Would you leave ALL of your family and ALL of your friends and move from an urban city to a country county just to take a better paying job?

My husband was divorced about 5 years ago, and now his ex-wife is pressuring him to give her more child support for their 2 children. She is remarried and was allowed to stay in a house with a lot of equity, that he basically gave to her. We have been consistently giving her as much as we possibly can, but rents are high in California and we had to get rid of a car in order to make it. She says if they go to court they will take your rent, income, debt and other expenses into consideration. Is that true, because I went on one of those calculators and it said we would have to pay $1350.00 per month, and we just can't afford that. Any advice on how to keep the courts out of it, or what should we expect.

My dad just got married again and I don't really like my new step-mom. She is really controlling, fusses about everything, and is lazy. I know that my dad is somewhat happy, but when I went over there the other day, he was threatening to call off the wedding. I really dislike her, but want to respect her for my dad's sake, and want it in return from her too. What do I do?

let's face it: I'm ugly; i have pesky facial hair; i'm chubby; and my breasts are large and sag (i'm only 18).
The only thing in this world that's going for me is that I'm smart, mature, and goal-oriented. That's great for my academic and career ambitions, but in terms of a love-life, I am stuck with men even WORSE than me. Who, in their right mind, would go for me? These problems get worst since my family and friends think I'm someone worth it and would be devasted to find out that only equally ugly trolls would reluctantly go for this pre-maturely sagging hag.
Everyone around me is happy and in relationships, and I feel as if this is not a posibility for me, ever. This is a case where great personalities could never overcome a horrid outside appearance.

I am not physically abused by my husband. We have 2 great kids ages 5 and 7 who absolutely adore their dad. Problem is, my husband is a slacker. He misses days of work and might lose this great job b/c "his tooth hurts". I asked him if he thinks his job might be in jeapordy and he says "i don't know" I blew up at him this morning !! (in front of the kids) I am tired of his supremely lazy attitude towards life. He doesn't "take charge" as head of house and father , if I want to buy a home I have to do ALL the research and calls etc, I even got him his last job b/c I sent his resume out!! He is too laid back and when its nice weather he NEVER wants to do anything and tells me if I want to do something I should plan it. I pretty much hate his guts for being a lazy slob and DREAM of just me and the kids living our fun life but they love him and I'm afraid they'll be so hurt. By the way, we've been 2gether 11 years, I'VE ALREADY tried the 'talking to him', it DOESNT work. Thanks all

I have a 5 year old daughter with a man other than my husband. I have never asked anything from her biological father who is in her life and spends time with her, but should I have him pay child support for her? If so should I ask for back support as I haven't been with him since she was 1 year old?

We will be getting married in Monterey, CA int he old historic district. We came across these bikes called surreys last time we were down there....

My idea is to have each couple in the bridal party (3 girls, 3 guys) and me and my groom ride in to the reception on the surreys as an interesting way to introduce ourselves as the married couple...

The reception is in an old walled in adobe garden and we would enter in through the large wrough iron gates. Thoughts? Fun? Stupid?

I'm from the South and am part Creole, therefore I want to carry on the tradition of the Money Dance. Because many couples couldn't afford to take a honeymoon, it's commonly believed that guests would basically "pay" to dance with the bride and groom. This is not the case. A guest could dance with the bride or groom without giving them cash, but a donation to be pinned to her veil or his lapel was greatly appreciated.
To make things a bit less tacky, I'm the only one who gets paid for the dance, and I will be holding a money purse for the collection. Plus, I ultimately don't find the tradition to be tacky at all based on my family. Some members will only attend out of familial obligation, because not showing up would put them in a bad light with those that are mutually close to the bride/groom and the mentioned family member. And even if I managed to get every member of my family to come, maybe 10-20% would actually bring a gift!

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the length of time child custody case in Ohio can be drawn out? Is there some kind of statute that limits cases that are not making significant progress and provides a deadline for a decision to be made? Thanks!

i just came across a question from some guy who was cheated on by his wife. he was asking why all women are cheating liars. the women who responded to the question stood up for women, but the men tended to agree with the statement, saying women are all sneaky and should never be trusted!!!
i don't know about you, but i would never dream of cheating, under ANY circumstances. doesn't matter who i'm with!! above all, it's against my morals.

so what about guys? would you cheat? does it depend on how much you like/love your partner? would you stop yourself out of morals?

My wife and I are both invited to her good friend's 30th bday party in NY City. We'll have to fly there ($700 +) and can only be there a couple days because we just took a week off work for a vacation. Money is a little tight with the recent vacation. It's supposed to be a really great party.

Should we both go and not worry about the money?

Should she go alone without me which saves half the money (but I'm left out)?

Should neither of us go (and celebrate with the friend when we see her next time)?

My husband was on board with me to adopt my 3 month old nephew who was almost killed by his parents. Then all of a sudden he tells me he wants a divorce and that he doesn't want to raise a child with me. Am I wrong for not giving up the baby and trying to make it work with my husband? He says it has nothing to do with the baby, but he never mentioned divorce until after the notion of adopting the baby came to reality. Please help me!

So I known this girl for over a year. She's a close friend now. about a month ago was her graduation. she had 9 tickets and invited her friends and family but not me. it turned out only 6 people could make it and she had 3 extra tickets. she did not think to invite me. I practically had to beg(i questioned her about what's she is going to do with the extra tickets). finally, she invited me to her graduation the day before. She invited all her friends months before. I feel that I'm at the bottom of her list of friends. This happened about a month ago. Is it too late to confront her about this? I thought the hurt would go away but it didnt. I'm said she didnt invite me until the last minute. What should I do. SHould i bring this up to her? If so, how should I approach it? Please help
