The society has now become more transparent since the Freedom of Information Act has mandated the availability of public records to every member of the community. Such policy has a lot of positive impact to all. Despite its benefits, there are organizations who express their opposition to such Act. On the other hand, there are also those who support it especially those Public Divorce Records users. Now, all records that are stored by the government are accessible by the public as required by the law.
It is critical for a child to have a father. Actually, any male who can reproduce can be a father but it takes a special man to become a DAD. Learning from a dad is an important part of the development of both male and female kids. Without the dad, the child will not learn valuable lessons they will need to develop and grow. A mother can never take the place of a dad.

Many of these nasty divorce stories are true. In case if you are not careful, these things can happen to you too. Keep in mind that going through a military divorce is much different from a run of the mill divorce.
After a divorce, a man doesn’t always know where the road will lead him. He is often at the crossroads of his life. What does he do now? How does he cope with the loss?
Well, for one man, my good friend David, he decided to hit the road…on his bike. For the next six months, he will be riding across America. That’s 4,262 miles on the Transamerica Trail taking him through 10 states, starting in Oregon and ending in Virginia. When he gets to Virginia, he’ll decide if he will turn around and peddle back.

There are several grave effects on a man who is facing or has gone through a divorce. Before you make the legal marriage commitment, you may want to read on. Learn to make better choices before getting married, so you can avoid these devastating effects.
Men, when you are dating a woman, you want to find out things about her. You want to see if you are compatible. Maybe she likes Jazz, long walks on the beach, dancing and sports. If there is attraction and compatibility, you may continue dating her or attempt to date her. This is the normal dating stage process.
There is one thing that you might not do or think of doing. Probably one of the most important things to find out about her, you may overlook all together. What you overlook may…no, will haunt you for the rest of your life if you marry this woman. It seems so obvious, but most of us men miss it. Or maybe we ignore it.
Here is some unconventional wisdom when thinking about divorce before marriage. If the woman you are thinking of marrying has a bad relationship with her father, there are good odds that she will have a bad relationship with you.
If she hates her dad, she will learn to hate you too.
There’s something that often happens when you’re out playing the ‘seduction game’ – that is, when you’re actively looking out for girls you think you’d like to hook-up with. Many men have experienced it, and many thousands of men still do experience it when they themselves are out playing the game. It usually goes something like this: you’re in a group, talking to a couple of girls. You’re with a friend or two, perhaps having drinks in a bar or at a party. You’ve got your eye on one girl in the group in particular and want to make something happen, make a bit of a connection. Thing is, she’s proving the hardest to connect to – sure, she smiles and talks to you nicely and politely, but she’s not returning your flirtatious gestures and comments much, if at all. It’s like she’s playing hard to get or something, whereas her female friends seem to be much more playful and flirty.
When a person wins an “alimony lottery” the other person and his or her future relationships lose. The grave effects of paying alimony are often overlooked by the media and especially the court system. There doesn’t seem to be much sympathy for men or women who are forced to pay alimony. There isn’t much thought by the court system as to the ramifications of alimony on relationships down the road.
Most men have heard about “Prenuptial Agreements” and to a large degree they understand the conceptual nature of a Prenuptial Agreement. However, very few men understand that in the 21st century if you are going to get married, a Prenuptial Agreement is an absolute necessity!
An important part of maintaining a great relationship is learning how to make love with your partner. Expert, Michael Webb, from the Oprah Show, shares 5 ways to make your lovemaking more HOT!
In the middle of a session the other day I had a powerful realization. I was asked to think of a relationship I had with something in the last week that in my mind was the ideal relationship, and to think of what it was about that relationship that made it ideal.
A number of men in the group thought of their cars, tool sheds, families, workmates, old friends, even relationships with objects such as their television remote, recliner chair, or favorite pair of shoes. To each of these men, these things felt comfortable, and simple. The relationships they had with these people or objects was rewarding and easy to maintain.
When my turn came to identify my ideal relationship, I thought of my dog. My dog has very simple needs, and it is the ultimate ego-boost for me when I get home at night and I am greeted in such an enthusiastic fashion. I don’t know of any others that greet me so enthusiastically night after night. No matter how long I have been away from the house or no matter how my day has been. I call this unconditional love.
Touching/physical contact is an absolutely vital component of seduction. You can’t successfully pick-up a girl without first establishing a basic level of mutual tactility – I.E. Before you can move in for the kill by kissing and/or sleeping with her, you MUST first have a regular, healthy amount of touching that works both ways: she flirtatiously puts her hand on your knee, you encircle her waist with your arm and pull her a little closer – whatever form the physical contact takes, it has to be present for you to achieve your final goal of actual seduction. And that right there is where the problem for many men lies: how can a guy get the ball rolling when it comes to tactility and physical closeness? If the girl’s not being tactile, how can a guy develop mutual physical closeness without freaking her out or scaring her away?
It happens to the best of us. Communication is such a fickle thing, and the lines of communication can become blurred every so often, especially when feelings are involved. Even those who think that they are immune to the confusion of conflict can find themselves drawn into a communication breakdown when they least expect it, and chaos ensues.
This happened to a friend on the weekend, and until to be quite honest, it took them by surprise. Even those of us who are better equipped than many others are not immune. A few cutting words from a loved one, hurt feelings, and a defensive retort that left both with regrets. It was a silly argument, over something as simple as a misplaced bottle of soda, the lid off the juice, or newspapers not picked up. But to them, it represented something much deeper that had been simmering away for a couple of weeks until the frustration reached breaking point.
If you feel your relationship is at breaking point, you can get relief right now by checking out:
Williams wrote the book because he was tired of seeing fellow men being taken advantage of again and again by the legal system. He saw men lose everything that they worked so hard for. Williams was one of those divorce attorneys who specialized in getting women everything that they wanted in their divorces. It was his job to destroy poor saps before they even know what hit them.
“It used to be my job to “annihilate” poor saps like you before you even knew what hit you.”
Are you frustrated that your relationship doesn’t have the magic and romance that it once had?
You’re not alone.
Living with the same partner for a long time can become stable and comfortable, and, as a result, can also kill the spark that made your relationship so special in the first place.
Here are some simple, fun and creative ideas to reignite that magic:
Prenuptial agreements have been given a bad rap. After all, if you love someone why do you need a legal document to dictate the terms of the marriage? Funny, marriage is a legal contract between the couple that dictates the terms of the marriage. In many cases, the marriage contract becomes ones sided and often dictated by a judge who really knows nothing about you.
Pop singer Pat Benatar sang a song back in the late 1980s…”Love is a Battlefield.” If this is true, then divorce is personal Armageddon.
Having gone through it for over two years, there is no doubt that it is one of the most trying times of your life. Your world will be dramatically changed is an understatement. You are going to be stressed; you may even get depressed. You will be overwhelmed by all the legal processes that your attorney will drag you through before you get to a possible trial.
Divorce is a financial killer; often for both parties. In particular, men often take the brunt of the financial hits. Often the main bread winner, men are saddled with the financial burden of two households on his same one salary. He barely gets by.
“I won’t agree to this amount, I can’t live on that amount, it’s too low!” she said, as she threw back the marriage “divorce” settlement agreement. Alimony isn’t to be the sole support but to supplement her income if she is a capable person able to earn her own living. Alimony shouldn’t be looked at as a “lottery” or a way to soak the ex-husband as it often is looked at by the ex-wife.

During one of Robin Williams’ shows, he studiously looked at the audience and said “Ah, divorce…from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.” Williams, who has been divorced twice, certainly knows what it is like to go through the emotional and financial divorce wringer.
If you are divorced or separated, you have additional deductions or you have tax consequences.
Child Support is not Tax Deductible
Many newly divorced or separated people don’t know that child support is NOT tax deductible. The Internal Revenue Service’s thinking behind this is that you would have the cost associated with child support any way and supporting your family wouldn’t normally be deductible; except, any allowable deductions that would be under any other normal IRS code. What about a guy who is unfairly forced by the courts to pay child support for a child that is not his responsibility? Yes, this happens.
If you just have a music CD collection to divvy up when you divorce, you can do a do-it-yourself divorce.
When you have kids, a house, investments and years of marriage, getting divorced becomes a nightmare. A big part of the nightmare is how you are treated by most family law attorneys. Your life is going to hell and you are just a recurring revenue stream for that attorney to make his Beemer payment, rent on that fancy office and lining his pockets with your hard earned money.
The free half hour consultation is like a first date. They look so good; they have the pedigree, with diplomas up and down the wall. They often paint a better than average picture of the perceived outcome of the ensuing case. Of course they can’t guarantee the outcome, but they do sound encouraging. They hand you a few pamphlets and some documents to review. One form they give you is the retainer agreement with an ironclad one way contract in favor of the lawyer if you have a billing dispute down the road. Just make out the $5,000 retainer check to the name of the firm. You can look around, but most family law attorneys are really the same. You may get lucky on your second attorney and find someone who bucks the odds.
For the couples living together rather than getting married or couples who have children out of wedlock, it is important to have some protection to clarify financial commitments.
A cohabitation agreement is a legal agreement between the couple that defines who is responsible and what share of responsibility each has in running the home. The couple gets together to work out the details of paying the bills, what portion of the bills are paid and by whom. This part of the agreement allows for a more harmonious environment.

There was a time when getting married was financially advantageous. Particularly, when a female had a family dowry of wealth and land. Also known as “seed money”, a dowry’s purpose was to help establish the new household and help the new husband feed and protect his family and to give the wife and children some support if the husband were sent off to war and die.
During today’s economic downturn, there are less financial reasons to get married. Now keep in mind, marriage is a contract; really a financial contract. Depending on the state of the contact, a financial killer if the contract is broken. The recession has had an effect on just about everyone. Many couples are putting off marriage. According to a CNBC report, 1 in 3 Americans 17 and over, or 31.2 percent, reported they had never been married, the highest level in a decade. The share had previously hovered for years around 27 percent, before beginning to climb during the housing downturn in 2006. Click here to continue reading Six financial reasons to put off marriage
There is a saying: men get married to have sex all the time; women get married so they never have to have sex again. It is not certain how true this statement is. However, what is true is that in most marriages, the sex life does often diminish. Keeping the spark going in a marriage is definitely easier said than done. The daily routine of work, getting the kids ready for school or other responsibilities challenge couples to keep the flame bright. Frankly, most people don’t think there is enough time in the day to fit in sex with their partner. According to a study done by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center, couples in a committed or married relationship have sex about once a week.
On the heels of Tiger Woods’ mea culpa, it is tempting to broach the subject; are men biologically designed to cheat?
First, we may never know the full truth as to exactly why Tiger cheated. Maybe the answer is as easy as he could. Perhaps he was looking to cash in on his notoriety. Men don’t necessarily stray for the sex as much as the attention. So, maybe he was caught up in women who notice him. Who knows what wasn’t going on at home with his wife? Either way, each time he strayed, keep in mind that there were willing women just as culpable.
Also, there have been many powerful men throughout history who have had indiscretions, including several of our Presidents. Even FD Roosevelt, who was wheelchair bound due to polio, had a relationship out of wedlock.
You wouldn’t go skydiving without a chute, so why would you go diving into saucy sex without a chute?
It’s hardto believe, no pun intended, that the week of February 14 – 21 is National Condom Awareness week. Interesting enough, the salute to condoms starts at sundown on Valentine’s Day. You think this is a coincident? Well, it makes sense to promote practicing safe sex the night of, and if things go well, the whole next week of potential Valentine wild sex. The condom is not just to reduce the chances of contracting HIV or STD; it has an equally important function.
True love and romance is a wonderful experience…nothing better for a man. When a man is really in love, he will do almost anything for his woman. After all, love is doing for others often before your own needs.
He’ll surprise her with a dozen red big bulb roses… just because. He’ll take the time to pick the right bunch, checking the color and the scent of the flowers. Carefully, he picks a dozen, noticing the balance of those roses that are open, opening or will open in a few days.
How about giving her a compliment without expecting to sleep with her? Or, give her a handmade card just because it is a day you are in love.
If she says, “slow the car down, open the car door and let me out”, while you are having a dating argument, go ahead and let her out, say goodbye and be glad that she revealed how she reacts to an argument and how she does the power play.
Unfortunately, the struggle for power seems to be a basic element in all of our relationships. In particular, it is ever present in our emotional relationships with the women we choose.
A relationship is the cooperation between two people. It seems very simple yet often hard for many of us to deal with in our lives.
Too often the cooperation involved in the relationship leans more toward a power struggle. Who will succeed in controlling or dominating the other person? Who will be able to have their needs met over the other?
Let’s get one thing straight right from the get go – as a man, when it comes to procreation you only have the power to prevent it. That’s it. Once your seed enters a woman’s womb you’ve lost whatever rights you had. A woman has the upper hand and most are unlikely to yield to your wishes. Whatever she wants to do she’ll do so based on her own moral compass and other considerations. If she wants to abort the baby she can do so with complete impunity. If she wants to have the child she can and there’s not a thing you can do about it. Women have absolute control over their body so said the Supreme Court in its 1973 landmark decision, Roe v. Wade.
Over the years, you have developed into who you are. You have certain habits, likes and dislikes. Your personality has formed to make the unique you. You think you are okay or maybe you think you are great. So, why does she want to change you or tweak something about you?
There will be some compromise when she comes into your life, however, don’t compromise what is important to you, what you have become. She says she loves you, so why does she want to change you? Why can’t she accept you the way you are?
Many men love cars. Some men are even obsessed with cars. After all, they are often cool, shiny, curvaceous, fast, comfortable, fun to drive, a technical marvel. When you drive down the street and see a car being washed, it is usually a man taking care of it. Washing it, caressing it with a sponge, carefully removing dirt and grime. He may even detail the car inside and out. He takes pride in his car and wants to take care of “her.” Why are cars “her” and not “him”? You guessed it; cars are mainly designed for you, the man. You have lots of makes and models to choose from. It is no mystery why cars come with so many types, like sports, sedan, truck, SUV and the dreaded minivan. They also come in many colors with lots of options.
How many times have you heard someone say that opposites attract? We men are drawn to women for various reasons. Sometimes it’s the wrong reasons. In a casual relationship this is not a problem. No harm, no foul as they say. In a long term relationship however this can be a serious impediment to success. We often delude ourselves into thinking that any issues of non-compatibility can be overcome because of the “love” that exists between us and our partner. In what I call the ‘minor areas’ this is entirely possible. Perhaps you are more outgoing and gregarious and your partner is more shy and demure. This in and of itself is probably not going to tear your relationship asunder. However, there are some key areas that, if you want to ensure long term success, you’d better be compatible. Let me give you a couple of examples:
Marriage is a legal contract. With any legal contract, one must evaluate the consequences of signing the contract. In most contractual situations, we use our head. With a marriage contract, emotions are often equally at play. A man’s judgement can become clouded. If you can relate to any of the seven reasons a man should not get married, reevaluate your situation and decision.
Finding the right woman for you is not easy. Especially with the divorce rate hovering around 50%, making a relationship work with the wrong woman is even harder. How do you find the right woman for you? The following rules may help you.
The first rule is you need to be honest with yourself. Look in the mirror. Who are you? Can you be honest about what you want from life? If you are unsure of what you want, then how can you be in a committed relationship? Make a list of what is important to you – socially, financially, career, religion, what you want in a mate. Take this pre-relationship check list and go through it several times. See the relationship checklist in this site, thinkdivorceb4marriage.com .

Despite popular belief, paying alimony doesn’t just have an effect on white middle aged men. Often, the second wife and family suffer.
After a divorce, a man doesn’t always know where the road will lead him. He is often at the crossroads of his life. What does he do now? How does he cope with the loss?
Men, when you are dating a woman, you want to find out things about her. You want to see if you are compatible. Maybe she likes Jazz, long walks on the beach, dancing and sports. If there is attraction and compatibility, you may continue dating her or attempt to date her. This is the normal dating stage process.
