His 10-year-old son was fighting cancer.

His 14-year-old daughter is a special-needs child coping with all the challenges of Down syndrome.

His 17-year-old daughter, once an A student, is struggling at school and depressed.

His 19-year-old son has substance abuse problems and is currently on a methadone program.

Last fall, after an Ontario judge awarded his ex-wife spousal and child support of nearly $4,000 a month, Hans Mills, an education software expert with extensive work contacts in Southeast Asia, sent Donna Mills an email telling her he had left Canada for good.

“The result of the legal instrument which you recently designed and implemented is that there is no possibility of a comfortable life or a (secure) retirement for me in Canada at all,” Mills, 53, wrote in the email dated November 2, 2011. “Therefore I have left the country to seek greener pastures elsewhere, and will never return. Well done Einstein.”

At the time of the breakup, Mills averaged a yearly income of more than $100,000.

If you run away from your children when they need you the most, you're a bytch.

There's no getting around that, no matter how much you "understand".

 

[DallasTxRep]

Are u kidding me? That ain't a real man

 

[Dr.seuss Swag]

Isn't this a typical dad?

I'm used to hearing these dad stories

 

[HelgaPataki]

i do not understand "money>your kids." so many parents would give their life for this kid. this guy was like "my comfort? oh hell no"

 

[kevm3]

Can't say I got respect for the man for jetting when his kids are in such disarray.

 

[FaTaL]

he only left after they forced spousal support payments, when he gave up that house that was suppose to be a trade for no spousal support

 

[Amy Traphouse]

he was basically forced

a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, dude would literally be making less than minimum wage after taxes etc., it would be impossible to live on.

so he should die?

technically he didn't abandon his kids, his greedy ass wife wanted spousal support

I admire this man, I';d do the same except i';d take my kids with me

 

[marcuz]

You're right, he should live comfortably and stress free while his kids suffer. Not selfish at all...

the kids aren't suffering

one kid is no longer dependant

she is living in a 1.2 million dollar house

“Donna got the million dollar lakefront mansion and full custody of the children with child support, but no spousal support, in exchange for the house,” Hans Mills writes. “Everyone at the time agreed that my spousal support obligation had been met fully.”

everythign was going fine until she got greedy and wanted spousal support

He notes the deal also provided Donna with a built-in revenue stream because the house contained a separate apartment that was rented for nearly $2,000 a month.

Over the next few years, a feud simmered between the once-happy couple. Three years after their “Final Order,” all kinds of issues had arisen about the kids and Donna’s inability to work, and a new trial was scheduled for the fall of 2011.

According to Donna Mills, her ex-husband took her to court three times and at one point tried to foreclose on the house. With her bills piling up, Donna Mills says she used this as an opportunity to ask a court to grant her spousal support.

In June 2011, a judge issued a “Temporary Order” for Hans to pay spousal support, also awarding her both retro payments and court costs. Stung by the order, Hans left Canada before the new trial could take place.

“I was effectively ordered to pay for my crucifixion. Ouch. Plus I still had to pay my own lawyer,” he writes. “Having been buggered once left me no appetite for a second serving, thank you very much.”

A CAC running off to the Phillipines? Leaving his children to suffer while he engages in debauchery with young Asian ladyboys. I hope savages rip him from limb to limb.
