REGARDING:
“@ david, get off your self righteous charade. You are full of it.”

So any disagreement on anybody else’s part is a “self righteous charade” and anything you say is absolute truth?

Fascinating.

“I believe once a man and woman split, the man should no longer have any obligation to the ex, financially or otherwise, outside of SHARED EQUAL custody.”

So if a couple split up because the husband beat the wife and children up to and including breaking limbs, you believe they should share equal custody?

If a couple split up because the wife beat the husband and children up to and including breaking limbs, you believe they should share equal custody?

“I shouldn’t be a financial slave to another adult.”

I agree. Since you consider marital obligations “slavery,” you should never have that burden.

David for knowing when you’re full

@ chris: exactly.

@Ronda
Yeah, it’s in the best interest of the child to automatically go to the mother where she can hold the child over the guys head. So you tell me, why should a child bear the burden of only seeing a father Wednesday nights and every other weekend ? Mom gets a new boyfriend and he has more influence and time with the child than dad, how is that right ? Besides it’s all supposed to be equal now. Women in the workforce was a huge contributing factor for why this country has gone to crap but you all want the cake, plates, forks, hell even the damn baker. Not happy with just a piece.

REGARDING:
“David: Not nearly as harsh as it should have been, or nearly as harsh as I truly think is deserved”

You know a harsher treatment than an eternity in Hell?
A million million million years of fire and thirst and still as much pain ahead as the first day?

“rhonda and jackie are perfect examples of why alimony needs to disappear forever…I truly believe they are perfect examples of using kids against fathers, as well as leaching off of somebody.”

So you believe a man should be able to dump a loving, supportive, faithful wife at any time without penalty? Some may not qualify, but you lump all as undeserving of consideration. Pity women in your life; their futures hang from a rotten thread.

“I thought slavery was against the law in this country, but not if you are male….then you can be a slave to some divorcee based on the whims of some left leaning family court judge that all seem to punish the man.”

Actually, I have known of men receiving alimony, undeservedly so, it seemed to me, but I was not the judge.

Slavery is illegal, but contractual obligations don’t disappear on your whim.
Just because your word means nothing to you doesn’t mean it is meaningless to the law. Now THAT would be “left leaning”, the idea that truth and promises mean nothing.

I agree that the alimony issue needs to be addressed but I am very glad Govenor Scott looked out for children in this instance. Both parents are best for a child but when those parents live seperately it is ridiculous to expect the child to bear the burden of maintaining an ‘equal’ relationship with both parents. The parents are the adults, they are the ones unwilling or unable to live together. Therefore they should be the ones bearing this responsibility. Yes, it will be unfair at times, as a parent who neither wanted or sought a separation from their partner is forced to live away from their child, but isn’t the best for the child more important than fairness or justice? No one will convince me that living part-time in 2 separate households is best for anyone, much less an innocent child.

REGARDING:
“I hope anybody drawing alimony goes straight to hell.”

Harsh and unfair.

If you could actually picture Hell as it is described, you would not wish it on the worst woman or man who ever lived.

I agree with this Veto. It was a very poor attempt in Bill SB 668 to gut the laws pertaining to FL divorces. It wasn’t about “reform,” it was about deform! The supporters are a bunch of older, very wealthy men who want to gut and take over the system in order to control it. Because they hate it. They have been ordered for years now to pay a portion of money to their older wives for their lifetimes and they DON’T like it. As they tell it, while playing their regular poker games and smoking big cigars, they came up with the idea to get together with their political connections as very rich people always have to scratch their backs for a little green stuff. They wanted a complete redo to rework the family laws in Florida to cater to men only! And while at it, why not go for the children too? Hold them hostage to take the money from the women’s home. Newborn babies? No problem! Give them over to the divorcing dad for fifty percent of the time. Breast feeding? No problem! Freeze the breast milk and hand them over with the frozen stuff, ” daddy” can feed them! Mother/ baby bonding during breastfeeding? Not happening anymore! Anything to gain ground to pay less child support. Hijacking children to rig the system to steal the money! It was a one sided scam designed to steal money from women in order to steal her chances and ability to sustain her family going forward without the men. A way to reform, deform, punish and control women! SAD! Thank God the Governor saw through it again and did the right thing. Vetoed the Greedy bill for the sake of the women and children of this great state as it still stands today!
