People getting divorced these days are still fighting over who gets the house, but not like they used to.
With nearly one in six homes worth less than the mortgage owed on it, according to Moody’s Economy.com, divorce lawyers and financial advisers around the country say the logistics of divorce have been turned around. “We used to fight about who gets to keep the house,” said Gary Nickelson, president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. “Now we fight about who gets stuck with the dead cow.”As a result, divorce has become more complicated and often more expensive, with lower prospects for money on the other side. Some divorce lawyers say that business has slowed or that clients are deciding to stay together because there are no assets left to help them start over.
It's a good thing we're protecting the sanctity of this holy institution from teh gay. Fighting over who gets to make the payments on an overpriced house...only the Deciderer could fuck up the formerly rock-solid real estate market.
Suspicious fires will soon become the next growth industry.

American Women don't take their marriage vows seriously. I'm sure by observing the break down of American Society you're already aware of this.

Wow, Anonymous is a very angry man. Can't say the generalities he espouses aren't true, as it reads like the story of my life. But . . .
Anon doesn't sound like he's from these parts do he? But you're dead on that the growth industry will be the arson biz. A little gasoline, its cheap right now, a little boat or other oil mixed in, voila, Stated Value!
Some parts of Rockland and Westchester Counties in New York have already seen a real uptick in "suspicious" home fires.
