Daytrading & Divorce.....

Let me provide a great example of how child support payments are a trader's biggest challenge. There are literally hundreds of former pit traders in Chicago who could not make the transition from the pit to the screen - and try as they might they couldn't get their child support reduced. Or by the time the three year income averaging kicked in enough to help they were already hopelessly in arrears for huge amounts. And back child support owed never gets reduced. Plenty of them are bankrupt and owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support. And if they get a job managing a jewelry store or servicing mortgages at a Chase Bank branch that paycheck is going to get garnished. Someone told me that State DMV's won't issue you a Drivers License if you are in arrears for child support. It's a Federal law that States have to pursue delinquent child support for other States. It's worse than the IRS - at least they'll work with you. In Illinois, children of divorce actually have more rights and benefits than children from intact families. Illinois State Law requires an ex-spouse to pay for College and expenses until the child reaches 25 years of age - it's actually considered child support. There is no such law for children of intact families.

good example.

I think this song sums it up.

Especially this part of the song ::

"See, when you get through
Staring that judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss
The whole human race"

No, it's a hell of a lot worse than a trade. You can manage a trade position on a regulated exchange. You simply cannot "manage" or control a crazy greedy delusional spouse and the US Family Court System. It is designed to tear apart family relationships, alienate children against parent, and redistribute assets to the legal counsel community. The billed legal fees in US Family Courts are far greater than those of the Civil Courts and the Criminal Courts - that's a fact.

Note the section on why pre-nups might be worthless - especially if you have children or the wealthier spouse violates the pre-nup conditions like infidelity or substance abuse.

Marriage is a serious business. Don't do it to you ready.

I'm more then ready but the real question is "what is the benefits to marriage that I can't get from dating/cohabiting with a girl?"

Sounds like crab mentality to me with all the people telling me I need to get married.
 
All what I read here confirms again that the US is not a country I want to live in. It's rather a nightmare then a dream. At least for 50% of the people who marry as they divorce afterwards.
