What Does Breach Of The Marriage Contract Cost?

Marriage and divorce are complicated.  Many legal systems look at marriage as a contract.  A husband's obligations -- usually to support his wife.  A wife's obligations -- usually to have sex with her husband.  So, what happens when 2 people decide to break the contract?  Well, if it is 2 people agreeing this doesn't work any more, hopefully, they will be able to come to an agreement.  After all, they agreed it isn't working, right?  But, what if one is happy and the other is unhappy?  Well, in business, that would be simple.  You buy them out.  Usually, partnership agreements--good ones--have bailout clauses how to split up, who gets what, etc.  Who will handle the arbitration or law--which court will have jurisdiction.  But, how should a man and woman divorcing handle it?

Let's face it, prenuptial agreements can't cover everything.  There will always be unexpected issues arising.  But, what happens when one party changes a fundamental premise?  You were married in a certain religious setting and now...You're not into that religion any more?  You're not a communist or liberal or Republican or whatever any more?  What about the kids?  How are they to be brought up?

In contracts--a sale is a contract--if there was a fundamental misunderstanding, the contract--the sale--can be voided.  For example, selling land while being ignorant of the mineral rights and mineral richness of the land.

This could also apply to marriages based upon a false premise.  Usually, misinformation about a previous marriage or current financial situation.  However, I have found it hard to accept an annulment from a couple married for 30 years and having 5 children!  (True story!)

Yet, there is another scenario.  As children we are all socialized to be whatever.  What happens when we realize how we were manipulated and no longer want to live that way?  This is particularly obvious with religious upbringings and gender issues.  How does this all apply to divorce and the children?

There are no easy answers.  But, one thing is for sure, the one breaking the contract has to pay a premium.  And, if either side is too hard headed, the result will be unpleasant for all parties concerned.

NOTE:  See Fraidy Reiss'es article in the Huffington Post.   An example.

NOTE:  The current custody battle for Pearl Perry Reich is also very interesting.  Much to comment on.  But, I will not be misconstrued as publicly supporting either side without knowing the parties.  And, even if I knew the parties, I could never go back in time and know the historical facts.

How To Shave From $50 Billion to $200 Billion Off The Deficit!

Sounds like a tall order. Fantasy, make believe. Not at all. Most suggestions to reduce the deficit discuss eliminating an entitlement—just one, that appears somewhere between unnecessary and ridiculous. The amount saved usually is several million dollars. But, one billion dollars is only 1/10^th of 1% of a trillion dollar deficit. A savings of a million dollars barely dents the national deficit. But, $100 Billion dollars! Now, you’re talking! 10% of the deficit! That’s a real reduction! $200 Billion dollars in entitlements is 20% of the budget! What entitlement could be costing the U.S. taxpayers over 20% of the national deficit? Why single mothers of course.

Let’s do the math.

All these calculations are based on official government reports. You know, Census Bureau, CDC, etc.

Almost every State in the Union is taking funding from the monstrous Mondale Act. (Perhaps Minnesota & Wisconsin don’t.) That’s the Congressional Act that in effect, slanderously labels all men as child molesters & wife beaters. The monstrous Mondale Act basically slanders all men as violent sex perverts. The monstrous Mondale Act provides for federal funding & matching funding for the new invention of Family Courts, Supervised Visitation, so-called Child Support Enforcement and more. Family Courts did not exist before 1960 and would not have come into being without the funding of the Mondale Act. (I’ll explain why it is so-called child support and not child support momentarily.)

Mind you, federal reimbursements for the collection of alleged child support, is not reportable. That means it does not have to appear on State budgets and is otherwise invisible to the taxpayer. Due diligence is required to dig up the data.

Well Washington State gets $98 Million in reimbursements (1990s figure. No reason to suspect an entitlement has been reduced! Ever heard of that?). Can we round up to $100 Million for easy math?

50 (States) x $100 Million (Per State) = $5 Billion

New York State gets over $5 Billion in reimbursements. ($5.4 in the 1990s.)

50 (States) x $5 Billion (Per State) = $250 Billion

To be fair, let’s take the average of the highest and lowest ($5.4 Billion + $98 Million).

$5,400 Million + $98 Million = $5,498 Million

$5.498 Billion / 2 = $2.749 Billion

Shall we round it to $2.7 Billion per State?

Therefore: 50 States x $2.7 Billion = $135 Billion

Now, did you know, that for every dollar in so called child support collected, that over $5- in reimbursements is paid by the federal government to the State? (A 1990s figure. It must be more by now.)

As to the single mothers involved, let us not say that we should starve them to death or discontinue any of their entitlements. God forbid we should ask them to get a job! Let’s just say, that in New York State, as stated in official government reports:

1. The court orders – so-called child support orders – are regularly assessed 66% of the time at 2/3^rd more than the salary of the man – without any proof or explanation of any kind.
2. The court orders – so-called child support orders – are regularly assessed 66% of the time without any record of the woman’s assets or job – in contradiction to the law.
3. That the New York State Dept. of Child Support Enforcement fails 40% of the audits that the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement makes. That is a consistent, yearly audit failure rate of 40%

Yet, the State of New York, always gets their entitlements.

No government official in New York State, or any other State, has ever gone to jail for fraud or misappropriation of federal funds!

Why don’t you try being 40% off on your deductions with IRS for even 1 income tax return!

This does not take into account the Medicaid Fraud, Welfare Fraud, etc. of the women and the State. Food stamps, WIC…

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

For example, men are ordered to have health insurance for their children. But, it is never used and the mothers use Medicaid instead. Do you wonder who is committing the upwards of $5 Billion in Medicaid Fraud in New York State?

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

Then, there are fees for the courts, the judges, the lawyers for the children, the supervised visitation. All paid for by federal funds.

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

The American Bar Association itself claims that 80% of these cases are unsubstantiated. Official New York State government reports use a statistic of 98%; 95% in a good year. Let’s be conservative. 80% of the reimbursements for the courts, judges, lawyers, psychologists are simply a waste of money. You know what a lawyer costs?

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

Did you know, that the law in New York State is, that all things being equal, custody of children should be awarded to the parent more able to support the child. Makes sense. Yet, with all this money in federal handouts, do you wonder why only 4% of the men get custody in New York State. -- That 4% is rounded up. (The State of Hawaii has the highest paternal custody award rate in the country. But, that’s only 15%.)

With all this money in federal handouts and clear misadjudication, jacking up assessments by 2/3^rd without any evidence what-so-ever; that New York State Family Court judges—IN VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL LAW—refuse to participate in mandatory accounting assessments?!

If I were writing a book, I would go into the long list of crimes being committed by the judges, courts and politicians. If I were writing a book, I would rehash what the promotion of single motherhood does to society and its children. It is a fact, that crime, especially violent crime, has risen sharply, in direct proportion to the increase in use of and power of the Family Courts and the whole anti-family, anti-man, anti-father apparatus that goes along with it. It is also a fact, that the perpetrators have been becoming younger and younger—even to preteen!

I assume the reader knows enough to understand that there is corruption and graft turning our children into criminals. The depth & the breadth of it, is unknown to the reader. That is only known to those who have been behind the closed doors of family court. That is the real reason family court is a closed door courtroom. But, the existence and immorality of the family court apparatus is known to the reader.

There is no greater treason, than to destroy the very fabric of society upon which a country is based.

The family courts, the monstrous Mondale Act—however well intentioned; are destroying our society. We see it with our own eyes.

We also can see that many of the judges, social workers, psychologists and lawyers of the Family Court system are anything but well intentioned.

Child abuse is a terrible thing. Family court is not the solution. Family Court is so bad that it must be abolished. Throw these charges into criminal court.

I just come to repeat the words of a long standing, old time, Father’s Rights Activist, James L. Wilks. “That this is America. The only way to stop this corruption and destruction of the family, is to take the money out of it.” We have a tremendous opportunity at this time, to reduce our deficit; save our society and prevent terrible injustices of inhumane and corrupt courts. Cut an entitlement that counts!

You Want to Know Why There is so Much Child Abuse & Neglect?

Banning Children.  What a novel idea?!  As a kid I used to see this sign, "No kids allowed" in some antique shops.  My parents liked to go antiquing and took me along on their Sunday outings.  That is where I got a book on backgammon and learnt the game.  Some shops had signs that said, "If you break it, you bought it."  In one shopping area, with several antique shops, only one had the "No kids" sign.  My father said, with a smile, 'We won't go into that store.'  As if we were on boycott!

Of course, we can debate the legalities and ethics and practicalities of kids in an antique shop.  Surely, some kid has broken something.  Surely, it was an accident.  Surely, the kid does not have to pay.  Surely, the parent has to pay.  But, what if they can't?  At the moment?  What of the aggravation?  What of the accusations and counter-claims?

True.  There are some places that kids do not belong.  There are some parents that should teach their kids better manners.  But, kids are kids and; Americans are anti-children.

While there are some places where kids do not belong, I think this is much more about America being anti-child than anything else.  This is about people not having patience; or being forgiving or tolerant.  Since kids are powerless against adults, adults can easily blame kids for things and get away with it.  A serious trip for some adults how love "to rule over children".  And,  while some couples may try and not have kids, there really is a certain selfishness to the DINKs.  (Dual Income No Kids)

I once saw this anti-child attitude and child neglect manifest in a woman, that had to have her mink coat, but couldn't afford to buy her kids clothes.  One pair of pants for the entire school year.  No joke.  Now, *that's* real neglect!  She got away with it.  She didn't want to be a mother and did the bare minimum not to be arrested.

And, they want to know why there is so much child abuse & neglect.  Because people do not give a damn about kids.  People hate kids.  Kids are annoying and noisy.

In a country where you get more tax deductions for raising horses than children, what do you expect?

The U.S. birth rate is negative.  Americans do not have children and have to rely on the foreigners, immigrants with kids (Mexicans with large families) to keep the U.S. birth rate up.  Let us not forget all the adoptions of foreign children or; reaping of children, from minority foreigners (Mexicans) by Child Protective Services, to keep our population growing.

This is an anti-child society.  Adults do not marry and have children.  The many single mothers can't compromise and get along with a man.  They have to rely on artificial insemination or adoption of foreign children.

What does that say about our society as a whole, in getting along with other people?  Children, by the way, are people.

We, U.S. citizens, need to rethink our position.  Perhaps being nice to children, giving them attention, positive direction and activities, setting examples of good behavior--Yes, even at a public restaurant--might go a long way to having children who would be pleasant to be around.

Clearly, the current anti-child philosophy is not a sustainable life philosophy.
