Ooops!!!

She then divorced her victim and verbally alleged that her victim had agreed to sign over his home to her and pay her $200.00 a month to support the (bastard) child.

The court supported her in all of her crimes. Sound too strage to be true?

See, Charleston County S.C. family court case file# 87-DR-10-00294.

A lot of men don’t want to marry nowadays due to their knowing they could be taken to the cleaners at the whim of the woman who goes astray when she decides she likes having carnal relations with someone else. In cases of divorce, there is a great inequity of legal power in marriages in favor of the wife who is also a mother.

If there were a divorce “veto,” many who feel inclined to cheat or look for other opportunities while they’re still married might think twice. It would also make couples work harder to make things work out if one spouse stands firm in favor of the marriage and forces the other to stay in and work it out.

This is not the “perfect solution” but it could go a long ways in taking the rashness and emotionalism out of divorces and restore some balance of power. Unlike the one year waiting period, this would not force the couple to separate which only contributes to their immediate alienation.

A lot of folks make the mistake of marrying the wrong person. There’s no reason to punish the children for their mistakes, however. My own parents have pretty much conceded that they’d have been a happy old couple if they’d stuck it out despite the hard times. I certainly wish they had. From what I know of the situation, a veto would have caused them to stay together.

One deadbeat goes to jail and gets his regular medical treatment at local taxpayer expense. Why? Because the jail is required to tend to medical needs of prisoners and it cost the county $50,000 when they jail him. In our county it costs near $20,000 per year to jail these non-violent offenders. $20,000 will pay for a lot of childcare.

Take away driving privileges and there will be no driving the new Pontiac Grand Am. File judgments for liens and if the deadbeat ever owns assets, they’ll be paying up.

Think of the savings on the state budget when the child support collection system is cut out. Millions and millions of dollars saved for a few hundred state employees put on unemployment and no fed money for the Moore boy, et al to steal.

Judges can order child support payments paid through a commercial banking account. One parent makes a deposit, then the other writes a check.

Limit government involvement and save jail space for hard criminals.

In my case, it was an ex who was in the phonebook and whose new husband was in the navy. New Pontiac Grand Am. Great new life. Somehow, they couldn’t seem to find her.

Amazing how that works.

Nancy has a point as well – many of the hardcore deadbeats would be that way with a 100K/yr job or with no job whatsoever.

I’m all in favor of mercy of working with those who are trying, because there are a lot who do try, but those who don’t care and don’t bother, no mercy whatsoever.

Yeah, FITS, you explain why after 7 years of Sanford, DSS still doesn’t have a child support computer system that works? How many millions are we still getting fined a year because of that?

So would the hundreds of millions in stimulus dollars being paid to the rainy day fund while Medicaid services are being slashed. Whose pockets would that money have gone into had it not been for media attention?
