Alright... when the world has reached the point we have, “The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers”... its time to firebomb the place and start over.

Wow crazy maybe the reasn marriages lasts so long in past years was because women had no access to employment
Glad love is not about cash flow
Can someone buy me a lotto ticket please?
The other side of this coin is that the couple can’t sell the house because they are upside down.
What the matrimonial lawyers lose, the bankruptcy lawyers take.
Often, as lust cools so does "love." Then all sorts of things seem to aggravate couples.
A relative of mine wants to divorce his wife so bad right now but he can’t afford it - guess he’ll have to work on the marriage - poor guy/sarc.
America. What a country! /s
Shush... Congress may read that and give them a $500 Billion bailout.

Dang! I thought Zero was gonna do it ALL for me! Pay my mortgage, fill my car with gas, keep the fridge filled with beer...and pay for my dee-vorce! ;)
“Can someone buy me a lotto ticket please? “
I guess I just dodged a bullet. Husband played the lotto and was ONE number away from winning $350,000.00!!
He only won $500, so I guess he’s still stuck with me, LOL!
“Often, as lust cools so does ‘love.’ Then all sorts of things seem to aggravate couples.”

Learn to cook, Ladies. The way to a man’s heart IS through his stomach. Or sturnum...if you really want to finish the job. ;)
I recently spent a morning in a courtroom where the judge had a calendar of divorce cases on for conferences. (I accompanied a friend who wanted some moral support).
What struck me was the number of couples who were proceeding with their divorce, but were still residing together in the same marital residence because of finances.
bankers are broke, divorce is too expensive, ..... why, the next thing to hit the fan will be the public works department.... Where will it end?
