Dave Foley was threatened with 6 months in jail if he didn't come up with $500,000.00 to pay his ex wife. On top of that, they'd add 30 days for every month that he didn't come up with the money along with the money that'd accrue each month while he was in jail (he is supposed to pay something like $17,500.00 per month).

So basically, they wanted to lock him up for 6 months if he couldn't come up with $500,000.00. If he was locked up for 6 months, he'd continue to owe that $500,000.00 plus about $17,500.00 for each of the 6 months that he was in jail. For each month he was in jail that he couldn't come up with the money, they'd add another 30 days to his sentence.

I'm Canadian and will likely never get married. >_> I can't even really live with a woman because after.. I don't know, is it six months? You're considered common law and iirc that's basically the same thing as far as the law is concerned.

I just don't get it. They preach equality every day, but if the relationship goes sour you're on the hook for them for the entire rest of your life. Regardless if they have a better degree, career, if they start new relationships or remarry, etc. That's ass backwards as hell. People wouldn't feel trapped after getting married if you could just have a clean break.

Obviously having kids is another thing entirely and you need to support them, but you shouldn't have to support a grown ass human adult.

I read up on it more and it says he was a wealthy actor who had child support payments in arrears, and refused to provide proof of income to lower his payments which he says he can't afford.

Sad that the MGTOW crowd is spinning this into some "all women are evil and marriage is a scam" thing

@GameboyTroy

You can adopt or have a surrogant donate an egg if you really want to have children.

If a couple lives together a certain period of time some places they are considered married, common law marriage still allows a woman to take your shit some places so you dont want to put yourself at risk by living with a woman your dating for too long or you will get fucked over.

That's true, but what he should have done is make adjustments to their lifestyle, especially their kid's lifestyle over that year so that he could argue that the extravagances where self-inflicted. Like take them out of private school, etc. If he knew the kids weren't coming with him he should have planned accordingly. He didn't, and now he's paying the price.

What's really fucked up is that they let the ex-wife keep the standard of living despite his steep drop in income. Even more so that she's continued to rack up this debt on the assumption that he would be able to pay it back. That's just irresponsible.

You really should not decide to reproduce. The future of humanity is fucked. Bringing a child into this shitty world is the most terrible thing you could do.

Well if you want to take that risk and likely get screwed over big time knowing the facts that is your choice. A lot of men have to learn the hard way, just remember when your losing half your shit down the road that many other men have been in your shoes and lots of other men will be after you.

This is all on Dave Foley. Firstly he agreed upon the amount.

Instead of going to court and requesting a temporary reduction on the amount of Child Support owed due to losing his job. He simply just stopped paying altogether. Stupid. Unless you're dead you don't just stop a court appointed payment.

Then later he wants the support amount owed to be reflective of his new income amount. But refuses to provide proof of exactly how much he makes to support his claims.

Stop using this as "Marriage is the devil" because this guy did this to himself.
