This simply means that the courts have, again in many jurisdictions, figured out a way to get blood out of a turnip.

Thus, if you have three kids, by three different women, each child would be entitled to up to fifty percent of your income--depending upon which woman got to the courts first--without the same legal attention being paid to visitation enforcement.

Now do you understand why child support is such a 'hot button' issue? It's easy for the politicians, custodial parents, the courts, and the Mainstream press to beat the drum on the monies collected.

Why deal with reality, when the other side does not have the resources to defend themselves? The reason why some people were 'upset' with O.J. Simpson during the 'trial of the century'--he had the cash to go toe-to-toe with a well-financed government legal machine.

Many non-custodial parents don't have such financial resources available to get visitation rights enforced--and the government knows this fact well.

SISTERHOOD ENDS AT THE ALTAR AND THE COURTHOUSE DOOR:

However, against the backdrop of doom and gloom, many men have been Blessed with second marriages.

Their 'formers'; those women who either forced them out; threw them out, or walked out on them, cannot get over the fact that another woman would find 'treasure' where she saw 'trash'.

We owe an untold debt of gratitude to those women who have 'stepped up to the plate' to become our wives after we have failed the first time in marriage.

They have taken our names, and have suffered much pain watching some of us who 'do the right thing' in paying child support--but never getting the law to wake up and enforce visitation rights for our children.

Don't think that your present wife hasn't seen you torn up over this matter.

If they could, they would negotiate a truce between our 'formers', for the good of the children--both of the present, and the past and us.

However, there are some women out there who don't want what is good for the children.

You have remarried, and remarried for the better. All they want to do is try to 'keep the pot stirred'.

In short; sisterhood ends at the altar, as your 'former' cannot believe that another woman would marry you. In her view, this 'sistah' must 'short' in the brain department; all the while your visitation rights are being trampled.
