I would be curious to know the stats about divorce from this free service.
Most of us that have been married for a while (30 years for me) know that the first couple of years are usually tough financially, if you can't afford to pay for a wedding, are you starting out with a strike against you?
I mean no offense to the people that take advantage of this or to the Judge,
I'M JUST WONDERING OUT LOUD!
When I married 25 years ago, I asked my father for $200 to pay for my wedding and gave him the date and time to walk me down the aisle.
I really felt that it was the marriage afterward that mattered more and the ceremony was just something I had to endure.
Beware when trying to recover money through the magistrate court in Lamar County. If the judge knows the person it's filed against, he'll tell them to not show for the hearing therefore giving the person trying to recover the money no further options except a lot of paperwork.
