Every lawyer I know agrees the verdict was correct.

Alec Baldwin's lawyers have entered the chat.

That's irrelevant to child support. Children are entitled to benefit from the income of both parents, even if the primary custodian can give them everything they ever need or want. You can bet Mark Anthony pays child support to Jennifer Lopez for their twins.

I was getting out of my car at the grocery store one Saturday morning, when a distinguished looking man with silver hair getting into his car said "Good morning." I said nothing. He repeated "good morning". I kept walking and he drove away. Then I realized, damn, that was Judge X and I just appeared before him a couple of weeks ago. To be fair, when I first started practising all judges were silver haired white men and they all looked the same to me. Now that I'm old, there is much more diversity on the bench including gender parity. And they're younger than I am.

I regret every nap I passed up as a child.

The parties each file statements of their income and expenses, but the courts cut through the fluff pretty quickly to get to what the paying party actually needs to survive, not what he likes to spend on toys, supplements and QVC. The gap between income and necessary living expenses is what the court will consider is available for child support. I have handled perhaps 3 family law matters in my career - it's hellish - but I did love cross examining a deadbeat on his expenses. "You spend hundreds of dollars a month on 'dues'. You're not a member of union are you?" "No, that's my gym membership." "Do you think that's a reasonable amount to spend on a discretionary item while your ex-wife rents a room in an old couple's house?"

Maybe the OG3 already hatched this plan. Christine is the one who has an easy legal case to initiate, since she is the only one with a minor child. But Meri and Janelle could have teamed up with her to prompt it.

Yeah he does!

"nonroutine" is an interesting adjective to describe travel. I can see prohibiting taking a child out of country without parental consent (often border and immigration authorities won't admit a child travelling with one parent, unless the other parent's consent is documented.) But the parents already live in different states, and interstate travel isn't monitored, so it's hard to imagine a prohibition on taking Truely "out of state."

Their social media shows they very much want to return to tv, including videos of the kids pleading to be back in the spotlight. That attention seeking behaviour is one of the reasons those children need to live a normal life.

A large grocery chain in Canada (the one I hate because their express lane signs say "25 items or less") sells large plastic bins with handles. They fit perfectly in their carts. You empty the bins at the checkout, then put everything back in the bins to take home. If you order grocery pickup, they pack everything in new bins and take the empty ones you bring with you. It's the only thing they do right.

Because it's rude to have a baby shower for a second pregnancy, since the parents already have the big ticket items - car seat, stroller, high chair, etc - that family members or friends might purchase as a group gift. So a sprinkle is a way to celebrate a new baby without having the big blow out bash that baby showers have become, and guests buy small things like diapers and onesies. Exceptions to the etiquette rule are when the last baby was born long ago, so the parents no longer have those items. Or twins, because they don't have two of everything. Or a baby of a different sex, because god forbid a boy wear sleepers that a girl wore. I'm tired of big blow out baby showers, especially for parents who already had a big blow out Genital Reveal Party.

Isn't the point of Snakes and Ladders that it is entirely based in luck, not skill, so the youngest player is just as likely to win as the oldest? Then little kids can learn to win and lose graciously.

Snakes and Ladders. Snakes. Apparently kids are too damned delicate and the mention of snakes scares them?

And if you're going to be stupid enough to screw around, double up on birth control.

I was about to say "thought he was one of the good ones". Then I remembered what caused the end of his first marriage.

Yes, the will should be registered at the Land Registry/Land Titles Office/Registry of Deeds, not simply "at the courthouse" as notice to any purchaser (mostly their lawyer who searches the title before purchase). You can't just call and say "Hey, put my name on the deed/title". My first year property professor was a laugh riot, but I have avoided practising property law because it is fraught with perils.

But he wasn't when they were house hunting.

All they have to do is match the camel's dental imprint to the "bite mark". It's done all the time in trials involving humans, matching bite marks on a body to the teeth of the accused. It doesn't require specialized knowledge of camels, just human flesh.

That's because we lawyers (not "us lawyers") understand the value in using as few words as necessary to convey our meaning.

If the dogs were well behaved, I wouldn't notice them. And you're welcome to have your dog's hair all over your food, keep it away from mine.

Damn, Redditors are doing a deep dive. Come on over to r/SisterWives to see slide by slide analysis, as well as the property listing when the Browns first purchased the house to see the touches Robyn has added.

I don't under the 5 bedrooms. I thought none of the kids/kidults could share a bedroom so there have to be 6 (and I thought there were 7?)

I'm not even talking about (fake) service dogs. Many stores in my area allow or even encourage dogs, as part of their marketing strategies "We're Dog Friendly, why would you leave your yippy dog at home while you run your errands? Bring them here so they can yip at other dogs while you shop". Don't get me started on the push to allow dogs on restaurant patios. At least the Department of Health hasn't repealed the regulations that say the only animals allowed inside businesses that sell or serve food are service animals. Businesses can allow pets to lie outside a patio that is accessible from the street, but they can't cross onto the patio.

I don't like dogs (I don't dislike them, I just don't care for them). And I'm damned tired of people bringing dogs the size of Shetland ponies into stores, because stores are "dog friendly". I shouldn't have to navigate my Marshalls cart around a group of dogs blocking the aisles sniffing each other, nor should dogs be sticking their noses into the shelves of merchandise including food.
