    Thefed is checking in! Long time no see! Divorces, kids, new business update

    Update: almost hit $1mil in sales in the bounce house business last year! Bad news, my new partner and I had a 'divorce' of sorts and split the company geographically. This year, we'll be back around $450k, but my work load is 25% of what it was before...so that's a win! Kids are still mine...

    A family trust set-up with minors as beneficiaries, owning s-corp shares

    I had someone mention in the recent past tell me that it'd be advantageous to set-up a family trust with my minor children as beneficiaries. I don't fully understand what will happen tax-wise, and will be meeting with an accountant soon, but was wondering if anyone here has any input. I...

    Has the Lebron James frenzy taken over tv in other parts of the country?

    I cant watch anything here in Cleveland without seeing Lebron ads, commercials, teasers and stories. ESPN is now discussing Lebron and Lebron only for the last 2 hours. Is it like this everywhere else...or am I in a bubble here in OH? Many of you know I was/am an avid Cavs fan and really lived...

    So it's been a while since I've been on the boards...a long while! Some of you may remember all the trials and tribulations I was going thru...namely a dirty divorce and custody battle...the start-up of a new company...some rehabbing houses. Well, here's the low-down for anyone who cares! The...

    I'm still learning...but having my boys with me is so amazing. I'm becoming a much better person...more humble...sometimes more patient. I love watching them grow, learn, mess up, develop, love, forgive...all of it. I'm so happy and proud to be a dad...I don't see how anyone could walk away...

    Looking for a computer lock...but not like you think. A PHYSICAL lock for a desktop

    If any of you have followed (or give a $#@), I now have my 3 boys 4-5 days/week! One thing I'm limited on is space...so my desktop computer hasnt been hooked up yet because of the ability of my 1 year old to get into and destroy everything. I have a nice glass desk in the living room and want...

    Making my old PC into a whole-house DVR and media center?

    I'd really like to build a DVR / Media Center out of an old PC I have no real use for. It's a DELL DIMENSION E521 with the specs listed below. My goal is to take advantage of my 20 mbps dl/ 2.5 mb upload speeds I get at my new home and ditch the cable TV. I have seen a lot of different...

    An update on TheFed's popular "Should I Get Married" thread

    No, I didn't mean MY marriage. I meant marriage as an institution...as a legal definition which prohibits me from expeditiously protecting my children from emotional harm and distress...a title that is too easy to attain, and too difficult to eliminate. We all make mistakes...marrying her was...

    thanks...i appreciate the kind words. it's not tough for me to be positive about their mom to them...it's natural. i think/know she is crazy, but like you said...they can figure that out on their own if that's the path they choose...i am choosing to take the high road. not a negative word...

    Creating an S-Corp 1/2 way through divorce...

    I can and will ask my atty, but I was just curious about the ramifications, if any, I'd encounter by creating a new s-corp right now...9 months into what looks like an 18-month divorce. My assumption is she will have no claim to it as we've been in different household for 9 months and our funds...
