On why high net worth folks (including billionaires like Donald Bren) should NOT be subjected to the child support formula
I think there should be special provisions in the child support formulas in every state that discriminates according to income. I don't think there should be a blanket formula that applies even-handedly to everyone. I think billionaires and very wealthy people are a special class that should be treated differently for these purposes. Just like I [...]

Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Oksana and Mel were in court today on a custody hearing for baby Lucia Gibson. Mel is trying to get his "father's rights."

ALABAMA: How to deny responsibility for child support and get quoted from Alabama to United Kingdom
It's been a wild last few couple of days. First of all, I've discovered the fountain of youth, literally and I am in the process of bottling it for sale.

The triple digit heat hitting the NE has turned my brain to mush and I'm not understanding this lawsuit that has allegedly been filed by a LAWYER in Washington claiming to be the father of basketball star, LeBron James.

Is P.Diddy a bad father for buying a Maybach for his 16 yr old son’s birthday gift and having children out of wedlock?
Fashion/Music/J.lo's ex, P.Diddy, (Sean Combs) recently came under fire in an interview with Martin Bashir for Nightline. Diddy's been out stomping for his new movie, Get Him To the Greek, and he did a sit down with Bashir which I have not seen; but I've been reading a bit of press about the interview and it appears that Bashir tried to imply [...]

Divorce, kids, and equitable distribution: What do you think about this?
I found this website and I uploaded two of the points from an article post: You are not a Princess - 25 points for women and men to consider. What do you think about what the author had to say in this post? Read below. I am curious and troubled by a lot of the implicit message of this post. But maybe it's me. What do you [...]
THE DIVORCED MAN’S MANIFESTO
THE DIVORCED MAN'S MANIFESTO I vow to keep my cool and not let my wife and her lawyer anger me. I will be respectful of the process and of my wife throughout.

CHICAGO: Joseph and Rebecca Reyes continue their ridiculous fight over their toddler’s religion
CHICAGO: The Joseph/Rebecca Reyes divorce continues to implode. I was privy to a 20/20 interview these two submitted to a few weeks back and I walked away feeling that Rebbecca Reyes was a very spoiled and unreasonable human being. Her husband Joseph Reyes was definitely passive aggressive. But Rebecca was spoiled, rigid and even a bit mean and [...]
TV star Montel Williams’ kids suggest he’s a bad father post-divorce
Do you remember when Montel Williams was married to this very attractive brunette woman and was on this award winning TV show? I probably shouldn't admit that I'm old enough to remember this as it can only date me. But I do remember the days, even though I never watched his show. Seems the pair had a couple of comely kids, Montel and [...]
DNA, CHILD SUPPORT & FATHER’S RIGHTS
I was just reading this article in the New York Times and I came away from it thinking that something is wrong with a system that would force a man to continue to pay child support for a child that is not his. This issue of equitable paternity may be well-intentioned in most cases. But is it fair? Certainly in the Times piece, where the wife had [...]
SWITZERLAND: Why American fathers are at risk of losing their kids in this European country
Married to a Swiss woman? Got divorced? Well you may want to think about whether she is likely to take your kids to Switzerland and you may want to ask the courts to take the children's passports.
