Alimony? Where's the money, honey? PDF Print E-mail

Alimony is the one of the most serious problems men face. Most of the times these alimonies are just passed without verifying proper earnings / earning capabilities of the paying spouse (mostly men) as well as receiving spouse (mostly women). This leads to a lot of problems.
Since in most of the cases, women are the receivers and men at the receiving end, spuriously awarded alimonies act a great motivator for women to file for divorce and break marriages at a sneeze and men have to keep suffering in a bad marriage and do not file for divorce fearing alimonies. The system, especially the judiciary needs to be thoroughly sensitized on its views regarding marital woes of men and needs to take into consideration their problems as well while deciding alimonies.
Reeling under recession, divorced techies are marching to court  saying they can't afford to pay ex-wives the same amount anymore
--------------------------------------------------------
Recession has brought divorced techies to the courts once again. And  no, it's not about another divorce.  Techie husbands, who were legally divorced sometime back, are now  seeking help from the court to reduce the maintenance amount or  alimony, they are paying estranged wives.
IT sector
Susan Samuel, an advocate said, "These days I have been getting many  calls by divorced spouses, especially from the IT sector, asking for  legal guidance. They want to know whether the maintenance fee can be  reduced. I have a few cases with me where I am trying to get the  maintenance amount reduced." 
Arun Kumar (name changed on request), who is working with IBM, said  that he got divorced sometime back and was asked by the court to pay  Rs 10,000 as maintenance fee for his two sons.  Heavy burden  "Earlier, my salary was around Rs 35,000 but due to the recession, my  salary has been reduced to Rs 20,000. Now I have stopped paying the  maintenance fee, as I am unable to pay such the huge amount – I have   to take care of my parents and myself with the money I am getting. I  am seeking legal help to see if it can be reduced," he added. 
Prashanth (name changed), was working with a BPO and lost his job. He  said, "I was paying an alimony of Rs 7,000 per month very  promptly as  directed by the court until recently. There was no problem whatsover,  but now it has become very difficult for me to pay the money as I  have lost my job. I want to take legal help to sort out this problem  and have approached a lawyer."  No petitions Ujwala, another advocate who deals with the family court said, "There  are a few people who want to file petitions to reduce the alimony.  The ratio is three out of ten. With the market being down, and now,  the salaries cut, divorced husbands are unable to pay the money. We  have to just wait and watch whether the court entertains such demands  or not," she added.

We have already seen hundreds of such examples where a gold-digger woman entices a wealthy man and then makes his life
miserable so that he is compelled to settle it at a hefty price. The gold-digger is out again in search of another prey.
The bittles lead singer Sir Paul McCartney's case is a classic example. There numerous such cases with athletes,
football players..........the list is really long.

In the name of the child's future the bad wives always steal husband's hard earned money and does not even allow the
father to meet the child. If it is all about the child's future, then she should relinquish her rights on the child and
give it to the father.

Guys

I think my wife beats up all the records set for her gold-digging zeal
and avarice.

My wife declared to
authorities who decide her alimony that she earns Rs. 20 per annum (less than what beggar usually earns in a
day)

With that declaration, she sucks my
finances dry. Her declaration costs
me 40,000 per month in direct
visibleand another 20-30,000 in invisible stings.

I cried hoarse and shrieked and dodged flying paperweights to force
the authority to investigate her. It took them two freakin years but they did look below her skirt.

They uncovered
the business in which her name was there and it was earning Rs. 3.3 crores per annum

Sneak A Peek

Men’s Rights – Perspiration or Inspiration?

As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"

Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.

Follow Yourself; Not Tradition

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc. by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.

And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.

To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
