Should people pay a tax to get divorced?
Divorce is the ultimate sin. Shouldn't transgressors pay a "sin tax?" People pay taxes on fat foods. They pay taxes on cigarettes. Why shouldn't they pay a tax on divorce?

Michael Jackson’s (MJ’S) mom Katherine Jackson wins custody of the kids
The best woman has won! Michael Jackson's mom Katherine Jackson and Debbie Rowe have reached an "out of court" agreement about the children. Reports are they are to have a child psychologist facilitate the integration of Rowe into their lives. She is to have "liberal" visitation rights. I think that is the best result for this particular [...]
Jude Law, hyper-fertile baby daddy and nanny-shagger will have a 4th child support payment soon
Bad boy Brit actor Jude Law will have to pay child support for 4 kids! He has three with his ex wife Sadie Frost (what a lovely name!) whom he divorced in the 90's; and now, his ex girlfriend is preggers. He has vowed to support the child.

FLORIDA: Lisa Leder on why being a cougar has nothing to do with getting half the marital assets when you divorce
She's an alleged cougar who "went off the reservation" (George David quote about his wife Marie Douglas and I thought it was really original so I'm using it now), and now some people feel that Lisa Leder should not get half the marital assets as a divorce settlement from her mogul husband, Marc Leder, equity partner at the Boca Raton private [...]
