That’s sad part of it.. In divorce cases.. no one will be with you to understand and support if you are male.. only divorced male can understand the pain.SAPPORO wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 9:43 am Not even a passing mention of him on Rippling's web site - the guy is stuck having to pay almost 10 C monthly based on tech valuation that can lose 80-90% anytime and won't be able to keep up the payments. Maybe Dhivya wants a lumpsum instead since I believe one-time alimony is not taxed in India!
Why's the TN police only demanding 25L to get his friend released from a USD billionaire, did they do their homework?!
( it’s fictional image , however summarizes the situation) …
Even men in US go through similar problem. My ex-boss (white) was living with his wife, 1 kid and a dog in a big 4 bed SFH in South Bay. This was in the 90s. After few years went through a divorce. The wife got half of his money and he was forced to sell the house. She went and bought another house in Livermore and probably living with a new boyfriend. The guy had to move into an apartment with his GF. I think he was paying alimony and child support to his ex-wife.SemiRetire wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 11:27 am Not only in men in India. It’s same story with Indian men in US especially if they have assets in India.
In the US, a large chunk of money is made by lawyers. In most cases, t's probably the largest chunk since even the alimony stops once the recipient gets married again. My friend spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers and thankfully the ex, remarried in a short time.old-spice2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 11:41 amEven men in US go through similar problem.

Another common friend told me - John (not real name) was poor, became rich during dot com boom and then became poor after divorce.
That is one reason why males in US are afraid to commit to a marriage. Rich ones go for pre-nup.
True but I do not understand or see the value in staying in so called relationship by compromising and adjusting especially when YOLOSAPPORO wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 12:15 pmIn the US, a large chunk of money is made by lawyers.

Maybe the FIRE movement would keep more marriages intact since the one sure thing that's going to throw it off is a divorce.
Agreed for toxic relationships - I was talking about "I don't love you anymore" or "Why did you not pay this bill?" reasons.SemiRetire wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 1:40 pmTrue but I do not understand or see the value in staying in so called relationship by compromising and adjusting especially when YOLOSAPPORO wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 12:15 pm
