don’t participate in the divorce at all. Let her keep the house and children, never see her or them again.
      It destroys all the vindictive satisfaction that they achieve through the divorce process, and ruins the rest of their life. What women want is to see you wriggle, squirm, plead.

  10. Why marrying again?
    You have done your duty with passing on your Genes in your nice 3 White kids.
    You will miss out on sitting with your old lady next to the fireplace while your grandkids pounce around you, but there is no point in substituting with another old hag, one whom you have met when she was already an old hag.
    Fuck some young girls instead, for love or for money, who cares? The younger and tighter the better.

  11. GCES – you are correct – she had someone lined up. It doesn’t matter now we’ve both moved on and I’m a better man for it.
    When I have to see her about the kids I feel nothing, no emotions. she is their mother and that’s it.
    It takes a while to undo half a century of faulty programming let me tell you !
    I think there is too much self-flagellation on this site – it’s not helpful.
    Your subconscious will believe anything you feed it – that’s how we got into this shit.
    I never thought I’d be able to date millennial women at my age until I read a couple of articles and decided to go for it

  12. i refuse to enter any legally binding contract with
    the government, and the female acting as the agent.

  13. JEW REFRAIN
    Do you know how sad it is that one race in America has to sit around and obsess about how some group of short people that look like Ron Jeremy are cock-blocking their entire life?
    In summation I have heard posters here claim they cannot “strike out on their own” because of short people with funny hats.
    At least Jewish junkies like Winehouse or Deen are not blaming Methodists when they shoot up heroin in some Brooklyn crack house.
    My heart sinks that the descendants of gritty British Naval Officers who settled North America are now snorting Oxy in Missouri small cities and their sister is a mud shark with a Mulatto kid and it is because they watched some bad actresses on television who were hired by some Jew who “had his way” with their potted plant.
    I mean this is sad.

    By your own admission you have not travelled America. There are many patriotic Americans living across this country living incredible lives. They aren’t obsessed with Jews, blacks, Hispanics or anyone else. They want to live in peace with their spouse and children. It is the urban dweller who encroaches on their joy through public education, media and entertainment. They may not be the tech billionaire you seem to admire, but they are building your cars, your communication and power generating infrastructure, growing ALL of your food and delivering energy to the pump each and every day. Without them, tech would be useless. Meanwhile, they have to navigate the sexual marketplace your favorite people have created. One in which the women are all whores and the men have to play the clown to get a sniff. Isn’t progress great?

  15. I hate to defend marriage in the USA as not too bad, but the author claims that Australian divorce is better. It sounds similar to the British system and google what happened to John Cleese and how he was so badly divorce raped, that he had to go on a comedy tour just to survive after his wife for a few years took nearly his whole lifetime fortune.
    Disclosure: I’m married for 13 years and have traveled the USA, have friends who are married and divorced, and was dating a divorce attorney for 3 years. These are my observations which can be taken with a grain of salt but I hope are useful to those here.
    First off: The USA divorce system is different in each state. Some are better than others AND some judges are better than others. So some judges are jerks while others are more fair. It’s not uncommon for women in the states to think that they’re going to go the divorce jackpot route and wind up with nothing. I have three colleagues who got primary custody of the kids because they did their homework and showed their wives were slackers. They had their wife working and not staying at home all the time (after they had small kids raised to pre-school age, of course) so they didn’t pay alimony either. It wasn’t that bad for them. It wasn’t FAIR, of course, but it wasn’t as awful as what this guy claims he went through in a superior system according to him.
    2) Lawyers are like auto mechanics: When you find a good one, treasure them for the gems they are. It’s surprising that law schools emphasize creative thinking in their placement tests and curriculum but overall, in practice, most have the creativity of a DMV clerk. Most are overpriced and uncreative, or both. I found the best legal advice online from lawyers working for $40 for a half hour.
    So my point is that some men decide not to fight a divorce case because their lawyer is lazy or too costly. But men who do fight often do quite well and, ironically, this leads to feminists making the disingenuous argument: “Well, most men choose not to fight so the court system is fair!” (which is actually the opposite, actually) and “And those that do fight often win, so the system is fair!” (meaning that only the most determined men do their homework, but the feminists shrieking about how the courts are “unfair” to women (when men fight and win) illustrates that it IS possible.
    Finally:
    3) The court system’s sexism against men is mostly due to 1st wave feminism of about a century or more ago when the suffragist types claimed that men were leaving jobless women on the street. Although a few egalitarian feminists fought for fairer courts, it’s mostly thanks to the 1970’s era MRA’s for doing something about the problem.
    OK, and
    4) Many women are now subject to treatment like men where their husbands lose their jobs and the men demand alimony or liberated women date boytoy eye candy and divorce them and worry about paying alimony. I’ve seen this myself. Or two lesbians divorce. So the courts are not egalitarian (they’re still a shitfest of corruption) but I’d say that the Australian system, as the author describes, probably is not as “good” as the USA system.
    Summary:
    1) Don’t take my word for this. Find resources online that do more than say “The system is unfair!” but rather “here’s how to BEAT the system!” There are some excellent books out there by family law attorneys. Read them.
    2) If you do your homework and “set her up” (get her to say on tape she’s divorcing for money, or that she doesn’t like taking care of kids, etc.) and get witnesses and arrest records (I know two men who documented DUI’s of their exes), you can win the thing. It shocks them when you do. Play on their arrogance.
    3) Lawyer shop. A lot. In the very least, you can pull a Tony Soprano who in one episode went to every lawyer in town for a consultation just to deny them to his wife for counsel.
    4) Don’t give up. It’s easy to be a victim.
    Take care.

  16. I’m kind of disappointed how this article aims at conceding to the powers and bowing to the divorce rape establishment. That in itself is the problem. For a man to ‘accept’ that at any moment his wife can basically file kill papers on him, throw him out of the house that he built and extort blood money from him as she screws the garbage man on the bed he bought. I’m sorry I’m stopping right there.
    The fact is that he concedes to a corrupt system. DAMNIT Trump didn’t concede did he?? ROY MOORE isn’t conceding to the defrauded ‘special’ election is he??
    We are reminded about Trump grabbing her by the pussy and MAGA and the wall, but really the biggest precident he set was to deny cronie bogus authority and to never concede to its edicts or verdicts.
    The divorce rape industry must come down with a crash and men in numbers must stand up in family courts and call out the bogus anti western, feminazi scheme to destroy civilization. Stand up and deny the divorce court’s authority simple. 60% divorce rape is still rape. They know the true fickle nature of the female at any age and they know they’re playing with a shoe-in to their scheme with a predictably feeble female who can’t plan one generation into the future versus a man who predictably stands down to their kangaroo court authority. So men quit being so damn predictable.
    Trump set the stage. He expects Roy Moore all the way down to you and me to do our parts as citizens to NEVER CONCEDE to corruption. Rebuke the corruption and the bogus cons like the divorce rape cabal that threatens the core of our civilization.
    Don’t take a divorce summons with your tail between your legs – rip it up and refust it. Never concede to corruption. How many men are one hair away from making that declaration and leap? How can you sit smug in your home knowing that any day you can come home to find F.U. walking papers that evict you from your own home?
    Divorce attorneys are predators that compete in the yellow pages. “We can win you more” the ads claim. It’s not about fairness – it’s about ‘winning’. Women go into consultations seeing pictures of Farraris and Caribbean vacations in the law office – all the great things this lawyer can WIN for her if she does her business there. And being smacked with a surprise divorce charge is nothing more than a con game – IF YOU BUY IT. It is not true or certain like Mr Death knocking at your door. It’s all a con from a destructive corrupt cabal whose time has come to be called out and rejected wholesale.
    Golfer’s clap to Trump for simply refusing to concede to the Hildabeast. And the result is that he’s now the sitting and acting president. Can you believe it? He’s no sheep. Are we sheep? Are YOU a sheep? “Baaaaah”?? Naah?
    Meanwhile my wife knows I’ll never concede to divorce rape industry bullshit and if she ever EVER pulls that shit on me . . I won’t go out nicely whatsoever. So we just finished a cozy game of Parcheesi and did a 1000 pc puzzle. Then she danced naked and blew me. Life is good when you never concede.

  17. The OP’s comments about Australian law mirror what seems to be going on in most US states now; Blanket 50/50 “custody”, a new child support model, spousal maintenance that is temporary but still an annoyance. Your divorce sounds much like my recent divorce was. I tend to feel like I got out pretty nicely with all of my assets, home, 50/50 parenting time, 100% of my retirement, and about 1/3 of my net pay going to temporary alimony (after my retirement contributions). The best you can do is cut expenses and refinance and you will end up coming out about where you were when you were living with a toxic bitch vampire who offered you nothing in return. I could have fought her for zero maintenance but it would have dragged the case out and would have just cost more anyway if I got a judge that cut everything right down the middle. It was best to just settle with the maintenance payments and nothing else.
    Enjoy your new life without her. Focus on your health and well-being, fitness, appreciate your free time and your time with your children. You will find that you are in a much better place now that she is gone. My ex is trying to drag me back into a “fake family” and it’s not working. Hold your ground and build your life again. Continue to spend time with your children and let them know how much you love them, and you will succeed.
    Other men; Do not marry now. It’s not impossible to make it work but the price is far too high and the women are so low quality today that it’s just not worth it.
