Honor your sons and daughters

This is the 4th Divorce Commandment

Honor your sons and daughters: fatherhood is a blessing. Nurture,protect and financially support your children. Thy progeny shall under no circumstances be used as a political football, despite such antics by other parties. Looking back in 20 years all that will matter to you from this sordid chapter is how you treated the kids, and how they came out of it.

Tips For Divorced Dads

Although both men and women can face a difficult period of transition following the break-up of a marriage, men often have a more difficult time reorganizing their lives after divorce. Because women typically retain custody of the children and residence of the marital home, men face the dual challenge of adjusting to their new parental role and making a new home. Here are some helpful tips to make the transition to a new home easier for you and your children:
Ensure that child has their own space in your home
Sleeping on a sofa/floor or in an open area is not conducive to having your child feel stable in your home. For teen girls, make sure there are little mini containers in the bathroom for her personal affects.

Invite your children to help with decorating their room.
Your child can pick paint colors, posters, and toys to decorate the room. If you keep a second set of their favorite items, clothes, toys, games, etc. it eliminates the drama of forgotten toys and clothes while transferring from mom's place to dad's place. It will help your child to feel secure and make visits less traumatic.


Leather Love is a good thing

Your preference for leather works well with children because it is a great fabric that is easily cleaned of minor spills. Leather furnishings create a comfortable masculine space and your child can bring their favorite pet for the weekend because leather does not collect pet hair.

Scrutinize your home for items that may be a danger to your children

Look around your home; is it clean and comfortable? Take an inventory of items that may be issue- glass tables, sharp edges on furniture, cleaning supplies under the cabinet, stairs without a stair guard, etc. If you have toddlers, crawl around on the floor to see what they see at their eye level.

Make sure you have photographs of your children

If you have remarried and have children with your new wife, make sure there are photographs of all your children. For dads handy with a computer, use your children pictures to create the screensaver on your home computer. It’s a nice touch; and if you are not computer literate, you can ask your child to do it. They will enjoy the task and appreciate the attention from dad.

Ensure that your children have space to do homework.
Even if you are living in a small space, make sure there is a desk or area for the child to work. Sign up for your child’s’ school newsletter to stay involved in their activities. Most schools have online sites, so check out the school calendar.

Has any wealthy man ever won a divorce case?

I have been searching for a while and have not found the case of a wealthy man winning his divorce in a courtroom, and in the court of public opinion. I keep searching..............But so far the roster doesn't look good for the next man with money in divorce court.

Has any wealthy man ever won his divorce case?
>> Not Charlie Sheen (porn, violence, hookers, drugs). Their toddlers are in therapy. Price Tag $25 million

>> Not Paul McCartney (drugs, alcohol, violence). Price Tag $47.5 million cash plus. He lost custody of their toddler, and will go down in history as the Doormat Beatle. He will also have to pay $70,000 a year in alimony for the couple’s four-year-old daughter, as well as school and nanny fees.

>> Not Greg Norman (adulterer trying to squeeze his wife dry - cutting off her credit cards, changing the locks on their $21 million Jupiter, Fla., home and firing her housekeeper. wife stealer) Price Tag $103 million

>> Not Jude Law (Sleeping with the nanny) Price Tag $$Everything. The 33-year-old said he "lost everything" after splitting from the brunette in 2003. Sadie won the couple's plush £2 million London home. She also netted a reputed £4 million payment and £15,000 a month, according to The Sun. "I lost everything in order to get the right to visit my children. My bank account is therefore almost always empty,"

>> Not Bill Murray (drug-addicted spousal abuser and serial adulterer who abandoned his family). Price tag $ 7 million cash plus

>> Not Hulk Hogan (found out his wife was divorcing him from a reporter). STBX wife sleeping with a 19 year old. Price tag TBD


>> Not Peter Cook (sex-obsessed, two-timing narcissist weeping on the stand while confessing his sexual shenanigans, which included spending 3,000 dollars a month on Internet pornography and masturbating live for a cyber audience via Web Cam ) Price Tag: Lost custody of his child.

>> Not Michael Jordan (adultery, gambling, paternity tests) Price tag $168 Million cash plus

Marriage is about love; divorce is about money! When it is time for divorce women own the " I AM A VICTIM" hat and men with money are ATMs.

2nd Commandment Of Divorce

Thou shalt be discreet.
Save all confessions for your priest or your lawyer. Thy shall in particular resist the powerful natural impulse to seek the counsel of mutual friends of your spouse, to get them "on your side." Save it for your Hemancipation concierge.

First Commandment of Divorce

Thou shalt not be naïve.
Pre-divorce planning is an art of war practiced by women. Do not underestimate potential for deception and treachery when lots of money and a spurned woman are involved. Heartsick men are Labradors, but a lioness has long canines and retractable claws. If divorce papers are in hand it's probably too late to cover your Ass or your assets.

Divorce--The Biggest Loser 2007!

Men whose ambition culminates in a financial jackpot, procure wives who become accustomed to extravagant lifestyles. When these marriages end, these women want to continue those lifestyles and the men will continue to pay. Men lose a significant portion of the wealth that they earned in these arrangements.

Here are 2 of the biggest losers in the matrimonial lottery. There will be more...

Chicago business magnate Michael Polsky parted ways with $184 million. Half of his fortune was given to his ex-wife of 31 years. 6 million per year not a bad investment for her.

Another Chicago resident Juanita Jordan will receive more than 168 million dollars from her divorce settlement with NBA legend Michael Jordan making it the most expensive celebrity divorce to date. Stay out of the Windy City!

Hello Squatters......

We love the title that we've stolen from our aussie clientele! We love our clients, and we love our readers, but sometimes a girl can get kicked and I think it's time to fight back.

Indulge us for a moment while we tell you a tale of two girls with leashes. Take one brilliant concept, add phenomenal potential, mix with plenty of hard work, blood, sweat and and a tear or two, and what is the probability of sucsess you may ask??!! Well, evidentally without a couple of "pedigrees", an official MBA "A" student in line to accept the position of CEO, and some noticably missing male anatomy, we're just a boy and his dog. Hence, two girls with leashes.

It's a geographical tale of the shrewed lioness in search of the bruised alienated male antelope.

A painful descriptive tale of the long and winding road of a start-up business paved with rusty nails and broken glass. An entrepenurial nightmare. Ahhh, but don't lose faith in the dream just yet girls..........

This is a tribute to you my entrepenurial friend, I luv ya!

Alfa Romeo aging in style!


This is for the automobile lovers in our group, the Pebble Beach car event of the year is next weekend, and maybe we’ll just see you there!

The history of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is the history of a passion, a place, and their pairing. Annually on the third Sunday of August, the meticulously prepared 18th hole of the exclusive Pebble Beach Golf Links receives a stampede from thousands of automotive enthusiasts who gather to admire the stunning cars lining the shoreline fairway. Exhibiting prewar and postwar automobiles along with the latest in concept car designs, The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is highly acclaimed, and generally acknowledged as the finest of its kind.

Concours kicks off with the Ninth annual Tour d'Elegance. Participants enjoy a catered gourmet lunch, a champagne celebration at the finish, and commemorative gifts, while the weekend ends with the presentation of special awards including “Best Of Show Trophy”. The event has long served as an automobile time capsule, and next month they will unveil an authenticated record-setting prewar vehicle. The car with the magic chassis…… ‘Million Franc Prize’-winning Delahaye is rediscovered.

We hope to see you then…………

If people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobiles.
