Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
When my daughter finally convinced him it was over, before he pulled out of the driveway, he called Legal Aid thus causing a 'conflict of interest' knowing since she had 2 small sons at home and no job, she could not afford a lawyer. Then my husband went to put up the money for her divorce, my daughter and I went through town and every lawyer we talked to her ex had already spoken to them causing more 'conflict of interests.' We finally found one lawyer (by accident) who took the case. She promised my daughter that she would help her. All this woman wanted was our money. My daughter was 'forced' to sign the 'Mediation' paper and came out getting only $125 dollars a month in child support for each child. The 6 months before her divorce went through, my husband (not her father) had to financially take care of them. Her ex sent nothing, didn't call to see how his sons were doing, or anything. He left the courtroom that day with a huge smile on his face. Hasn't seen his sons since. POS.
