Thanks for your support, Pandora, Bewildered and Allieh. I strongly suspect the poster is my husband or a friend of his which would explain the anger in the post. The fact is that I was the one who found him his well-paid cushy job for an international company in Istanbul. It was me who paid the immigration fees and the flights required to meet immigration requirements for applying for a spouse and he was required to pay only 200 lira ( approx $150 CDN) in alimony monthly so it was a pittance. And when he was refused a visa, it was him who admitted it was a visa scam and started the divorce. It was him who lied to court saying he was unemployed in order to avoid payments. As for me being rich - that's a joke. My pension is gone due to his scam and i'm this close to being on welfare. So to Alimony - go blow it out your ear or other suitable orifice.
