57. It's not vandalism if it's marital property.

I already mentioned that upthread.

Now, if she'd slashed the neighbor's tires, then it would be a crime because she doesn't own or co-own that property.

Marital property is co-owned. She's free to paint a car she co-owns (even if her name isn't on the title - if it existed during the marriage, it's marital property in many states - maybe all, I'm not sure) and she's free to throw out clothes that are marital property.

I know of several therapists who would disagree obamanut2012 May 2012 #81

I would enjoy hearing their argument against the studies. ZombieHorde May 2012 #83
