Robin Williams Wife Files For Divorce

Well, Legal Pub beat me to it. LINK

But a serious question needs to be asked: Has Robin Williams become a victim of the Prozac enraged women who in general are mad as hell and just aren't going to take it any more?Or is his estranged spouse an entrepreneur who wants to cash in on her half of the wealth?

Perhaps the answer is neither. But the divorce practice is thriving and as the number of divorces grow, so do the wallets of those practicing family law! That little piece of paper called a marriage license is funding alot of legal retirement plans....

So I Sold Out...

So I sold out. I went for the big exposure and published on Legal Pub. I could regurgitate my advice for men on selecting a mate here, but why not just give the LINK. The temptation to have 1000 or more men read the advice as oppose to a hundred was just too great.

I do think Paul Dobranski has something to offer men in the way of advice. For my female clients and readers, yes the advice may be sexist but keep in mind it is intended to be read by men only. I promise I will do something only for women on this site.

Legal Pub Hits the Mark On Improving Custody and Child Support

Outstanding new idea to reduce domestic violence by improving the divorce system. Definitely worth the read! LINK HERE

In essence, Legal Pub advocates changing the way custody and visitation are awarded. He advocates true joint parenting and shared responsibility. Instead of paying child support, both parents pay into a fund with one of the parents administering the fund.

I like it! I think it would work.

Divorce Would Have Been A Safer Option For Julie Jensen and Mark Jensen

Julie Jensen wanted authorities to investigate her spouse if anything happened to her, according to a letter read to jurors Monday during opening statements. (Her husband is being tried for her murder.) Mark Jensen, 48, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife who was found dead of poisoning in 1998 in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.

"I pray that I am wrong and nothing happens, but I am suspicious of Mark's suspicious behaviors and fear for my early demise," Julie Jensen said in the letter read by Special Prosecutor Robert Jambois. (She had told a neighbor to share the letter if anything happened to her. Mark Jensen was charged with first-degree murder in 2002, but the trial has been delayed until now. The defense claims that the 40-year-old woman was depressed and and poisoned herself to frame her cheating husband.

Jambois claims Jensen failed to take his wife to a hospital, even though she was sick for three days before she died. Julie Jensen also told police, a neighbor and a teacher that she thought her husband was trying to kill her. Recent changes in Wisconsin's Evidentiary Rules have apparently made such evidence admissible.

Jensen allegedly poisoned his wife with ethylene glycol (antifreeze) so that he could be with a girlfriend. (She is now his new wife.) Judge Bruce E. Schroeder has not yet decided if taped jail phone conversations between Jensen and his current wife will come into evidence.

Divorce would have been so much cheaper...

Is it Possible to Have a Successful Divorce?

Is it possible to have a successful divorce? Women can have such a divorce according to Christina Rowe, author of Seven Secrets to a Successful Divorce. Christina recently appeared with her children on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. Christina was apparently involved in a bitter divorce for almost two years and it negatively affected her children.

Christina says “I was completely unprepared during my divorce; I never imagined my divorce could turn so ugly. Unfortunately my kids were caught in the middle and it has had a negative impact on them. I wanted to share my experience with other people so that they could learn from what my family has gone through and not make the same mistakes.”

Two of Christina's children have chosen not to speak to their father anymore. Her children were confused and did not understand why a divorce was necessary. Being torn between parents left them angry and sad.

Since the divorce, Christina has been on a quest to teach women how to survive divorce and have a favorable outcome.

Christina’s book, Seven Secrets to a Successful Divorce, is available on amazon.com and at her website, http://www.secretsofdivorce.com/home.

My criticism of the book is that it purports to be aimed at only helping women!

Everyone May Love Raymond, But the Sentiments Do Not Extend to Brad Garrett

Brad Garrett (real name Brad Gerstenfeld) and his wife Jill Diven have finalized their divorce of seven years, citing irreconcilable differences. Guess that shows that everybody doesn't love Raymond's brother.

Garrett was a costar in "Raymond" and "'Til Death" . Garrett will pay $20,000 a month in child support for the couple's two kids -- Max, 9, and Hope, 7 . Garrett must also pay 35,000 in spousal support until December 31, 2018. (This stops if Diven remarries or if either party dies.) Diven also gets half of Garrett's "Everybody Loves Raymond" profit participation! Talk about a vicious divorce settlement!

Endorcement of http://legalpublication.blogspot.com

I endorse Legal Pub as a great site. It is located at http://legalpublication.blogspot.com. While legal pub is a great general site. I limit my site to divorce, paternity and family law matters.

I will continue to comment on Legal Pub.

P.S. Paul McCartney is trying to get back with wife Heather Mills. One wonders if it is to save the $70 million or so he must otherwise pay in a divorce settlement. Three-year-old daughter Bea apparently wants mom and dad to reconcile. Imagine that? A frugal child!
