A reminder of why we encourage men to Go Their Own Way.
This is but a small selection of married men who were screwed by the divorce courts so much they took their own lives:

Of particular note is Darren White, who committed suicide by hanging. He was falsely accused by his ex with three separate domestic violence allegations - note that this was some 20 years ago, and women were already able to cry 'domestic violence' to gain the sympathy of the court and to have the man evicted.
He had no place to stay, was sentenced to pay child support and alimony at more than his income and had just enough money left to buy a length of new rope with which he hung himself.
Darren White was facing three separate domestic violence allegations, all apparently false, had to appear in eight different court hearings during the space of last week (Family Court, Court of Queens Bench and B.C. Superior Court), was ordered to pay $2,070 in child support (half of that is alimony to his ex who had left him, took the children and denied him child visitations), and was given two days to vacate his home. He had nothing left to live on. Darrin was on a disability allowance, and the judge ignored that Darrin had the obligation to pay $438/month in child support for the child of his first family.
The following is a letter written by Darrin White's daughter Ashlee.
I am writing on behalf of Darrin Bruce White. I am the oldest of his four children.
My name is Ashlee A D Barnett-White.
I am angry at the justice system and Maddy White ( my step mother ).
No one would listen to my father , no one would give him a chance to speak.
In this century everyone hears the woman and not the man , this is a very sexist matter that needs to be dealt with.
My dad was an abused husband, he was abused by his wife, and the justice system.
My dad was a very good father and wanted the best for all four of his children , his children at this time are 14, 10, 9, and 5.
All of us children were his life.
He wanted everything he could possibly give to his children and what he couldn't.
The most important thing he gave his children were his love, and being there for them.
He loved all of his kids equally, and with all his heart.
He was a kind man who fought a good fight but no matter what he did or said, he could never win with this system.
Things need to change for all fathers going through this same thing.
We need to help, too many kids go without a father because of this , too many kids are hurt.
My dad would never hurt anyone.
He was strong, caring and tried to help as much as he could.
Now Maddy is trying to keep away from the people that really loved him, were he was born and raised, and were his family lives.
I know in my heart this is wrong and somebody has to do something.
My grandfather and my uncle are out in Prince George at this very time fighting for him.
And for his rights.
Please help bring my daddy home were he belongs, and were he would like to be.
I know deep down in my heart if you help we will win , and help every other father out there without his rights.
I may be 14 but I know where he belongs, and so do you.
Please bring my daddy home.
Sincerely with thought,
Ashlee A D Barnett-White .
