Getting
married or divorced without first understanding what
is involved is like trying to build a house without
a blueprint. You need the correct information and
tools that will enable you to successfully perform
the job and achieve satisfactory results..
On this
site's
pages, you will find a compilation of information sources, support
groups, ways to fight back against the alimony laws, and other
data that will help you understand and arrive at
your decisions to ease you in or out of marriage.
There
are a lot of father's support groups in existence but only a few alimony oriented websites or organizations
fighting to reform the alimony laws that place undue
financial burdens on divorced spouses. This burden applies
not only to men but to an increasing number of women
who are the breadwinners in their families. Depending upon the
length of the marriage, these burdens are
oftentimes imposed for a lifetime, with little hope
for relief.
It is not right for the
family judicial system to interfere in your life. You are supposed to be
protected by the constitutional guarantee of the Right to Privacy in
matters related to your marriage. There is no government interference
when you get married, so why should they interfere when there is a
divorce (dissolution)?
Judges
have unlimited discretion to intrude in your life,
to strip you of your assets, to take your children
away and to bind you to the court system for the
rest of your life.
You are
not alone, but you need to do something other than
just sit back and let this happen. Become active in
educating yourself as to what can be done and
finding out how to
stand your ground. The Marriage Strike is one way to
protest the inequitable alimony laws.
More and
more people are finding that they are unable to
afford the high cost of lawyers and are turning to
representing themselves on a "pro se" (without a
lawyer) basis in order to save family assets by not
incurring the legal fees.
According to the
National Center For State Courts (NCSC),
statistics show that, for family law cases in
California alone: 67% of petitioners at filing (72%
for largest counties) are self-represented and 80%
of petitioners at disposition for dissolution cases
are self-represented. Other states report similar
statistics.
To help you represent yourself in
family law court, there are many sources and
references that will provide assistance. The best
place to start is
here.
.
You will find
that the sites listed under the "Alimony Resources"
in the menu are the good places to start your
search for other groups that are attempting to reform
the alimony laws.
