Two Family Law BILLS Died in Committee

Mississippi legislation kicked around 2 significant ideas for changes in Family Law. Both failed to become law in the State. This “was the year” for Irretrievable Breakdown, Mississippi’s answer to No Fault Divorce. In MS, you do NOT have a right to a divorce. You either have to have fault grounds that you can prove to the satisfaction of the Chancellor or have an agreement with your spouse to…

Gap between haves and have-nots widening, report warns - BBC News

"FIFTEEN YEARS of stagnant wages, family breakdown, poor housing, crime and mental health problems."

THIRTEEN YEARS of Tory-dictated austerity, corruption, the neglect and destruction of our public services and national infrastructure, just to make their cronies richer.

The unacceptable face of capitalism has broken Britain.

Time to fight back before it's all destroyed for good, and our future ruined irretrievably.

anyway further to previous post about the envelopes i accidentally sent to the void: realised today that we'd had some kind of uh breakdown of communications & my co-worker who knows how to order new reply envelopes hadn't ordered anymore bcos she thought we had enough but actually we didn't have enough bcos of the box i sent into the void

she is not happy with me.

we have 1000 reply envelopes and 1027 letters in the mailing

go for a wander around to see if perchance we have any loose reply envelopes in the stationery cupboard. we do not BUT in my wandering i remember that earlier on we nerfed some letters bcos we remembered the department they belong to actually closed recently and im like ohh that was a pretty big stack, that might take us under 1000

go to check how many we nerfed

we nerfed. 26.

tell my co-worker and manager that we should be one (1) reply envelope short. they see the funny side in this.

manager & co-worker go off to see if they can get the box out of the void

i sit there stapling letters together all stressed bcos i feel like i ought to be helping with box retrieval but also the letters very much do need stapling

manager comes back and announces box is irretrievable.

get to the end of the day. we have 13 reply envelopes left over?? unclear how this happened.

we have 513 reply envelopes but 500 are trapped for all time.

How about persistence or bottling up emotions? 🐈

ok for persistence, the word reminds me of a whumpee with an escape plan that requires work. tedious, monotone work, stuff that needs to be done every single day, every waking hour, whenever they're left alone. it's not even guaranteed to work, but it's their only bet. like trying to carve a tunnel with a spoon yknow. whumpee has no choice but to be persistent and stubborn and go with it

it also reminds me of a persistent whumper, the creepy kind, the one that set their sights on whumpee and just won't give up. won't fucking disappear and die already. whumpee thought they were dead like 5 times before and they keep coming back

or a persistent caretaker, the one that stubbornly tries again and again every day to help whumpee. on the days when they're tired, on the days when whumpee doesn't want to see anyone, on the days when they have no time, they show up and try and fail and try again

mmm bottling up emotions. blorbo bleebus making everyone around them think they're some sort of emotionless, heartless being

or making them think they've never felt a negative emotion in their life. they just live their life on happy mode

making themself believe these things. they're fine! they're fine because they're supposed to be fine, they need to be fine, they have no reason not to be fine

they tried facing their emotions one (1) time and it was a disaster, absolutely never again, 0/10 would not recommend

what happens when the bottle finally breaks. is it a mental breakdown? crying? is it snapping at loved ones? throwing things? does it start out as anger and morph into hopeless wailing?

...are they ridiculed because it was a seemingly small thing that ended up setting them off? will they stand up and say "sorry, that really was ridiculous" and pop the cork right back in?

or is the bottle irretrievably broken, and can they never go back? do they try to go back, only to find they're crying at the slightest of things now? are they confused and frustrated?

do people around them prefer the old version of them?

At our firm, we prioritize personal attention to each client, ensuring that your case is handled with care and expertise. We understand the desire to move past a challenging relationship swiftly, without unnecessary delays or worries about paperwork and court procedures.

Understanding New York’s Uncontested Divorce In New York State, there are two primary types of divorce: contested and uncontested. A contested divorce arises when you and your spouse disagree on various aspects of the divorce, such as equitable distribution, child custody, or alimony. In such cases, the Court may be required to make the final decision after a trial, necessitating your presence in Court However, when both you and your spouse agree on the terms of the divorce, you are eligible for an uncontested divorce. This means mutual consent to end the marriage, as well as consensus on property division, child custody, child support, and visitation arrangements. Grounds for an Uncontested Divorce in NYC New York has transitioned to essentially a no-fault ground for divorce, specifically the “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage” lasting at least six months before filing for divorce. This means that if you and your spouse no longer wish to remain married and it’s unlikely that you will reconcile, you can request a “no-fault” divorce by stating there was an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This is not only the most common but also the most cost-effective approach to an uncontested divorce in New York. Other grounds for divorce in New York include cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment, imprisonment, adultery, divorce following a legal separation agreement, and divorce following a judgment of separation. These grounds are now almost never used and the Court does not like seeing people argue these grounds when the “no fault option” is readily available. Meeting Residency Requirements To file for divorce in New York, you must meet residency requirements. Either you or your spouse must have been living in New York for at least two continuous years before filing for divorce. Alternatively, one year of continuous residency is sufficient if you meet specific conditions such as getting married in New York or living together as a married couple in New York.

1. Free Initial Telephone Consultation: Reach out to our attorneys for an initial consultation at no cost.

5. Once we receive back the papers signed by your spouse or upon your spouse’s default, you make the final payment and we prepare all required documents, sending them to you for review and signature.

6. Once we receive the papers you signed back, we file everything with the Court.

7. Judge’s Review: A judge will review and sign the papers. (Sometimes additional work may be required by the Judge before signing)

8. We then file and serve on your spouse notice of entry of the divorce once the Judge signs the papers. 

Estimating the Timeline

The duration of an uncontested divorce in NYC can vary, typically taking between 4 to 18 months from filing to judgment, depending on the county.

3 and 19 for your choice of character for the SWTOR Character Ask meme!

Okay, I’m going to answer this for Velnira, because neither answer is really in the spirit of the question, but I think they’re both interesting because of that.

3. What Forbidden Romance — i.e., one not permitted by the game — would or do they embark on? (If they're a romance sort of person, of course.)

So, Velnira is (almost certainly) acearo. She doesn’t do romance, she does diplomacy. She was supposed to maybe end up queerplatonic with Nadia.

Then I started writing her, and she somehow ended up. Having a childhood-friend qpp. With the “talk to your trainer” npc.

And this is how Hallen ended up on the Jedi Consular crew.

19. If they could have killed anyone the game didn't give them a chance to, who would it have been?

Strictly speaking, no one. She has never made a dark side decision in her life. But there is someone she wanted to, and that’s Warden Playt.

She got to Belsavis knowing nothing except that it was a prison world (which was bad enough), and that it was rioting. Then she landed, and talked to Playt, and immediately learned about the Condemned—the second-generation prisoners that grew up on Belsavis, never knowing freedom.

She’s a Jedi, and she’s a good person, and she has a great deal of self-control, and so she did not actually nearly snap his neck. But she was suddenly very, very aware that she could, because it clicked into place all at once that the Republic was condoning this, and that there was a very real chance that she would not be able to stop it and still go home after.

(She did not consider for a moment that there was a very real chance that she would not be able to stop it.)

If Velnira ever fell, it would look like a quiet crying breakdown where she tried to process what she knew she was about to do, followed by her picking herself up and dusting herself off and very calmly making a lot of choices she never believed she would make. And the crying breakdown is optional, under enough stress for time.

So in my ideal version of the Belsavis planet quest where everything went completely irretrievably off the rails, [Kill Playt] would have been one of the options on the dialogue wheel, and she just didn’t take it.

jasmine and abelia for the ask game! -ypq

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

I answered this one but let me see if I can think... okay so I actually hated Wuthering Heights except when I was reading it because it was assigned in high school I was in a weird depressive slump and the only thing that made me feel better was reading that book. So I got way ahead of the class because I would just go home curl up and read it?? Idk it was weird. I couldn't stand most of the characters and didn't care for the style but I was so attached to it. But I doubt I'll ever reread it. 

Oh and Little Women! My mom read me Little Women when I was like seven and I was riveted but I probably won't reread it and I refuse to see any movie version because Little Women to me is my memory of the book. If I ever changed my mind I'd reread the book first. We also read the two sequels, Little Men and Jo's Boys because I insisted on it. 

And I enjoyed the original Jungle Book a lot as a kid but I hate Rudyard Kipling so much I doubt I'll ever read it again... I suspect to an adult the racism in that book would really jump out. 

abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with?

I have the Bead! I wore it constantly (except for showers and swimming, sports, things like that but I did sleep in it) for years, but now I only wear it occasionally because of the wear and tear. It's a cheap plastic bead, it wasn't meant for this. I will never ever part with it although I did lose it for over two years a couple years ago and I had a breakdown about, tore my room apart more than once, my mom called a hotel we'd stayed at in case I left it there... and then it just turned up. Which is so fucking in character for the Bead, but let me explain the backstory. 

My friend Christi and I really loved animals, and we'd bring these happy meal toy sized The Dog stuffed animals to school to play with. One day we had a button that had fallen off another friend's coat, and we used that as a puck to play "nose hockey." (We were in fourth grade, air hockey was the coolest game ever.) Then our friend needed the button back so it could be sewed back onto her coat, so we needed a new puck. We found leftovers of these extremely cheap kits we'd used to make a keychain as a father's day craft, and commandeered the round, flat bead. It was red plastic and originally had a simplistic drawing of a car on it but that's long since rubbed off. 

One day we were playing nose hockey on the sidewalk and the Bead fell into a deep sidewalk crack. We thought it was irretrievable, but we tried anyway, working together with sticks. It ended up flying into the air (which we did not expect, we were just trying to roll it) and we caught it. So we began to suspect it was magic and could not be lost. I took the bead home for the summer, and it disappeared from the spot I left it in. Months later, it turned up in a completely different room of my house, on a different floor (I suspect feline assistance, which is fitting; we both adored cats). So now it was really magic! Christi wasn't in school that regularly, so I'd bring it just in case. There were a couple more incidents too, where it was lost or nearly lost and showed up again. 

After she died, I wanted to keep it safe, so I put it on a string--it was a bead, after all--and made it into a bracelet. My mom, realizing my knot was not secure, suggested putting it on a chain instead. When the plastic started to deteriorate, I stopped wearing it. A few years later, I took it to a jeweler, who put a metal tube inside the hole so the chain wouldn't cut into the plastic. Then I put it on a necklace instead, so it would be more protected than on my wrist. It's fragile so I still don't wear it every day, but I wear it some. 

I was wearing it on my way home from college for the summer. I got home and took it off and then it was just gone. I was sure I remembered where I left it, but it wasn't there. It wasn't anywhere. I was devastated. It was gone for years, and I had dreams where  found it and I woke up disappointed. 

One day I was on the other side of my room from where I'd last seen it, going through a box of Christi mementos. The Bead landed on the carpet. I don't know where it fell from. This was in September, too, not long before the anniversary of her death. I let out a shriek. So the Bead returned to me again! I still only wear it occasionally but I keep it very carefully. 

I also have a necklace that says Chatty Cathy, the name of our friend group, that another friend's mom had made for all of us (I think Christi was buried with one). I wore that every day for a while, and then every Friday (Christi's day at our school and Chatty Cathy meeting day; we were a "club" that was allowed to do whatever we wanted and roam unsupervised because cancer perks are very real), and then occasionally, but they were very cheaply made and after having the chain fixed many times I decided I needed to buy one that wouldn't break and risk losing the charm and I haven't done that yet, so I just have that one carefully put away for now. I had a near miss with losing that too when the chain broke while I was going through security to tour UK parliament and I had a breakdown because I thought the charm was lost and security was really nice to me, even pulling up a grate to see if it fell in (it turned out to be in my hair. embarrassing.). I'm American so I was kind of expecting guns in my face. 

Remind me to post a picture of the Bead later! I actually have a replica of how it originally looked (another leftover keychain kit) that I want to make into a piece of jewelry eventually. 

#sorry this is one of those normal questions that turns into a dead best friend story with me

‘No Fault’ Divorce

History

Prior to 1975, it was much harder to get a divorce. The dissolution of a marriage was approached as a matter of contract law and getting a divorce required proof that the other party was at fault for the breakdown of the relationship. ‘Fault’ was synonymous with serious misconduct. There were 14 grounds for the grant of divorce, including adultery, desertion, cruelty, insanity and habitual drunkenness. Divorce applications were often opposed, and parties would hire lawyers or private investigators to gather evidence. Going through divorce proceedings was therefore expensive and for many people it was not a realistic option. Collusion between parties and fabrication of evidence of fault was also common. This was reportedly done where there was agreement between the parties to end the marriage, to avoid the embarrassment and expense of going through a trial.

The Whitlam government changed the law in 1975, to reflect changing social attitudes to relationships. The resulting ‘no fault’ divorce system is the system we still have today. Under this system, courts have no regard to who may have been at fault where a marriage has broken down. Relationships are now understood to end for a variety of reasons, which may or may not be due to the fault of one or both parties. It is widely accepted that parties to a marriage have the right to end the marriage when they see fit.

To obtain a divorce now one must only establish that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. To prove this, you must show that there is no prospect of reconciliation and that parties have been separated for at least 12 months. In some cases, separation may have occurred despite the parties still living together (Section 49). This is known as ‘separation under one roof.’ A divorce can be granted even where there has been a brief period of reconciliation, provided it does not exceed three months so long as the periods of separation before and after the reconciliation add up to at least 12 months.

As she saw it, thinking is not something that one person can do alone. It takes two people to have a thought.

Agnes had just finished a draft of her second book, which fills in what she considers to be a significant omission in her first book: the degree to which aspiration depends on other people. The book examines the ways in which Socrates recognized our vulnerability and neediness and incompleteness. His greatest insight, Agnes believes, was that people are intellectually lonely—they live under an illusion of self-sufficiency. Dialogue was the only way out of their natural state.

She repeats the argument she made about Socrates’ vision of love as a kind of ladder, two lovers aspiring together to the same ideals, but she also contemplates what it means when the “company of the person one once chased with breathless abandon loses its thrill, the frequency of both sex and vigorous conversation decreases, and living together becomes a matter of routine. This supposedly ‘good case’ is, in its own way, also far from ideal.”

Agnes became aware that marriage is a thing that can die. She described the experience as “persistently ignoring the thought that there’s something wrong. You just turn away from something and then keep turning away from it, and eventually you can’t see it anymore.”

Until she met Arnold, she said, “I didn’t realize how lonely I was. You don’t see it. It’s like the air that you breathe, but when you see that you can be relieved of it there is this weird way in which the relationship exacerbates the loneliness.”

overlooked the way that tiny kitchen conflicts can expose relationship fault lines

Arnold clarified: “The source of my question is: What is the aim of work? It has to be something that’s not work. Aspiration can’t be infinite, as much as you would love it to be, because at some point you have to get to the value that you are supposed to be aspiring towards. And, once you’re there, that’s who you are.”

For Agnes, it was philosophical work, a way of sorting out “what one human can be to another human.” It seemed to her that Arnold had come to her with a question: Is it possible to eliminate the loneliness that is intrinsic to any relationship, to be together in a way that makes full use of another person’s mind?

Even when you start to see, Oh, he doesn’t quite live up to the ideal, you owe them the very existence of the ideal in you. You owe them your projection. They pointed you in that direction.

“I think it’s possible for a good marriage to end in divorce,” she said. “In a lot of ways, I think we don’t see our marriage as a failure.”

the judge asked if there had been an “irretrievable breakdown,” and if they had tried to repair it. As if, Ben said, “there’s this thing and you were trying to do it, and it’s broken, and it’s failing, and it’s bad to fail, and so it’s bad, and so we should see if we can try to save it. And I’m worried that that’s a kind of fallacy, that we have an overly formal conception of what failure is.”

‘I could completely change now,’ ” she recounted. “Radical change, becoming a wholly other person, is not out of the question. There is suddenly room for massive aspiration.”

For the first time in her life, she felt as if she had access to a certain “inner experience of love,” a state that made her feel as if there were suddenly a moral grail, a better kind of person to be.

Sometimes it seemed to Agnes that the universe had been prearranged for her benefit. If she and Arnold were taking a walk together and she craved a croissant, a bakery would suddenly appear. If she needed a book, she would realize that she was passing a bookstore, and the text she wanted was displayed in the window. She thought that this was now her permanent reality.

Her experience had prompted her to reinterpret a famous speech, in the Symposium, in which Socrates, whom she considers her role model, argues that the highest kind of love is not for people but for ideals. She was troubled by Socrates’ unerotic and detached view of love, and she proposed that he was actually describing how two lovers aspire to embody ideals together. True lovers, she explained, don’t really want to be loved for who they are; they want to be loved because neither of them is happy with who he or she is.

In “Parallel Lives,” a study of five couples in the Victorian era, the literary critic Phyllis Rose observes that we tend to disparage talk about marriage as gossip. “But gossip may be the beginning of moral inquiry, the low end of the platonic ladder which leads to self-understanding,” she writes. “We are desperate for information about how other people live because we want to know how to live ourselves, yet we are taught to see this desire as an illegitimate form of prying.” Rose describes marriage as a political experience and argues that talking about it should be taken as seriously as conversations about national elections: “Cultural pressure to avoid such talk as ‘gossip’ ought to be resisted, in a spirit of good citizenship.”

2018, she describes how philosophers have often scoffed at the idea of self-creation. Nietzsche dismissed the idea that a person could “pull oneself up into existence by the hair, out of the swamps of nothingness.” But the book argues that people can embark on a path toward a destination, a new way of being a person, that they can’t yet see or understand—a process that she calls aspiration. When aspirants make decisions, they are guided by the possibility of a future self that does not yet exist. They imitate mentors or competitors, risking pretension, because they understand that their current values are deficient; they haven’t made room for another way of seeing themselves or the world.

She is often baffled by the human conventions that the rest of us have accepted. It seems to her that we are all intuitively copying one another, adopting the same set of arbitrary behaviors and values, as if by osmosis. “How has it come to pass,” she writes, “that we take ourselves to have any inkling at all about how to live?”

Mutual Divorce: A Guide to End Marriage with Consent

In today's fast-paced world, where life decisions must often be made with both efficiency and care, the process of ending a marriage can be particularly challenging. Mutual divorce, characterized by a consensual decision to part ways without acrimony, stands out as a rational choice for many couples.

At VR Associates Law Firm in Gurgaon, we specialize in guiding our clients through the intricacies of mutual divorce, ensuring that the process is handled with professionalism and sensitivity. This blog explores the critical aspects of mutual divorce, providing insights into making this significant life transition as smooth as possible.

Understanding Mutual Divorce Mutual divorce, also known as an uncontested divorce, is a procedure where both spouses agree to dissolve their marriage without engaging in bitter disputes. This form of divorce not only minimizes emotional stress but also expedites the legal process, allowing both parties to move forward with their lives more quickly and with less financial burden.

Key Benefits of Opting for a Mutual Divorce

Amicable Resolutions: One of the primary advantages of a mutual divorce is its capacity to preserve a cordial relationship between the parties involved. This is particularly beneficial for couples with children, as it supports ongoing cooperation in parenting responsibilities.

Cost and Time Efficiency: Without the need for prolonged court battles, mutual divorces tend to be more cost-effective and quicker than contested divorces. This efficiency is something we at VR Associates, with our seasoned divorce lawyers in Gurgaon, strive to maximize for our clients.

Privacy Maintenance: Mutual divorce keeps the details of your personal life out of the public eye, maintaining the privacy of all parties involved.

Legal Prerequisites and the Process To initiate a mutual divorce, several legal requirements must be met, including mutual consent, an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, and agreement on crucial issues like property division and child custody. The process typically involves:

Open Communication: Start with clear, honest discussions about your intentions and expectations.

Professional Consultation: Engage with experienced divorce lawyers in Gurgaon, like those at VR Associates, to navigate the legal complexities efficiently.

Agreement Drafting: Formulate an equitable agreement detailing the division of assets, custody arrangements, and other pertinent issues.

Filing the Petition: Jointly file a petition for divorce, marking the formal commencement of the legal process.

Observing the Waiting Period: Most jurisdictions require a waiting period after filing for divorce, during which the couple can reconsider their decision.

Finalisation: After the waiting period, if both parties still wish to proceed, the court finalizes the divorce.

Financial and Emotional Considerations A mutual divorce involves not only legal but also financial and emotional considerations. Financially, it is crucial to equitably divide assets and liabilities and address spousal or child support. Emotionally, the support of counselors and therapists can be invaluable in managing the stress and emotional upheaval that often accompanies the end of a marriage.

A Guide to Understanding Divorce Laws in Singapore

Divorce is governed by specific laws that differ from one jurisdiction to another. Singapore's divorce process is unique, focusing on specific requirements and legal grounds. The process involves elements of family law, child custody matters, and sometimes, even annulments. This article aims to provide an in-depth view of the Divorce Law Firm Singapore.

Understanding the Requirements for Divorce

Acquiring a divorce in Singapore is contingent upon certain prerequisites. Firstly, at least one party must be a Singaporean citizen or have resided in Singapore for three consecutive years before seeking a divorce. Also, the couple should have been married for at least three years. Exceptions exist for special cases where divorce can be filed before the three-year mark.

Despite these conditions, it's essential to understand that obtaining a divorce isn't merely a matter of meeting eligibility criteria. It's a significant decision with profound implications on one's divorce identity, impacting personal, social, and financial aspects of life.

Legal Grounds for Divorce

The primary legal ground for divorce in Singapore is a marriage's "irretrievable breakdown." This means that the relationship between the spouses has deteriorated beyond repair. However, unlike jurisdictions like the US, Singaporean law doesn't recognise "irreconcilable differences" as a valid reason for divorce.

In Singapore, the courts need substantial evidence of this breakdown. This can be demonstrated through adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion, or separation for a certain period. Each of these reasons carries its own stipulations that must be met.

The Divorce Process

The divorce process in Singapore is a two-stage affair, applicable for both contested and uncontested divorces. The first stage, known as the 'dissolution of marriage,' involves the court granting an Interim Judgment if it's satisfied that the marriage has broken down.

The second stage involves settling ancillary matters such as the division of marital assets, child custody, and spousal maintenance. This stage concludes with a Final Judgment, legally ending the marriage. It's vital to understand that this process, while structured, can be emotionally draining, often leading to a shift in one's divorce general perspective.

Divorce and Adultery

Adultery is grounds for demonstrating an irretrievable marriage breakdown. However, it's important to note that in Singapore, adultery is defined as a spouse having sexual relations with a third party of the opposite sex.

This serious allegation requires conclusive evidence to be proven in court. If successful, it can significantly impact the divorce proceedings, especially regarding matters of child custody and division of assets.

Child Custody in Divorce

Child custody is a critical aspect of family law that surfaces during divorce proceedings. In Singapore, the welfare of the child is of paramount importance. Courts typically make decisions about custody, care and control, and access based on what is in the child's best interests.

It's essential to note that child custody and care and control are separate issues. At the same time, custody refers to major decisions about the child's upbringing, care, and control concerning the child's day-to-day living arrangements.

Annulment vs. Divorce

While divorce and annulment both end a marriage, they are fundamentally different in their nature and legal implications. An annulment goes beyond dissolving a marriage; it declares the union null and void as if it never existed in the first place. This distinction is significant, as it carries unique consequences and considerations.

An annulment can be granted under certain circumstances, such as a lack of consummation, absence of consent, or if one party was already married at the time of the union. These strict grounds provide a basis for annulling a marriage but are relatively rare in Singapore's legal system.

It is important to note that annulments offer an alternative for individuals who meet the criteria and wish to avoid the potential stigma or perceived finality associated with a divorce. However, due to the stringent requirements, annulments are not as common as divorces in Singapore.

Final Thoughts

Navigating the complexities of divorce laws in Singapore can be challenging. Amy lim law Divorce Firm Understanding the legal requirements, grounds for divorce, and the process can help individuals better manage their expectations and prepare for the journey ahead. Whether grappling with the shift in one's divorce identity, understanding the nuances of family law, or dealing with child custody matters, every aspect requires careful consideration. In some cases, an annulment might even be a viable alternative. Ultimately, seeking appropriate legal counsel to navigate this challenging process is crucial.
