I was reading a story in today's Florida Times Union, and I wish I had held onto the hard copy version as I can't find it on their website.
The story is that a divoriced Tampa woman and her boyfriend went out to Las Vegas to get married. They had their family and friends in attendence, and had a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony and were pronounced man and wife by a Rabbi. They have plenty of pictures and video to document the event.
But when the woman and her husband returned to Florida, her ex-husband, who's been paying $5,000 a month in alimony, made a request to the court to have that requirement lifted. The woman went to court and said that although she had had what appeared to be a wedding, she was still single because she never signed or accepted her marriage license. And in court she had witnesses from her family come in and testify that they had been told in Las Vegas that although the event looked, smelled, and felt like a wedding, it was really a commitment ceremony!
Now, how anyone can look at this case and not see a clear case of criminal intent to defraud is beyond me, but not only did the judge not see her acts as criminal, he ordered the husband to continue paying the alimony. So this woman has her relationship blessed by her religion - known as a marriage in most parts of the World, is living as husband and wife with her new husband, and gets to keep getting her alimony because she's manipulating the system. Even worse, she's doing it with complete knowledge, planning, and premeditation.
Unbelieveable!!!

Just not enough info to make a good judgement call.
The only downer this week was the loss by my Steelers.
