Honor your sons and daughters

This is the 4th Divorce Commandment

Honor your sons and daughters: fatherhood is a blessing. Nurture,protect and financially support your children. Thy progeny shall under no circumstances be used as a political football, despite such antics by other parties. Looking back in 20 years all that will matter to you from this sordid chapter is how you treated the kids, and how they came out of it.

Tips For Divorced Dads

Although both men and women can face a difficult period of transition following the break-up of a marriage, men often have a more difficult time reorganizing their lives after divorce. Because women typically retain custody of the children and residence of the marital home, men face the dual challenge of adjusting to their new parental role and making a new home. Here are some helpful tips to make the transition to a new home easier for you and your children:
Ensure that child has their own space in your home
Sleeping on a sofa/floor or in an open area is not conducive to having your child feel stable in your home. For teen girls, make sure there are little mini containers in the bathroom for her personal affects.

Invite your children to help with decorating their room.
Your child can pick paint colors, posters, and toys to decorate the room. If you keep a second set of their favorite items, clothes, toys, games, etc. it eliminates the drama of forgotten toys and clothes while transferring from mom's place to dad's place. It will help your child to feel secure and make visits less traumatic.


Leather Love is a good thing

Your preference for leather works well with children because it is a great fabric that is easily cleaned of minor spills. Leather furnishings create a comfortable masculine space and your child can bring their favorite pet for the weekend because leather does not collect pet hair.

Scrutinize your home for items that may be a danger to your children

Look around your home; is it clean and comfortable? Take an inventory of items that may be issue- glass tables, sharp edges on furniture, cleaning supplies under the cabinet, stairs without a stair guard, etc. If you have toddlers, crawl around on the floor to see what they see at their eye level.

Make sure you have photographs of your children

If you have remarried and have children with your new wife, make sure there are photographs of all your children. For dads handy with a computer, use your children pictures to create the screensaver on your home computer. It’s a nice touch; and if you are not computer literate, you can ask your child to do it. They will enjoy the task and appreciate the attention from dad.

Ensure that your children have space to do homework.
Even if you are living in a small space, make sure there is a desk or area for the child to work. Sign up for your child’s’ school newsletter to stay involved in their activities. Most schools have online sites, so check out the school calendar.

Has any wealthy man ever won a divorce case?

I have been searching for a while and have not found the case of a wealthy man winning his divorce in a courtroom, and in the court of public opinion. I keep searching..............But so far the roster doesn't look good for the next man with money in divorce court.

Has any wealthy man ever won his divorce case?
>> Not Charlie Sheen (porn, violence, hookers, drugs). Their toddlers are in therapy. Price Tag $25 million

>> Not Paul McCartney (drugs, alcohol, violence). Price Tag $47.5 million cash plus. He lost custody of their toddler, and will go down in history as the Doormat Beatle. He will also have to pay $70,000 a year in alimony for the couple’s four-year-old daughter, as well as school and nanny fees.

>> Not Greg Norman (adulterer trying to squeeze his wife dry - cutting off her credit cards, changing the locks on their $21 million Jupiter, Fla., home and firing her housekeeper. wife stealer) Price Tag $103 million

>> Not Jude Law (Sleeping with the nanny) Price Tag $$Everything. The 33-year-old said he "lost everything" after splitting from the brunette in 2003. Sadie won the couple's plush £2 million London home. She also netted a reputed £4 million payment and £15,000 a month, according to The Sun. "I lost everything in order to get the right to visit my children. My bank account is therefore almost always empty,"

>> Not Bill Murray (drug-addicted spousal abuser and serial adulterer who abandoned his family). Price tag $ 7 million cash plus

>> Not Hulk Hogan (found out his wife was divorcing him from a reporter). STBX wife sleeping with a 19 year old. Price tag TBD


>> Not Peter Cook (sex-obsessed, two-timing narcissist weeping on the stand while confessing his sexual shenanigans, which included spending 3,000 dollars a month on Internet pornography and masturbating live for a cyber audience via Web Cam ) Price Tag: Lost custody of his child.

>> Not Michael Jordan (adultery, gambling, paternity tests) Price tag $168 Million cash plus

Marriage is about love; divorce is about money! When it is time for divorce women own the " I AM A VICTIM" hat and men with money are ATMs.

First Commandment of Divorce

Thou shalt not be naïve.
Pre-divorce planning is an art of war practiced by women. Do not underestimate potential for deception and treachery when lots of money and a spurned woman are involved. Heartsick men are Labradors, but a lioness has long canines and retractable claws. If divorce papers are in hand it's probably too late to cover your Ass or your assets.
