Resolutions for 2006: Lose weight. Make appointment with cosmetic surgeon. File for divorce.
Retailers may have December, accountants have March, but divorce attorneys say January and February are among their most bountiful months.
"A good gauge on how the divorce business is doing is how busy my members are," said Fadi Baradihi, president of the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts in Southfield, Mich. "And my members say it's a busy time for them."
During fiscal 2004-5 in San Diego Superior Court, November and December had the fewest divorce filings, with 962 couples throwing in the towel during the Christmas month. Filings were up 10 percent in January, and February's rate was nearly 17 percent higher than December, with 1,123 people giving their beloved the heave-ho.
Still, the high point – or the low-point, depending on your perspective – was June, when 1,258 people filed.
Divorce experts say the number of new filings doesn't tell the whole story. This month and next, they're certain they'll see a surge in clients walking through the door. Some will want to file paperwork immediately. Other clients scope out an attorney, seek legal advice and then wait weeks or months to file with the courts.

Good for them. They can have it.
Ah yes, this is something that I've only done once and will never do again. I'll never marry again either.
Divorce costs more than marriage. that is because Divorce is worth every penny. Marriage, often is not worth what you pay.
With marriage, you don't find out the terms of the contract until after the period of performance is over.
Just wait until the queers can divorce. I can almost hear the lawyers smacking their lips.
I almost did it once and hope never to consider it again. Divorce is often prefaced by the idea that life can be perfect through the finding of the right circumstances.
I said the same thing for quite a number of years.......but things don't always remain the same in one's life.
Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

Oh, here we go: another thousand-post thread. Let me save everybody a lot of time, emotion, and bandwidth by summarizing briefly what the next thousand posts are going to say.
--My ex-wife stole my kids, my money, my truck, my boots, my quarter horse, and my best coonhound. I was a saint. Therefore all American women are bitches.
--We are not.
--No American woman will look at me. I'm going to Ukraine/Russia/Slovakia/Pango-Pango to find a real woman.
--American men suck.
--We do not, it's all your fault, you avaricious sluts.
--Women need to stay home with the kids.
--They can't, taxes are too high.
--My new Guatemalan wife is gorgeous and loves me for my soul.
--She's using you.
--She is not, all foreign women are beautiful, cultured, sexually insatiable, and sweet.
--We've had a perfect marriage for 47 years and my husband still adores me.
--Shut up and stop gloating.
--Stop being so bitter, there are lots of lovely single people out there and if someone doesn't want you it's your fault.
--Here's a great article by Fred Reed on why foreign women are better.
--Fred's right, American women are all bitches.
--Oh, yeah? Well, American men are all bastards and Fred's one too.
--You're a liberal.
--You're a communist.
--Admin Mod: Knock it off.
When the topic is the War Between the Sexes, yeah. If anybody posts on the subjects of divorce, custody, sex, dating, or Maureen Whose-Name-I-Will-Not-Type-Because-I-Don't-Want-To-Have-To-Post-An-Obligatory-Picture-of-Catherine Zeta-Jones, the threads just blow up.
61 years of marriage. Congratulations.
Feel like a newlywed since I've only been married 47 years.
My wife and I married firts before a JP in Belton,Texas some 30 odd years ago and the second time with Father John presiding at St James in Danielson, Ct.
God bless you and many more.
Good evening and the very best to you and yours.
