At the time we were living in New Orleans,LA. They lived in military housing.I had a close association to both Mike and Gayle. I remember the last evening we met at their home. It was a very nice evening and they were their usual friendly selves. After the evening was over we said our last good byes and left as Mike was being transferred and this would be our last evening with them. Before we drove away from the base I remembered leaving something and drove back to their house to pick it up. I met Mike at the door and he acted a little startled as if all was not well with them.The mood had changed and it was quite clear to me. I have since thought about that. The article did not state that Gayle remarried. Yes Mike's responsibility to his children stands but the picture painted of Gayle in this article is the truth but not the whole truth. My personal conversations with Gayle suggested to me that she was fully capable of leaving Mike but did not refer to anything that suggested there was abuse in the home. I only heard of this abuse thing from Gayle after they separated. My first impression after hearing Gayle talk about this abuse was that Gayle was not telling the whole truth. She was looking for a ally and she was not getting it from me. Mike was her second husband. I believe he adopted the children from the first marriage. Gayle always wanted to do more than most are capable of.She was off working nights as a paramedic away from the kids. It would not surprise me if Gayle divorced her third husband or maybe even the other way around. I loved Gayle as a friend but I would not want to ever be married to her.She has high expectations. As far as I could see, Mike did not fit into those expectations.He was a good man.I truly believe that.Not in his defense but as a matter of fact. I dont know where Mike is. I've never heard from him. My wife and I named our daughter after their daughter Brooke. Please e mail if you care to comment.

i feel sorry for the father, the mother, and mostly the children. first off it isnt just one person's decision to have nine children. maybe if the mother would have kept her legs shut she wouldnt be in the situation that she is in now. same goes for the father. what is wrong with people today? having kids that they can not support. i think there should be a law against people popping out more kids then they can handle. get a job and get out of the bedroom!

This Rip Off Reporter located Michael Banks, 528-64-2969. He is an accountant for the State of Utah and his phone number at work is (801) 538-6611. He lives at 528 N. 200 E., Spanish Fork, UT 85660-1510. Home phone number is (801) 794-1064. Michael Banks was informed that he could not play god with how much he pays his ex-wife. He must have checked with an attorney because he did not send only $750 but paid $1,300. He is begging clemency because he can't afford to pay almost a million dollars in back alimony, but did he think of a struggling young mother for over six years getting by on whatever he decided to throw her. Michael was a Marine until 1 year ago and the U.S. Marine Corps would not help his ex-wife get the amount required. Their JAG attorney also screwed Michael Banks' wife out of her authorized portion of his retirement. QUESTION: How can he have a State job with Utah and not pay the court-ordered amount? We will not give up until Michael's ex-wife gets the back child support, plus amortized interest, and her authorized portion of the pension.
