  • Wait? You're paying in CASH!!

    00:00 I guess the best way to describe paying Child Support, or paying alimony, well, to quote a line from the Avatar song, The Dirt I’m Buried In, is “An unknown destination, tied up in the trunk of a stolen ride.”   

    4:08 Our Episode Question: What would you pay to accomplice whatever you wanted or needed twice a month – if not more? That’s right, brothers. When that cat is away, the mice will play.

    4:20 We’ll start with Alimony, spousal support, or maintenance, whatever you want to call it

    7:52 Why was there opposition to no-fault divorce in New York State?

    10:38 Types of Alimony:

    11:47 Is alimony fair? It depends on who you ask

    15:00 So, what do you think? Is anyone out there defrauding the system? It’s okay to laugh.

    18:20 Are modern-day lawyers to blame for this nightmare? No, not entirely. We in modern society are

    21:21 His kids lied about the abuse story, and he did jail time

    23:15 The name child support is self-explanatory.

    26:19 I was told, “You can pay her, or you can pay me,” by some attorneys

    27:35 My Ex and I never speak, and I haven’t seen her face in years. If you get one thing from this show, it is that blissful miracles do happen. So, hang in there, Daddy; you’ve got this.

    35:27 Everything happens for a reason. You can’t change the past; you can’t change what happened, so figure out how to make it work for you.

    35:47 Now, how much Child Support is too much? Well, let’s ask Braveheart himself, Mel Gibson,

    35:52 If you feel that your Ex is misusing child support funds

    39:50 The 2015 Walter Scott Case

    40:40 Another story of warning

    44:50 Don’t confuse being in your children’s lives with the demands your Ex makes. Kids need their dads.

    46:13 This is the very bright light at the end of the Child Support Tunnel.

    48:29 It’s not an overnight thought process, but you, Mel, and I have nothing to complain about.

  • Honey, why are the Cops Here?

    The police are at your door, and you don't know why; welcome to the wonderful world of Artifice Accusations of Domestic Violence or AADV. That's only one fun fact about false accusations; you don't know you're a monster until a wall of blue looks at you like, well, you get it.

    On today's show,

    00:00 I came home to an empty house. Our relationship was over, but I never suspected my wife would steal everything we owned and leave without saying a word.

    03:52 Welcome to the wonderful world of AADV -FUN FACT

    06:05: Remain calm, or you’re probably going to jail. A guy kills ex’s boyfriend in front of my house

    08:09 How to keep from getting a boot up your…

    09:56 If you don’t know the local laws, it’s probably best to speak to an attorney

    11:47 So, what is an order of protection?

    16:26 Unfortunately, fate has chosen us accountable to pay for the DV perpetrator’s sins

    18:09 My order of protection said the following:

    19:04 Now we come to the Soul-Searching part.

    20:03 My child ended up in the ER

    24:22 And for a split second, I felt I could bring my wife back from the abyss.

    30:10 Before I left NYC, I sent my children the following email.

    35:17 Did she forget we kept weapons next to the bed, or was she legitimately trying to perform murder by cop?

    37:04 One huge mistake I made

    39:13: When life gave me a lemon, I said the hell with a glass. I’m making an international

    lemonade franchise.

  • Episode 0: Why we need WDNC

    0:00 Intro On today’s show, Chuck will discuss what the Why Daddy Never Cries Podcast is all about and why its importance is paramount in the survival of everyone’s family. Song by The Crazy Spoonheads, “Ghost of a Child.”

    02:13 What if you could help save approximately 200,000 children and, subsequently, their children, plus add 80,000 battle-tested warriors to your ranks?

    03:01 Unfortunately, burying your once soulmate seems to be the standard operating procedure in the 11-billion-dollar/year Family Court-Divorce legal system. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/divorce-statistics/

    04:10 There came a time when I knew and accepted that my relationship with my wife, the mother of my beautiful children, was over. Although what happened next was straight-up Keyser Soze (BLEEP)

    05:22 I didn’t grow up in a home plagued by domestic violence. Although, as a child, this was interesting

    07:21 Most domestic batterers showed a consistent pattern of violence and manipulation for power and control. Power and control over an individual  https://www.justice.gov/ovw/domestic-violence, and most of us can’t fight this battle effectively while we’re in the middle.

    09:02 Unfortunately: These violent abusers are real, and websites showing DV are everywhere. The men depicted in these videos are P.O.S.

    14:04 If two people engage in yelling, do you really think a person needs to spend 3-months in a domestic violence shelter to protect their children? The National Domestic Violence Hotline, a 24/7/365 resource available to help people escape DV situations https://www.thehotline.org/

    15:50 National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse https://fatherhood.gov/

    19:04 Dad’s Caucus https://gomez.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2737

    20:20 Unfortunately, there is one type of DV that is not only frequently ignored. It’s actually encouraged and supported by some in today’s divorce proceedings – Artifice Accusations of Domestic Violence or AADV   ** Remember one critical point: AADV pertains to innocent people **

    23:25 How come we’re going insane? Because Artifice Accusations of Domestic Violence pop into all your life’s memorable events, and it never seems to end.

    26:29 Every new teacher, new school, new friend’s parent, new extra school activity, whatever involves your kid, will bring fresh judgmental eyes – NO WORRIES, WE’RE STRONGER THAN THAT! Do not take childhood experiences away from your children!

    27:51 Another salt-in-the-wound technique the kid’s school would use was having the school psychologist sit next to their mother at all kids’ school events.

    31:30 AADV is used mainly during divorce proceedings by one partner against the other to gain control of the children and their schedules. Gaining control over an individual. Yet, right now, I hear people asking who would lie about being abused.

    36:46 I first understood how to constructively use my fatherhood abyss by telling segments of my story to other Down Daddies and some quick stats
