Paltrow’s new cookbook contains more than 125 of her favorite recipes that are “surprisingly tasty, with little or no sugar, fat, or gluten”.

Not callous — just unfortunately accurate. Violence in the middle east tends to be underreported because most Americans (completely unfairly) think of that region of the world as one constant blood bath so they tune it out. Things that make us feel unsafe or at risk (shootings and bombings in seemingly genteel

You should avoid the whole Times Square area anyway. It sucks.

n/m I was wrong

It’s in her contract that she’s forbidden to break her contract? I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works.

Also not how it generally works.

Yeah I get the legal part but I just mean if custodial parent spends $100 on clothes and then is given $50 in child support, that is basically a refund on money they had to put down out of pocket. So they’re however much money in the hole because this douche declined to pay his child support and what he pays out

I’m not confusing them, I’m drawing a deliberate distinction.

Oh, sorry I didn’t realize that, in the absence of child support, the kids are the ones who pay for their clothes/rent/education. In that case, yes, they are definitely the ones who should be reimbursed.

I don’t think they get paid on clicks.

That’s true but I take it he was talking about the back pay he owes them. Regardless, I was speaking to what should be the case and what technically is, rather than what it is legally described as.

Luckily I’m not a lawyer so I can shoot my mouth off in the comment section!

Didn’t anyone ever tell you that you’re supposed to start criticism with a compliment?

Minimum wage pays better. Freelance writing and work at McDonalds.

That may be from the court’s perspective. But they are paid for the child to the custodial parent. So what he wasn’t paying, the mothers were covering out of pocket. If he was paying on time they would be the child’s payment — when he’s this far behind, he’s paying back the mothers.

This is a wonderfully written piece with a rather glaring error: you don’t owe your kids money, you owe it to the women who relied on their own income to clothe, house, and educate the children you love.

It’s really unfortunate that that line is going to draw so much attention. She has a lot of popular support over this — all the lawyer has to do to maintain it is not be a jackass.

You’re right, I’m disappointed in myself. I usually have a much better retention for things said by Paul Rudd
