The "Hulkster's" Wife Files for Divorce

Hulk Hogan's wife filed for divorce on Monday.  Her divorce complaint alleged their marriage, "irretrievably broken."   Hogan issued a statement today regarding his pending divorce and marital break-up.  Hogan seems to have been caught off guard by the divorce complaint and is hoping everything works out in the end. 

A common, and sometimes very effective tactic, is slowing the process down.  As a defendant in divorce proceedings, it is sometimes wise to let the other side cool down.  As a plaintiff filing a divorce complaint I try not to file during major holidays like Christmas.  I see no reason to inflame emotions any more than necessary.  Of course, there are many situations where this approach is not feasible, i.e. in cases of spousal or child abuse, etc.  However, I do find that both parties are much more interested and reasonable in resolving divorce issues like property division, child custody and visitation,  and alimony when their minds are not clouded by the emotion of a new, and often unexpected, divorce petition. 

Alabama Divorce & Child Custody News

The Baldwin County, Alabama pastor whose wife disappeared at a religious conference in Louisiana received full and sole custody of his two children.  The Rev. Jason Lee's wife made news in March after walking out of a Christian Women's conference.  Her disappearance caused understandable concern and lead to widespread police searches.  She was later found to pawned her wedding ring and fled to New York.  The Alabama divorce settlement gives Rev. Lee full and sole legal custody of his two children.  The Pastor's wife will also have to pay $200 a month in child support.  The wife will get child visitation rights every other weekend and the parents will split physical custody on the holidays. 

I for one think this lady got off easy.  She abandoned her kids and fled to New York.  If not for the intense media coverage she may have never returned.  She obviously has significant mental issues and her ability to care for her children even during limited visitation periods should have been called into question.  Of course, it is always a possibility that she has a really good Alabama divorce, family law and child custody attorney and lawyer, while the Pastor does not.

Divorce Headlines

A court in India made an interesting divorce ruling today.  A court in New Delhi ruled that a person whose spouse is found to have HIV Aids is entitled to a divorce.  The court found sex to be an integral part of the marriage and the wife's HIV status prevented the husband from having a "happy married life," because they could not have sex without the fear of transmitting the disease.
