Wow. Another exhibit from the house of horrors that is our family court system. And the girl I'm seeing wonders why I'm so adamant about never getting married.

1. and if the wife did the same - she would have been applauded

4. You mean if she hid his kids from him for 14 years? nt

2. This post illustrates a classic case of confirmation bias. nt

3. He sure showed her.

Let's see, half of 2.5M divided by 14 = $89,250 per year. So I guess there are a couple of ways of looking at this.

5. "speaking from the office of his lawyer, Michael Malloy"

Naaww - it couldn't be

6. You shouldn't marry her if you're planning to be dishonest,

or if you think she could be.

8. I'm not.

I don't want to get married or serious and neither does she. Both of us have made this clear to the other on several occasions.

7. Interesting bias you are showing there...

"alleged"?

I think the girl you are seeing would be smart to move on.

9. Well, I guess HE told 'em

10. What a dumbass.

Either he values money above all else in life, or he just really hates the ex-wife. Either way, he's a fool. I bet he's a Republican, too.
