I was shocked when she said she believed in the one drop rule since that was something racists said back in the day to imply people who even had black parents weren’t “pure”. It was disgusting then and even more so now.

So true. I’ve seen the same can’t tell you how it warms my heart he wants to be part of her life. I hope it’s genuine and he isn’t using her for a paycheck. I wish people would stop using children as accesories or weapons.

When I look at any picture of Nahla with her father, their affection towards each other is so genuine. Children are so guileless and really pick up on a person’s love and sense of peace. Nahla is truly a daddy’s girl.

Halle should be thankful that the father of her child wants to be a part of her life as much as possible. I was never so lucky. My biological father abandoned my mother before I was born and I didn’t have a father until I was 5 years old when my mother met and married a wonderful and loving man. Even though I had an amazing father who I will always refer to as “daddy”, the psychological affects of that initial abandonment are very real in my life.

I hope Gabriel uses whatever means possible to be an active presence in his daughter’s life, even if it means making sacrifices with his career and personal relationships. I don’t know if Halle will do the same.

Halle is the one who brought the media into the case, thinking that the public would be sympathetic. She has a victim mentality. She claims that all of her splits with men/husbands were the fault of the ex. She takes no responsibility for her actions. This is the same woman who ran away from a car accident she caused, otherwise known as “hit and run”. It is indicative of someone who is childish and self-centered. Halle also needs to be reminded that she is half wh.te. Her claims of victimization by Aubry because she is “6lack” do not ring true. Also, using the 1% theory with her daughter is crazy. Race as a weapon against the father?

Her daughter has lighter skin coloring than my children who are mixed race but not “6lack”. My kids have green eyes, brown skin and light brown curly hair. But since they’re European, they are wh.te. 1%, my a&&!

@ Bing. I agree with you. Family Court is not about justice. It’s a place where judges wait out their time until they can move up in their career. It’s a place where a lot of money is made by attorneys, court ordered shrinks, evaluators (shrinks), social services, etc, etc. There are a lot of behind the door deals. The bank accounts and assets of parents are destroyed and the kids are traumatized by mandated schedules. I would advise couples with children to a) reconsider splitting. b) stay out of court. Draw up an agreement with your ex. It may be contentious but it will save all parties money and grief.

@tforce: Agreed. And if you are familiar with family law, you also know that he who has the best attorney wins. Dragging this out in court will ream Aubry’s ability to earn his usual wages. You are also correct that in the end, the children lose. It’s exactly why I decided not to pursue support when granted full custody by the court, after years of paying alimony and support to my ex-husband on a 50/50 share.

I paid alimony and child support to my ex-husband on a 50/50 custody share for two children. The court is is gender neutral when it comes to support calculations. Halle should be admonished by the court for her frivolous claims against Aubry. As this case drags on, it will cost hundreds and hundreds of thousands if not millions. Been there.

It amazes me that some people will twist the truth, deny and/or co-mingle the facts, pull stuff out of thin air just to try to get their misguided points across.
From what we’ve all seen, GA does not need to plant any stories about Halle being unstable. She does all that all by herself. She plants stories about him, but because she is blinded by hate, spite and vengeance, they usually backfire and instead of injuring his public perception, show her to be a total jealous, hateful, vicious nut-job.
Just like this littel gem you just planted, that he now wants ’50K a month’. I wonder where you’ve read that? In what court documents? Or are you just part of her inner circle, and one of those ‘sources’ who specifically troll the net and plant crap like that in hopes it will gain tracking on the web, and thus turn from fantasy into reality in peoples’ minds?

Totally agree with above posters that you must be living in a fantasy land if you think courts, especially FAMILY COURTS, are for justince not revenge.

@ ‘Neither Halle nor Gabriel when they were together seem to live a lifestyle where they spend 40,000 dollars per month on their child’.
One has nothing to do with the other. Child support is not the figure you are expected to ‘spend on’ the child when in your care. It is a figure you expect to spend on everything in your life, i.e. mortgage for a bigger house than you’d need just for yourself; food and clothing expenses that you’d incur because of the child as opposed to just if you lived by yourself; vacation, travel, fun expenses you’d accumulate to provide the child with the same lifestyle the other parent does/could do, as opposed to what you’d spend if you were by yourself.
Since the child is from a two-household family, the level of lifestyle of the ‘better of’ is parent always the watermark for the expectation of equal lifestyle in the other parent’s care.
None of it means that Gabriel, or any other parent asking for an increase in child support, expects to spend that amount on the child per se. It is to be spent to ensure the child the care, safety, and lifestyle comparable to the ones provided by the ‘primary’ caregiver.
But on top of that, lets be honest, if Gabriel was the richer one and Halle the ‘poorer’ (yeah, it sounds funny in relation to their levels of income, but factually that’s how it is) she’d be FRICKING LIVING AT THE COURT she’d be there so often asking for constant increases in support, just to make his life even more miserable. That’s her psycho MO, and I have completely no sympathy for her.
