How to annoy your ex-wife ...

This may seem like a pointless topic ... however, most (I use this loosely) separated and divorced people do not want to continue to endure the wrath of their ex. Some walk on egg shells around the other, others unintentionally annoy ... and then there are the ones that do things to raise the blood pressure of their ex so high that you can actually see the steam escaping from their ears.

Here is my example ... by the way the bonehead is real, the incidents are real ... and I have no idea why I am proctecting their identity but here it goes. These are sure fire ways to annoy your ex however it is highly advised that you avoid them at all costs because ... karma can hurt like no body's business.

Picture the ex-hubby who cries proverty to the court, he has no money, living off the kindness of others so the judge takes pity and lowers substantially his support obligations ... forward 4 months ... poverty boy gets job and then avoids going back to (his scheduled date) court because he knows it will cost him more ... forward 8 months ... poverty boy takes 5 (yes that says 5) international vacations returns to court to announce poverty again because he has been fired from the new job (perhaps the 5 vacations had something to do with it?)... court takes pity again and says ok you don't have to pay for all the things you put in writing that you said you would pay for, for your kids ... forward 3 weeks (yes that says weeks) ...the incredible bonehead announces (remember he is unemployed) that he has bought a new home, a new car (one for the girlfriend too), is leaving for a couple weeks to go to Italy and then announces he has bought a diamond ring for the girlfriend and they are getting married.

Now to be clear ... the ex-wife only cares about one thing ... how can you cry poverty and plead to the court that you can't afford your kids when you can afford all that? Oh wait ... you can't afford your kids BECAUSE you bought all that. This behaviour is a guarantee to annoy your ex ... bottom line ... if you have kids ... they come first no ifs, ands, or buts.
