Divorce
judge advises former New Jersey governor, wife to use ...
ELIZABETH, N.J. -- A judge
handling the contentious divorce of the nation's first openly gay governor and
his estranged wife urged them on Friday to use "common sense" during their split.
Judge Karen Cassidy
also called former Gov. James E. McGreevey's sexual orientation insignificant
to the case. The courtroom session with McGreevey and Dina Matos McGreevey
was their first public appearance together since he resigned and told the world
he was "a gay American" more than two years ago. Just before the hearing
started, McGreevey approached his wife as she sat between her lawyers and shook
her hand. He spoke and she acknowledged him; the encounter lasted a matter of
seconds. At the hearing, which followed a private meeting with lawyers,
the judge said the couple had agreed to continue their current visitation arrangements
for their only child, 5-year-old Jacqueline.
When
husbands are being nice..... There
will be times in the interim before the divorce is final that it will seem like
old times. Mr. Nimhs will talk to you, help with money, or fix something that
needs fixing. Don't be lulled into complacency by his niceness!
There will also be times that you think he is changing his mind. He might
even offer to take you someplace to visit friends or family! Of course, he has
a different agenda than you do, and since you don't really know what he is thinking,
you can become confused. He will also be nice when he says he saw his lawyer,
and he really didn't. Moving along a divorce will be paramount in your mind because
you just want to get it over, but he will drag it out to the nth degree! Again,
he won't really out and out lie, it will be more a lie of omission. When he tells
you his lawyer is on vacation for six weeks and will be back the middle of April,
well......you think? Reality is that he has done something he shouldn't have.....or,
he just wants to spend the night elsewhere! Most of the time when he is
making nice, he is really hiding something.
Hasselhoff
ex hires Birkhead lawyer LOS
ANGELES David Hasselhoff's ex-wife has hired a former lawyer from the Anna Nicole
Smith paternity suit to represent her in a Los Angeles custody battle with the
Baywatch star. The syndicated
T-V show "The Insider" is reporting that Pamela Bach hired Debra Opri in the ongoing
custody battle involving their two daughters. Opri represented Larry Birkhead
as part of his ultimately successful effort to prove paternity of Smith's seven-month-old
daughter, but withdrew from the case in March. Hasselhoff filed for divorce
from Bach in January after 16 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Bach filed her own divorce papers, also citing irreconcilable differences. In
May, the court awarded the former couple joint custody of their two teenage daughters.
Bach tells "The Insider" that her suit involves child and spousal support
payments. |
