Quick Divorce - Cheap Online

Lawyers hear the question daily: "Can I get a quick divorce, cheap, online?" Actually, you can, in all states, so long as all applicable laws are satisfied. The body of "family law" is formed by both state and federal rules although all maters must be filed in state courts. The primary sources of family law are: 1) State Constitutions, 2) Family Codes, 3) State General Statutes, 4) Trial Court Verdicts, 5) Appellate Court Decisions, 6) Supreme Court Decisions, 7) Rules of Civil Evidence, 8) Rules of Civil Procedure, 9) Agency Regulations, and 10) Local Court Rules. All applicable laws are subject to amendment, repeal, and supplementation.

Today, even the U.S. Constitutional definition of marriage (and implicitly divorce and child support laws) are disputed. A constitutional amendment is likely even though the current proposed amendments caused bitter debate in both houses of Congress. The controversy is not whether the amendment will sway public opinion in either direction. Criticism of the amendment is two fold. First, the amendment strips power from state legislatures, state courts, and federal courts in an attempt to weaken separation of powers guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Secondly, the motive for Congressional attention focused on the definition of marriage is highly questionable during a time when global terrorism, conflict in Iraq, and conflict in Afghanistan are represented as eminent threats to national security. While the marriage debate continues catching headlines, homeland security projects remain widely unfunded, causing a bipartisan coalition of state Attorney Generals to file suits against the federal government based on failure to reimburse payment for services demanded by the Department of Homeland Security.

In effect, the amendment is little more than an election year ploy designed to divert public opinion away from administrative and fiscal responsibility for basic necessities.
