Judge Leaves Former NFL Star Tim McKyer Penniless
with Two Kids to Support
Two time All-Pro cornerback
Tim McKyer played
on three Super Bowl champions during his distinguished,
12-year NFL career. However, everything that he had worked
so hard to earn was taken away in a divorce by a judge who
reminded McKyer
that "[your money] is no longer your money--it's mine."
While giving McKyer's ex-wife the house and almost all of
the family's assets, the family court, oddly enough, gave
him custody of his two children, ages seven and five. McKyer
says:
"I'm grateful that I have my children, particularly when so
many fathers don't. But it's insane that they give me my
children and then take away everything I've earned and leave
me without a way to support them."
Armed with the power to seize in an instant the savings and
property earned over decades of labor, family courts are
notorious for destroying fathers economically.
McKyer will t old
his story on His Side with
Glenn Sacks on
November 9. Also
joining Glenn
was
family law attorney
Jeff Leving, author
of Fathers' Rights:
Hard-hitting and Fair Advice for Every Father Involved in a
Custody Dispute, and New York shared parenting advocate
David Friedman.
To learn more about the ways family courts punish fathers
economically, see Glenn's columns
Divorced from Reality on Child Support (Newark
Star-Ledger, 9/6/02) and
Tennessee Appellate Court Sends Message: Second Families
Count (Memphis Commercial Appeal, 8/23/02). Also,
see Tim McKyer's favorite Glenn Sacks column,
Can Abolishing Sole Custody Curb Divorce? (New York
Sun, 10/2/02). All three columns were co-authored by
Dianna Thompson of the
National Family Justice Association (NFJA).
