ParticipantGuys, take it easy. I’ve been on the receiving end of a divorce and while the judge didn’t grant alimony the child support I paid was deserved – by the kids. Men get emotionally attached to the $$$ in a divorce because we often derive our self worth through the size of our….salary (get your heads out of the gutter), but the truth of the matter is most men just start a whole new life while the women carry the baggage (kids) for a long time. Not saying it’s fair financially, but let’s be completely honest here…we are far better off after the divorce than the women are. This is coming from a guy who shelled out over $60K in child support (I got off easy as my income was low at the time). She never went in for a readjustment when I started making more, but my ex also worked.
Marion, what skillset do you have? What degree(s)? How are you marketing yourself and how open are you to working outside of your area of expertise?

Guest“Men get emotionally attached to the $$$ in a divorce because we often derive our self worth through the size of our….salary (get your heads out of the gutter)”
Hehehe. Knowing men,”salary” would be a close second… Let’s be honest here.
Moving on, I have a bachelors and a Masters in Educational Psychology and a credential authorizing me to work as a school psychologist. I perform as a psychologist in the schools, minus the in-depth psychotherapy.
Other than that, my skills are limited. I was a stay-at-home mom during my 10-year marriage. Before that, I worked here in there in customer service and receptionist positions. However, I am now working as a substitute teacher, so I have experience in that. I cannot work as a full-time teacher (don’t want to either) as you need a regular education teaching credential for that.
In the education profession, there is a national database that posts open positions. I would say 99% of the positions in education are posted there. I have my resume and credentials posted there and whenever a position opens up, I am able to apply online.

November 28, 2007 at 12:42 PM #104494GuestChild support is ok, even though we know most of the cash doesn’t go to the kids. My good friend pays $1k per month in child support for a 5 year old. This, of course, is in addition to the $3,500/month in alimony he pays. Does a 5 year old really consume $1k per month in goods/services etc? Ironically his ex-wife’s name is Marion too! LMAO.
Take your questions elsewhere Marion. Now back to our regularly scheduled Real Estate bashing……..
