Default Family Kourts, Legal Parasites

http://glennsacks.com/blog/?p=3807


Forget taxes and the price of gas, this is the top issue for all to be
concerned about.

When Paulette McDonald and her husband were splitting up, she went to a
divorce lawyer, and describes the smorgasbord she found there. "On the menu
was child support, spousal support, pensions, extraordinary expenses,
education costs and the list went on. It was all there and ripe for the
picking."

What DB isn't letting on about is the fact that McDonald didn't go for the
jugular. She, unlike many, many vengeful, spiteful and revenge crazed
former spouses, kept things amicable.

It's not just the ex spouses that use the system for the purpose of ultimate
retribution, but they are encouraged by the legal hounds to suck as much
blood as possible. With Futures and Careers at stake, why is this not a
huge political issue? Their has to be some form of cap put in place to
limit control on these legal leeches!

Perhaps it's just better for men not to get married and have to walk that
tight rope of financial destitution?

Instead of socialized medicine, why not socialized legal representation?
Everyone would have the same chance to be assigned a good or bad lawyer
AND the lawyer gets paid the same whether they win, lose or actually
play fair, which would stop some of the gouging.

Socialized legal representation is almost certain to be VERY
costly to the taxpayer. In the U.S. it already costs a lot to provide
legal assistance to the indigent in criminal trials.

In the U.K. some years back the law was changed to allow
lawyers to charge contingent fees (under which the lawyer collects a
proportion of the damages) -- something that had been prohibited
before, although the contingent fee system has been used in the U.S.
for many years. I was very surprised that this was done, considering
the U.S. experience that contingent fees greatly encourage litigation.
I found out that the reason for the change in Britain was that the
cost of providing taxpayer-funded legal aid to poor people had become
astronomical. The same would happen if publicly funded legal
assistance were widely available in the U.S.

I take the point Phil is making about gouging. However, in my
view, the way to reduce the amount of divorce litigation is to remove
the present incentives for wives to divorce their husbands. In the
U.S. today, the vast majority of divorces are instigated by wives over
their husbands' objections. To counter this, community property laws
should be changed so that assets belong to the spouse who created
them. In addition, an end to the glass ceiling on paternal custody
and reform of the "child support" system would help greatly.

My suggestion was actually tongue-in-cheek as I want LESS government
involvement into everything instead of more. The situation we have
created is we have elected lawyers to the position to make laws which
conveniently promote legal disputes. The surest way to screw up
something is to let the state, or worse yet, 'feddle gummit' to "fix"
it.
In regard to the property laws, I simply refused to marry again, thereby
hopefully protecting what has taken decades after divorce to reacquire.
It's stupid to have to resort to such drastic measures but it is the
best way to protect myself and even then, it's not fool proof since the
government is the fool.
