In DC, you have to be married. But you're still a fornicator. Perhaps a californicator.
If I were to get married and have relations with my husband, is that fornication? Does it depend on whether we are using birth control? Are the words fornication and procreation related?


ETA The dictionary tells me that if I'm having marital relations, it's not fornication. Whee! Let's fornicate, baby.

The child support determination is inexplicable in these sorts of cases--he's to pay 90% of tuition AND $18000 a month? How does any child need $9000 a month above any school tuition? If it's for the kids, it's for the kids, not a salary for the parent, or rent (she got the house) or whatever.
On the plus side, maybe Strahan has a malpractice claim to assert?

My point is that he shouldn't have to be careful. The law shouldn't take into account why they are divorcing when dividing the marital estate. And she should only get half of what was compiled while they were married,* which, quite obviously, is more than enough to provide for her and their kids.

*And she shouldn't even get that.
Who is Strahan and why should I care?

Do you have Asperger's?

I scored an 11, so I guess not.

I think you're slightly retarded for answering all 50 questions.

Slightly retarded (per the TM Scale) for answering all 50 questions, and slightly more Aspergery than Ty.

At least he can fall back on the anticipated proceeds of his malpractice claim.

No kidding. So, question for the unfulfilled divorcees: A friend of mine (more a friend of a friend, but whatever) is going through a divorce. And has taken up with a new someone since starting divorce proceedings. She's concerned that doing so will harm her in the divorce settlement, and harm her chances regarding custody of her child. Why does any of that matter? The assets are the assets, and they get divided by whatever formula applies. And the child is the child, and custody is assigned in the best interests of the child. Is sleeping with someone else during a separation grounds for unfitness? She's not a crackhead or anything--just horny.
Why is this question only for unfulfilled divorcees? I only know of uber-smug divorcees posting here. No answer for you.

If I remember correctly, I think any unmarried woman is defacto unfulfilled, according to a certain non-attorney professional who shall remain nameless.
