1 Tissue and angst level of only 2..It's early days..
What goes around comes around. Another fine example of feminist judicial manipulation that was originally intended to just screw all Fathers...Ahhh...the irony. Feminism is for the equality of misery of both sexes..

Mom Sings the Non-Custodial BluesHere's a woman writing a letter to a legal advice column (Boston Herald, 3/15/09).
It seems her husband told a divorce court she threatened him and their child. The court gave him temporary custody and required her to pay child support. While the divorce case was still pending, her mother in Brazil got sick, so she quit her job to go care for her. She asked the court for a continuance, but the trial proceeded without her. Her husband got custody and she got cited for contempt for falling behind on her child support. Her child support order was not modified to reflect her lack of employment.
Sound familiar? It should; it happens every day in one way or another, mostly to men, since they're 84% of non-custodial parents. Shouldn't the court at least listen to her argument that she can't pay because she's got a sick mother? It doesn't sound like a strong case for support modification to me, but still, it's a real-world problem for her.
And that's what I'm getting at; non-custodial parents live in the real world. Sometimes it seems that family court judges don't.

I love it when justice is served. Regardless of gender.
Good post.
Could have been titled, "Bitch gets served same shit stew feminists serve to men and didn't like it."
Of course, articles like that don't run in the mainstream newspaper since it isn't rubbing salt on wounds of men by men hating lesbians.
Tough luck for the woman in this story she's got a taste of equality and what it is like to be a man in family court and didn't like it.
