One of the messiest breakups family-law lawyer Cheryl Sena has witnessed had all the hallmarks of a bitter, "who-gets-what" divorce.

What made the case especially difficult, even as ugly splits go, was that the feuding partners were men. As an unmarried couple, community-property laws didn't apply to them.

Word up!

When gays break up, it ain't just "I want the house" ugly, it is often fatal for one of the parties. And y'all thought all of the white-on-white homicides were from serial killers or bar fights!?

Please, someone in the law enforcement community correct me if I'm wrong.

I am curious what the percentage of first-month and first year divorces will be among sodomists. They should feel motivated to remain in wedlock for 'the cause'. At the same time, they might not stay 'in love' as easilly. Nor are they binded with their own children. But perhaps they can adopt a few playthings and be pretend-daddies.

Look at the stats from Amsterdam -- Avg length of a same sex marriage is around 1Yr (Note that is a straight average... No pun intended)

"Boston lawyer Joyce Kauffman [said] "They will meet this summer, fall in love in Provincetown, find a justice of the peace and get married. Those are the couples I'm worried about."

Yeah, I bet she's worried, I bet she's losing sleep every night. She's worried they don't have her phone number on file.

But wait until bizarre custody battles become the norm. Now judges usually side with the mother because among other things, it makes the decision easy for them. Just wait till they also have to sort out exactly what sex is what parent. And when neither is a blood relative. At least it will get the judges on our side the hard way just to save themselves the headaches.
