Assertions that
should form the premise for divorce
law
We
find these truths to be self evident! and we hope you will
petition your politians
to include the necessary changes in law before you will vote
for them
•
Pre-nuptuals must supercede all else: "A deal's a deal"
.
Throw
out Contract Law and civilization will be replaced with
anarchy.
You either have Contract law or Anthing goes. Go into a
relationship with your eyes
open: live by your contract, re-negotiate or end the
relationship. The first thing you
have to do is Agree to Agree. But this is only necessary
because the Law has Failed!
So the law had better not start reversing these contracts
too! The Prenup is the only legal
thing left preventing Marriage from being totally
obsolete.
• Split all
assets accumulated while living
together.
What was
yours coming into the co-habitation remains yours because
YOU earned it,
and that means all things without exception including
property, debts and offspring,
but understand that everything accumulated while living
together should be split 50-50
• Child
support for children is the equal
responsibility
of both biological
and adopting parents.
Notwithstanding
special circumstances both parents should have equal
access and equal
financial responsibility in the support of their children
regardless of their marrital status.
• After a
split there should be the equal division of assets
accumulated together and equal division of child support and
access. And then get on with your
life!
Notwithstanding
special circumstances, Alimony should be
abolished.
Since
the Law was changed so that both partners can now leave a
relationship
without justification or reason at any time - the rest of
the divorce law should also change.
If a partner wants to leave, they should understand that
they are returning to Single life,
a life where you no longer Share everything. You know , like
before they decided to
share everything, when they either lived with their parents
or had the job they earned.
Nowadays the law protects a spouse from being held prisoner
or being abused or being denied
the right to pursue their own career. The reasons for
Alimony are now OBSOLETE.
It is now time to ABOLISH ALIMONY
Because the
change in Divorce Law is
Incomplete
There
are endless stories of inequity and suffering from Both
sexes because of this.
• People with
a brain do not want to get married
anymore.
Knowing
that if a spouse leaves you for any reason, that you are now
burdened for
the rest of your life with alimony payments will stop
anybody with a brain.
It is not Reasonable nor is it an equitable or fair
arrangement:
• The spouse
who contributes the least money has the power to collect the
most
Never
mind being unequal, this just isn't right ! It seems that
the unlucky spouse who
makes the most money during a relationship for some reason
becomes the victim who
has to pay alimony for life If the other spouse decides to
leave for any reason.
• When the
spouse receiving Alimony takes up residence with another
partner, the unlucky spouse paying support often has to
continue payments!
If you
have agreed to share everything and co-habit with another
partner,
isn't it obvious that sharing income should be with the one
your with, not
the one you left?! How can anyone possibly believe that it
is OK
to live with one and still collect from another!
Support from prior partners should End when a spouse takes
up residence with a
new partner. C'mon, that's a no-brainer!
• Alimony is
a system that invites deceit and
abuse.
This
system has created professional Divorcees who keep getting
re-married in order
to collect more alimonies and assets.
• A spouse
can sue for a portion of your
Pension.
Your
pension is sacred. You earned it and it is yours for life.
It is just wrong to
allow a spouse to take it from you because you lived
together!
• Spouses are
suing for divorce to collect alimony instead of trying to
make
their marriage work.
The
Alimony law contributes to the soaring divorce rate : it's
become a temptation
too hard to resist when the going gets a little tough.
• The unlucky
spouse who has to pay is often bankrupted by this
inequity.
How many
spouses now suffer financial disaster from which they will
never recover.
The law, no matter how well intentioned for a culture long
since faded into history,
is not actually working in real life in this new and
liberated society.
• The unlucky
spouse who has to pay is often Emotionally bankrupted by
this as well.
How many
unlucky spouses now suffer from severe depression and are
driven to suicide?
Is this the Freedom to "Pursue Happiness" we are
guaranteed!
• The unlucky
spouse who has to pay can become desparate and even
dangerous. Victims may take the law into their own hands
when the law in unfair.
How many
spouses have done physical harm to a spouse who is
collecting alimony
or threatens to divorce and collect alimony? Check the
statistics on spousal homicide!
When the Law no longer works properly, people will take the
law into their own hands.
Is anybody
listening! Start petitioning your politicians to make
divorce fair and save the institution of
Marriage!
If
we can't make divorce fair, we can say goodby to marriage.
We can expect our
children to start thinking twice about taking up the family
unit as a lifestyle. Abolish Alimony!
Preserve our family culture.
Maybe someone
should also register Abolish-Commonlaw-Marriage.com
while were at it!
Don't
tell me that state imposed so called "Common Law Marriage"
is the answer or the viable
alternative to Marriage! Because the Marriage & Divorce
Laws don't work and the legal Marriage rate is in decline,
the Legislatures who have FAILED US in the first place are
now trying to IMPOSE marriage of a sort on us without
consulting us! That should also be abolished as an Abuse of
our Right of Privacy and Self Determination!
Because the Divorce Laws have made Marriage obsolete or in
the least very unattractive, more and
more people are choosing to live commonlaw. This is really a
symptom of this sickness we call
divorce law. But rather than overhaul or deal with the
ridiculous divorce laws, the week kneed politicians
have chosen to simply get around the problem they have
created by their inaction: they have declared people as
"Married" without
their permission so that the same obsolete divorce laws can
be applied to the very same people who
are trying to avoid the failed legal system! This is an
abuse of our Right of Self Determination!
And it is an invasion of my Right of Privacy.
• Email your
peers and politicians with reference to this
site.
- If you can
see how Alimony is unfair and is now unnecessary due to
other changes
in law providing everyone equal opportunity for self
fulfillment and self determination,
and you don't want to see the end of Marriage as an
institution for the family unit where
children can be raised in a healthy marriage situation then
do something now.
• Why did I put up
this website?
- I
WANT to get re-married and share my life: but my brain
objects to it! You would have
to be a fool to make yourself the target of such unfair and
life destroying law. The only hope now is the pre-nuptual
contract.
- I heard about someone who commited "suicide by cop"
because of this.
- Other people I know have been destroyed financially and
emotionally and
it's hard to watch these good people suffer
- I know stubborn people who have given up, quit their
careers and out of spite are
now living a hand to mouth existence refusing to pay. Their
future is uncertain...
they can actually end up in jail for non-payment and now the
other people in
their lives who love them must suffer as well.
- And why all this misery? So that some person can take
advantage of such an unfair law
that allows them to live off someone else instead of taking
responsibility for their own life
and supporting themselves in the manner in which they have
earned as a person
with the right and the responsibility to self
determination.
• It's a sad
situation! And it must be changed!
So many
people fought to change the laws so that we could enjoy
equality and self
determination. So where are they on This equality issue?
This is no time to quit!
Save the Institution of Marriage by acting on this issue
now!
Where there is self determination there must also be
Accountability.
If you decide you want to live alone it should go without
saying that you
are responsible for yourself:
Or maybe you should see if you can still live with your
Mommy and Daddy.
That's right, I mean to say: GROW UP!
