so basically, before getting divorced make sure you can afford it.

I don't have much to add to the stay/go, but I don't agree with that bolded part at all. I do free things with my kids regularly and honestly some of those things are awesome! We go for walks, bike rides and just generally hang out. I take them to festivals and things like Beakerhead, picnics and fishing or hikes and these things are either free or near free. Being a fun dad isn't about spending money, it's about spending time and putting a little effort into those relationships.
