This is showing unwed persons with children as well not divorce alone.

It seems to me the govt would do a better job not peddling marriage but instead condoms.

 

Quit the free meal tickets for the unwed baby machines.

 

We all know that there are generational welfare families.

 

And it the justice system were not involved in uncontested childless divorces that would cut many of the taxpayers expenses.

I think the point is; the government believes its there responsibility because they believe its costing money and protecting children.

 

I had to wait a year and only paid court costs to the government, but in the state I now reside in I believe its only 30 days so it’s more of a state to state issue. And I’m assuming your not against marriage you just want the government to stay out of it, gotcha.

 

Yah, I’d like them to stop telling me how fast I can drive too. JK.

 

When you refer to, “The Government”, are you thinking some shadowy figure lurking in your back yard or us, the tax payers?

 

Oh, and I agree, there is a huge problem with, "the free meal tickets for the unwed baby machines”, and “generational welfare families” that should be addressed but according to the article; wedded couples are much less liking to be on welfare, (I’m not really sure why that is), and couples, on average, do a better job raising kids than single parents do. Although I do now of several single parents who have done an exceptional job raising their kids.

There is no reason in the world why a married person who decides they want a divorce should be forced to wait a year to do so.

 

 

This is a matter of some state imposing their religious values on people.

This is not just about "children". Gay marriage is a great example of religious views being imposed on personal choice via the govt.

 

As for speed limits..... it is foolish to want to drive 100mph on a public road.... common sense. Like traffic lights. We also know to wait in line at the grocery checkout. Most of us would also realize that divorce does have financial pit falls.

 

I think the this country now has a nannytude.

 

There are still laws on the books of some states telling you what kind of sex you have with your spouse is legal or not.

 

So yes govt needs to stay out of our private life decisions.

 

As for shadowy figures.. I am not paranoid. I am a tax payer.... so I don't get the point you are trying to make.

 

I can see where this nannytude has gotten us at this point. Obviously it doesn't work. Read the paper this morning.

 

Are Americans that stupid that they need to be told what to do and who to do it with 24/7 for their own good?

I didn’t actually wait that long; my ex and I told the court we had been sep that long, but don’t tell anyone ok:laugh:. The actual time from filing to divorce was the next available court date I believe.

 

I knew you where going to take that speed limit comment and run with it, lol. It’s nice to see you do draw a line though.

 

I wasn’t trying to make a point with the shadowy figure, I was trying to confirm something about you. Remember, you and I don’t know each other from Adam. If I was off base and you where a paranoid this conversation would be pointless. The way it stands I think we actually agree that there needs to be some changes. I'm not of the opinion we need to; “through the baby out with the bath water”. I’m in total agreement that the government needs to stay out of our privet lives. As long as we can be absolutely sure that our privet life decisions don’t adversely affect an innocent. Other wise I should be able to drive 100mph if I choose too. Because yes, sometimes some of us are that stupid.

 

Shoot, I’ve got to go and I won’t be able to pick this up ‘till Monday. Have a good weekend.
