405. Only in really old-fashioned chauvanistic marriages.

If you're claiming that the only one who had any input into decisions as to having kids was the guy and he then forced the mother to stay at home and take care of them, then yeah, 'the working parent decided it'. If both partners actually were partners, and not some caricature of 'Father Knows Best' out of the 50s, then both partners decided it together.

You can't simply allow one of them to wash their hands of responsibility for the decisions made unless you really are claiming it was a one-sided relationship and one partner was dominated by the other.

I certainly would like for people to do what they can to help out their former partners, heck, it would be great if they could even work through their differences and stay together. But I'm not going to buy into the worldview that women have no agency to make their own decisions, and should be tied to former partners forever, even if only financially. That's a Rightwing worldview.

On the left, the response should be 'strengthen the social safety net'. If anyone, including an ex-wife (or ex-husband), is unable to afford to live with dignity, help them to do so, and help them learn skills and find employment that will let them not only live with dignity, but even live better than whatever the safety net provides.

WTF? Alan Grayson's estranged wife is getting food stamps [View all] cali Oct 2014 OP

Divorce jehop61 Oct 2014 #1

I am sorry but she is not getting $120,000 a year. dilby Oct 2014 #2

Why doesn't she give Grayson the kids like he wants? Why isn't she working? nt valerief Oct 2014 #4

Did she have 5 kids with her "real husband" dilby Oct 2014 #7

Sorry, but I updated the post before I saw your response. I found out she eventually valerief Oct 2014 #8

WHO Was Her Real Husband?? ChiciB1 Oct 2014 #34

Some guy named Carson. I forget his first name. She was married to Grayson for years valerief Oct 2014 #35

Which in effect means she was never married to Grayson and is the basis for his claims now stevenleser Oct 2014 #107

I don't know what if anything he's giving her. I think he might want his kids. valerief Oct 2014 #196

Agree in general. I won't take anything from her at face value after the abuse lie stevenleser Oct 2014 #227

Wow. nt TBF Oct 2014 #12

You are going to take away the kids she gave birth to TBF Oct 2014 #24

You're going to leave the kids with someone who conveniently lied for years that she was already stevenleser Oct 2014 #57

We have no idea who to believe here - TBF Oct 2014 #66

There is an article in the Orlando Sentinel that explains it all. She lied and she knew she lied. stevenleser Oct 2014 #68

That is Alan's lawyers interpretation - TBF Oct 2014 #78

And will be very easy for the courts to verify and thus highly likely that they are correct. stevenleser Oct 2014 #109

If she gave up the kids she is giving up the only leverage she has when it comes to a divorce. dilby Oct 2014 #28

If she was still married when she and Grayson "Married" then she and Grayson were never married. stevenleser Oct 2014 #58

Are you sure it isn't just a case of his lawyers finding a t not crossed on her first divorce? kcr Oct 2014 #60

Apparently not since she then went back and got a divorce from her first husband. stevenleser Oct 2014 #61

Still doesn't explain the 29 years that have passed kcr Oct 2014 #62

Here is the article in the Orlando Sentinel that explains it. She lied and she knew she lied. stevenleser Oct 2014 #67

THat is an article about Grayson's accusation. kcr Oct 2014 #69

And it refers to court documents he provided that are easy for the court to look up. stevenleser Oct 2014 #71

I'm not on anyoen's side. I'm simply not knee jerk jumping to defend Grayson kcr Oct 2014 #73

You are clearly on the wife's side. There is no evidence supporting her and plenty supporting him.nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #74

I'm on anyone's side if their spouse is trying to screw them over on a technecality kcr Oct 2014 #75

A technicality? Lying about being married and getting married again? Wow... stevenleser Oct 2014 #84

To quote you,but reversing the gender, "That is HER story" & you are buying it hook line and sinker stevenleser Oct 2014 #88

Its obviously about gender for you. I'm following the facts. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #93

This time. I withheld judgement initially with the abuse allegations. Then we found out she lied. stevenleser Oct 2014 #105

Then you remember it wrong. She lied, she got caught, she dropped the allegation. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #114

That allegation comes from someone who we know has lied in accusations against him several times and stevenleser Oct 2014 #104

So she is lying that she qualifies for food stamps and free lunches at school? dilby Oct 2014 #113

No, no and no. stevenleser Oct 2014 #118

No I am talking about a human being who he was with for 29 years. dilby Oct 2014 #132

And lied and committed fraud to enable that relationship of 29 years. The time makes it worse not stevenleser Oct 2014 #134

He did not seem to notice for 29 years. dilby Oct 2014 #139

That's the point of fraud and deception. To deceive. You make my point. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #141

So should he have to pay for his illegitimate kids? dilby Oct 2014 #151

Are you the type that says things like "Marriage is just another form of prostitution?" kcr Oct 2014 #131

No, and that has nothing to do with this discussion. stevenleser Oct 2014 #133

It has everything to do with it kcr Oct 2014 #144

Nope, I won't let you hijack the discussion down a meaningless tangent. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #145

Again, now you are just spinning for the sake of spinning. Admit you are wrong and move on. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #135

No. I'm just being a typical human being with ethics and a conscience. kcr Oct 2014 #140

If you have ethics and a conscience, you are ignoring them here. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #142

While others aren't trying at all. Where's the evidence she lied about that? kcr Oct 2014 #243

As I keep telling you, your narrative doesn't work because she hid it. Here's proof... stevenleser Oct 2014 #245

No kcr Oct 2014 #249

Yes. stevenleser Oct 2014 #250

That's what they should have done. kcr Oct 2014 #257

No. They thought she was divorced kcr Oct 2014 #279

And that means their marriage was never valid and both know that so why are they filing for divorce? stevenleser Oct 2014 #281

Because it's a good faith marriage kcr Oct 2014 #283

Right, everything about this smacks of good faith from both sides. Yeah, thats the ticket. stevenleser Oct 2014 #284

It is very infrequent. And it is completely rare to lie about it with your new partner. stevenleser Oct 2014 #262

But again. No evidence of the lie kcr Oct 2014 #263

The evidence of the lie is there in her efforts to proceed with a divorce where no marriage exists. stevenleser Oct 2014 #266

But why do that? kcr Oct 2014 #268

For one reason. Because he didn't know, and she hoped to get a big divorce settlement. stevenleser Oct 2014 #276

She hoped for this in 94? kcr Oct 2014 #277

Nope, in 94 she hoped nothing would ever go wrong and her lie would never be discovered. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #278

So why file again? kcr Oct 2014 #280

I already explained. She filed for divorce from Grayson because she thought no one would find out stevenleser Oct 2014 #282

It would make even more sense to do nothing at all if she wanted no one to find out kcr Oct 2014 #285

The point is this: She doesn't HAVE to live with Mold. IdaBriggs Oct 2014 #496

He isn't doing a damn thing about it. On purpose. kcr Oct 2014 #497

You keep repeating the same stuff, and now I am, too. IdaBriggs Oct 2014 #529

The fact that she can fix it is irrelevant kcr Oct 2014 #532

No, it is NOT irrelevant. IdaBriggs Oct 2014 #537

Yes, it is. He should be maintaining that house and he isn't kcr Oct 2014 #543

You're arguing with someone who is not interested in the facts here. stevenleser Oct 2014 #549

I was a little slow on the clue train. IdaBriggs Oct 2014 #555

Irrelevant? kiva Oct 2014 #564

So you support slumlords who do not perform the necessary repairs on buildings they own. dilby Oct 2014 #499

Actually, I can tell her to fix it now, and send him the bill.... IdaBriggs Oct 2014 #533

Why don't you then? n/t kcr Oct 2014 #547

I doubt she had to call a reporter. tammywammy Oct 2014 #426

Are you missing the point? She can walk a reporter around the "moldy place" IdaBriggs Oct 2014 #493

Excellent point. You would think she would have an estimate to show us. It doesnt cost anything to stevenleser Oct 2014 #432

you said: But she has no interest in actually getting the mold removed LawDeeDah Oct 2014 #440

Actually taking the history of someone's actions into account allows you to do that, yes. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #441

I'm in the construction business. If I had a dollar for every time someone threw "mold"around as a . Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2014 #574

Was she asked to show an estimate? If not, it might not have occured to her to whip one out. kcr Oct 2014 #442

Damned right. We need Democrats, period. This is exactly the wrong time to withdraw DU support! ancianita Oct 2014 #477

Well, the reasons may be complex. I won't say what I think the reasons MineralMan Oct 2014 #481

The Party is more important than one Candidate. dilby Oct 2014 #502

Bad apple? You presume standards that used to be off the table, now put front and center by cowards ancianita Oct 2014 #510

Supporting dems does not have to mean supporting acts one finds abhor ant. kcr Oct 2014 #544

no clue what the whole truth is but.... steve2470 Oct 2014 #447

I've contacted the Florida Attorney General's office to find out if they plan to prosecute Lolita stevenleser Oct 2014 #483

Good luck with that Republican's 'timely response.' I wonder if Nejame has contacted her, as well. ancianita Oct 2014 #484

Are you rubbing your hands together in eager anticipation? n/t kcr Oct 2014 #494

crikies, that's borderline worrisome, stevenleser. LawDeeDah Oct 2014 #504

It explains a lot n/t kcr Oct 2014 #506

"Christmas present." What a trifling interpretation toward someone who has made the best case ancianita Oct 2014 #517

Best case? I and others disagree. You can have your opinion tho, that is quite fine. LawDeeDah Oct 2014 #535

I've said it to dilby and I'll say it to you. Support your fellow Democrats and stop falling for ancianita Oct 2014 #540

I've actually gotten a couple of nice PMs from DUers thanking me for taking the time to go through stevenleser Oct 2014 #546

is grayson pm'ing you what to say, lol. come on steven, you can tell us seabeyond Oct 2014 #565

Not cool. ancianita Oct 2014 #568

Cool or not, I think it is relevant enough for me to ask. seabeyond Oct 2014 #572

A joke about it is relevant. To ask if he's speaking for another DU'er who's more than capable ancianita Oct 2014 #573

Nope, but I've reached out to his folks. He was on my show last year around this time if you recall. stevenleser Oct 2014 #569

No. I do not recall. Though I am not surprised with your manner of defense. seabeyond Oct 2014 #571

They are. DU history is also that Democrats support their candidates near voting time. ancianita Oct 2014 #567

If I didn't know better I'd say someone was on Grayson's payroll. cherokeeprogressive Oct 2014 #519

By the same logic, are you implying we have Republican employees in this thread? IdaBriggs Nov 2014 #582

This might be the first time I've ever seen someone post over 100 times in a single thread... cherokeeprogressive Nov 2014 #585

I am glad you know better. IdaBriggs Nov 2014 #586

Be sure to ask them to investigate how she benefited. dilby Oct 2014 #559

No. nt stevenleser Oct 2014 #570

Proves my point. dilby Nov 2014 #575

Actually, it doesn't prove your point. IdaBriggs Nov 2014 #583

Thank you. Glad for all your persuasiveness and new information here. ancianita Nov 2014 #589

do you view women as property? dilby Nov 2014 #594

And now you are insulting ME by implying I think women are PROPERTY? IdaBriggs Nov 2014 #602

Did you ask for prosecution of Mr. Carson, too? nt msanthrope Nov 2014 #578

it's not about him being a millionaire ALBliberal Nov 2014 #580

She does not have that 10 thou a month, Alan pays that directly. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #587

i do not know about hte house, the shape it is in, what is required, if she can hire, seabeyond Nov 2014 #607

How is this relevant? True Blue Door Nov 2014 #593

Has the truth about this come out yet? Has this harmed one of the ONLY real liberals in our randys1 Nov 2014 #601
