Mens' Advocacy Group?
Does anyone know of a mens' advocacy group out there that's working on changing divorce laws around the nation? I recently divorced and got absolutely screwed! I'd like to find a group working this issue. Things have gone way too far in favor of the woman with divorce.

Should divorce her now and pay her very little to almost nothing or can I stay with her for 5 more years pay her a little more. If I divorce her now, can she come back for more money later?
Also, what if, I crash in a remote island in the Pacific, and I'm stranded there for 5 years. Then swim out to open waters and get picked up by a freighter, and brought back here. Do I get back pay? if my wife gets the life insurance money, do I have to pay that back? What about taxes, who pays that?
Things to consider when going to work at Fedex.

I'm sure there's someone out there that is paying alimony.
My situation 20 yrs married. She has not worked for 10 yrs.
No kids.

Friend of a crew bus driver
I’ve got a buddy, who has a friend, that knows a crew bus driver. He heard pilot divorce story where the bread winner was about to get violated via divorce court. 4A2b slashed his NB CA pay substantially leaving the former bride and her atty flat footed, confused, and no back stage passes to “easy street”. Couple yrs pass, economy returns as well as his ex and atty for round # deuce. Naturally, he’s WB CA now and stakes are even higher. Luckily, depending upon perspective, WB CA went out on a Med for 9mos. Quickly burned thru all sick hrs and on to short term disability, dramatically reducing his income. Needless to say, the ex and her atty didn’t walk away w the judgement they hoped for. gold diggers don’t always find gold at the end of the rainbow.
