Judy Judge. Divorce Court. Maury Povich. The possibilities are endless, aren't they?
I feel so sorry for the people of Alaska. Having to take custody and support cases to the media to settle them, all because they don't have a court system in place is just terrible.
FTA: In the issue of Us Weekly magazine to be released Friday, Chuck Heath says Levi Johnston is capitalizing on national interviews but not spending money on Tripp, the nearly 4-month-old son of Johnston and Bristol Palin, the governor's 18-year-old daughter.
We need to kick the radical “anti feminists” out of the Republican party.
They are becoming a big problem. They don’t live in the real world in 2009.
Mothers should all be housewives ? yeah right..
It will be easy for me. Pick liberal trash like Romney and I'll be out. It won't matter who they dangle in front of me for VP either.
Levi is a punk.
I like the way Palin supporters pick and choose which conservative principals they want to stand by. RINO? Does that ring a bell, or does it only apply to those people you don’t support? That sounds like a plan. Keep kicking people out of the Republican party, that sounds like another good plan. Everyone makes excuses that everyone has teenagers getting pregnent, or if they aren’t getting pregnent then it’s only because they are having abortions. The reality is, kids who are neglected by ambitious parents are at risk just as much as the inner-city kids. That’s closer to the truth then you thinking “anti-feminists” are the problem. Well, no they aren’t. There is a reason why God invented mothers. And there is a reason he designed it for fathers to be the bread winners. Teenage kids getting pregennt isn’t as much as a coincidence as some of the Palin supporters would like to pretend.
I would tend to agree. Women can be anything they want to be, make no difference to me - just don’t force your views on me or neglect important items because of it and complain that your family life is screwed up.
We reap what we sew...
Yes, I know that *legally* child support and visitation are completely separate issues. But in reality, a father who doesn’t want to pay child support isn’t going to make a legal issue out of visitation as long as the mother isn’t making a legal issue out of child support. Bristol has certainly made plenty of money from media appearances and could make a huge wad any time she likes by doing a book deal (and I wonder how much her mom is bribing her not to go ahead and do that). Levi has whined that Bristol won’t let him take the baby anywhere — I don’t think any of the parties involved really want to get into a court battle over things like whether Levi should be formally prohibited from taking the child to the home of his drug-dealing mom.
What I saw at the convention was two out of control, undisciplined teenagers, not two people about to get married.
I also saw at least one out of control, undisciplined parent. Maybe two, but it's hard to tell how much of the whole mess Todd has really had any control over.
Not everyone who is knowledgeable about a certain organization is a member of that organization. I’ve only been inside an LDS chapel twice in my life — once about 30 years ago as a teenager when I visited with another non-Mormon teenager who was interested in the church (the hard-sell was pretty overwhelming and neither of us ever went back), and the other time about 4 years ago when a Mormon college student who was renting a room from me was performing in a historical play put on by her stake (very well-done and enjoyable). I’ve had a longstanding interest in the past and present LDS Church (and also in the larger category of what anthropologists call “intentional communities”, and also in the larger topic of 19th century American “pioneers”). Have no interest in joining, though, especially since they’d excommunicate me in short order for prohibited family arrangements and failure to obey to leaders.
Sarah Palin’s wild tales about her “engaged” daughter and wonderful-young-man-future-son-in-law have turned out to be pretty self-besmirching.
most likely the legal issue of child support is already out of Bristol or her mother’s hands. The DHS insists that CS be paid unless they were never brought into the situation to begin with.
Once the mother requests assistance from the county, the DHS takes over and sets a court date. If this never happens and the mother doesn’t make an issue of it, then what you say is true. Many fathers will insist on visitation rights regardless of their ability to pay CS, so that gets the ball rolling also.
It all really depends on how far a given individual wants to take things. His CS obligation would probably be very small (~$50 per month with no job), something that probably won’t serve as a deterrent to him seeking visitation. Most fathers, however uninterested they may appear to be in paying support for their children will still want an active role in their child’s upbringing - it’s the real deadbeats that don’t.
According to the article you posted, Sarah Palin's dad gave an interview with US Weekly magazine.
This is the same US Weekly magazine (^) that Palin supporters were all bent out of shape over back in early autumn when the magazine slammed her mercilessly. It was so bad that thousands of people canceled their subscriptions. The cover story was titled “Babies, Lies and Scandal" (^)
Why must you insult working mothers ?
