Players - Jon Wurst

Back to the bad. I have published a page on my senior lawyer, Jon Wurst in the Players section. Although certainly not as bad as Nelly Wince, Jon is a person seemingly without much of a conscious.

Players - Robert Sturdy

In honor of Father's Day I have published a page on Robert Sturdy in the Players section. Sturdy was one of the very few decent people involved with my case. 

The boys are still sleeping as I write this but I know they have something planned for me today that deals with food as they told me yesterday to not look in the freezer. The boys and I have always enjoyed cooking to an extent and this has expanded since Spring left. Okay, maybe I do most of it but they do enjoy it! Not that the food is fancy but it is creative in its own way. I take a great pleasure when they ask for scones in the morning or tell their friends that our homemade salsa is the best. 

Ethics Alarms - Unethical Rationalizations and Misconceptions

Ethics Alarm had a great (and long!) list of rationalizations and misconceptions people use to justify unethical actions.  As I have stated before, very few if any people think they are bad no matter how bad their action are. They just rationalize their bad actions away. Not deluding yourself with rationalizations is a key part being a good person. 

Ethics Alarms is an interesting site. Their mission is to examine ethical situations and problems in many areas and professions especially, not surprising given that it was founded by a lawyer, in the legal realm. Note that the homepage contains a good list of ethics sites. Check them out.  

Patent Trolls - a Glimmer of Hope

I have commented on patent trolls before as I believe their extortive patent lawsuits are, like the our family law/divorce system, an area of rampant injustice and criminal activity within our legal system. And like the divorce system it seems for every two steps forward there is 1.9 backward. A post I wrote on a recent setback in the U. S. Senate was also the subject of an Opensoure.com article. The article contains a quote by Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Ramierz which gives me some hope:

"[f]laws in the patent system are likely fueling much of the real costs associated with PAE [PAE = Patent Assertion Entity = Patent Toll] activities. ...effective monetization of low quality patents imposes a de facto tax on productive economic activity with little or no offsetting benefit for consumers. High litigation costs add to the problem by allowing PAEs to coerce targets to pay license or settlement fees that are detached from the economic value of the patents at issue. In short, PAEs exploit underlying problems in the patent system to the detriment of innovation and consumers."

Recognition of the problem is the first step. Justice can only be achieved, whether in the divorce or patent systems, if people understand the reality and extent of current injustice and the horrible human and economic costs of such corrupt behavior. This site exists to bring to light such corruption. 

Alimony Reform in New Jersey

It looks like New Jersey is making some  progress on alimony reform. Like Minnesota, New Jersey is a state with very antiquated alimony laws - laws that which only benefit the bad.

Players - Spring (Updated)

 I have updated the page on Spring in the Players section.

Divorce From Hell

The:
‘Divorce from hell’ began with $5,400 monthly alimony offer, ended with $1,500 installments
case is nearly as bad as mine. I say nearly as both Spring and Nelly Winces's wrongs were far greater and my result far worse. I do think the more articles like this that make it clear that the divorce system needs to change, the better off our society will be.
