Why don’t men have rights in divorce? This seems completely lopsided in favor of women!! I recently got divorced, she got the kids, the house, child support, alimony for 6 yrs, $20,000 QDRO award, I have to pay for health insurance and 50% of all medical bills even though I get no say in what is done, and to top it all of the kids being 18 and 12 don’t have to come and visit me if they don’t want to!! Which they don’t!! All of this is ok with the legal system and by golly boy don’t you dare even think of being late with a support payment or we’ll throw you in jail and seize all your assets!!! She is living the life of Reilly while I’m having to work 40+ hours of overtime every month just to keep from going bankrupt!!! The only plus for me; I got to keep my most of my pension.This is insane and I can’t believe this is the way our courts operate during the days of women’s liberation and equal rights!!!! Where are our mens rights?

I have been waiting for a decision from a judge in Lincoln County for 6 months. How long can this judge take to render a decision in my divorce case? Is the closing on Fridays going to make it even longer. What recouse do I have. My attorney is not very effective, and does not answer my questions.
