68. My first thought when I read this yesterday
Edited on Sun Jan-31-10 11:04 AM by truth2power
was, "Look at the Civil Protection Order." I'll bet that's where the root of this lies, in one way or another.

I heard one lawyer refer to the CPO as a "Hillbilly Divorce." That is, the wife alleges abuse, has the husband thrown out of the home and away she goes with everything he owns, leaving him penniless. I think the CPO is one of the most often abused DR Court actions.

Typically, the court believes, on its face, whatever the woman alleges on her affidavit and doesn't even bother to consider that there may be another side. Women can embroil their husbands/ex-husbands in litigation for years, fighting over absolutely nothing at all.

Women are not always victims. Some are just, well......grifters.
