Thanks Jeff, Australia has a no fault divorce system. You have to have been seperated 12 months before you can apply for a divorce. I have asked W to start looking into division of assets as I cannot afford to pay 1/2 our mortgage, my rent and other bills I've inherited. I figure that if she wants the single life she can pay for it. Australia makes it easy for single mums, at the moment she gets $500 a week of the government plus what I give her for child support plus any mortgage payment I give her. I earn $500 and have been giving her $210 leaving %290 to pay rent, credit cards, bike payments and food/petrol.
Recently found a site over here called dadsindistress that supports fathers that cannot get custody. Site says that 5 males suicide a day in australia. The fathers in these broken marriages are treated like second class citizens by falmily law and Child Support Agency. Things are slowly changing but too slowly for some. Looking at there forum it seems to me that there are a lot of bitter men out there. Maybe the should all look at this site and try DBing.
Thanks again Jeff, good luck in your sitch and good luck to all DBers.
