Today, I had my final divorce proceeding. The judge denied my divorce because my husband is unemployed. I can't get a divorce until he gets a job to pay child support. He hasn't had a job for 3 years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex-husband stopped paying his child support so when I phoned to threaten him with lawyers, he didn’t care. Apparently, he lost his job months ago and has been paying me out of his savings, but now he has absolutely nothing left I can take away from him. Now I feel bad. FML
Today, it's been a few years since after I married my soulmate, and two years since he found he had a daughter with his ex. The last two years have been spent in custody court. Our savings are drained by support payments, and our own pregnancy plans are on indefinite hold. I can’t take much more. I want a divorce. FML
Today, I got divorced. In a 4 minute 40 second phone call with the judge, which ended with him saying, "Congratulations!" I didn't want this. I just didn't see the point in fighting to stay in a marriage that my ex didn't want. Now my underlying depression is worse, and I have to fake it for the sake of our kids. FML
Today, via legal bollocks, I got nothing from my husband in the divorce, even though he cheated on me. On my wage, I can’t afford to live in this area anymore, so I have to move and quit my job to get another job wherever I end up moving. This is why people hate lawyers. FML
Today, I won my custody battle. I wish I could be happy about it, but it strained my current marriage so badly that now I'm going through my second divorce. FML
Today, my wife somehow convinced a judge to force me to pay child support for a child that isn’t mine. I recently discovered our son was the result of an affair and not biologically mine, so I divorced her, but the judge is forcing me to keep supporting them financially. FML
Today, a judge ruled against me. I filed for divorce because my wife got pregnant even though I had a vasectomy. Apparently, not informing your spouse of a vasectomy is worse than cheating in the eyes of the court. FML
Today, I told my husband I wanted a divorce. He told me he didn't. End of discussion. FML
Today, the court is unable to allow me to divorce my wife because she is pregnant with our child. I have to wait until AFTER the baby is born, so that she is born inside of a marriage and not be an "illegitimate child." I was planning to move out of our house to go live with my high school sweetheart this weekend. FML
Today, my father told me to "go get a job." He has been unemployed for three years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't know much about divorce proceedings but I am guessing this doesn't normally happen, so I would recommend maybe trying to get another judge for the case? Just a suggestion, don't know if it will help.

I'm calling bullshit. Unless you have some backwards ass hick for a judge, he shouldn't give two ***** about bankrupting your already jobless husband for that child support money.

You do realize not all people get divorced because they were 15, prego and in Vegas or something incredible retarded reason such as that right? My aunt and her husband had two children, loved each other, and when they married eachother they were both responsible adults. However, because they (just like all of us) meet new people all the time, everyday, for the rest of their life, he found someone else he connected with more and feel in love with her more. These two had been married for over 20 years. They were over 20 when they got married and were both financially stable. I have heard such a story told before by others. Sometimes the spark just 'goes away' regardless of what you try to do to prevent it. Other times a person, due to a tragedy or another situation, changes so much that they find they can no longer connect with their husband/wife. If divorce was outlawed than it would mean these people who are in fact responsible would have to suffer for the mistakes of those who are not. That wasn't fair in grade school and it isn't fair now.

Fake. This is fake as it gets. First of all, you can't be denied divorce. Seriously, I've seen my fair share of them. And second, I'm guessing you're going to fight for custody over the children? That's pretty much the only way you'll get child support, and even then, you might not get it, since he doesn't have a job. They can suspend his license if he doesn't pay, too. If you're feeling mean enough to take him for everything he's got.
