Make less money or try to "hide" money to punish my former wife and children because I made a bad decision? That is totally illogical to me. There is always two sides to every story.
When I got divorced I voluntarily paid a lot more to my former wife and picked up all of the expenses for my children way beyond what any court would have required. I paid off the house, her car and all of her bills, left her with everything in the house except my personal stuff, and gave her half of our investments.
She was gainfully employed, a professor at a college, and made a good salary but I didn't want my children to have to experience a change in their standard of living just because their mother and I decided we didn't want to live together any longer. It sure as hell wasn't their fault. It took a couple of years but I recovered just fine.
Glad I gave you a moment to get on the soap box...but that comment was more joke than anything else.
