Hi Greg,
 I think the general consensus here is that the guys with Asian ladies look at more than just the face and lovely body.  Asians tend to be more peaceful, and some guys like a peaceful woman.
Some guys like the fire and excitement of a fiery woman, and some guys just like to relax with a sweet loving woman.

Me, I like a quiet, peaceful home.

Just my opinions,

Don

Hi Don,

I used to think that my ideal woman would be a Latina with a British temperment...then I discovered Filpinas. My wife has just enough spark to keep things interesting, yet calm and peaceful.

Hi Dave,

If today is the day, it may not be very quiet and calm at your place for long -LOL

Hi Stephen,

I am sure that you must see more than your share of that in divorce court! My ex-sister-in-law and her husband (both Cuban) were going through a divorce at the same time I did. I refused to fight with my ex and we spent less than $1000 combined. They fought just for the sake of disagreeing and contested everything. They both spent thousands of dollars each and ended up getting back together a short time later, because they missed all of the turmoil. My lawyer told me that it was very common.

Yes...I agree.  And believe it or not.....I think attorneys can be a great way to throw your money away.

By refusing to fight you saved yourself a lot of money and kept from wasting a lot of emotional energy.  People don't stop and think of how much emotional energy it takes to fight!

I also have noticed that Latinas like to fight.  I think that it says to them that they are wanted if they have a man who is willing to fight with then.  Doesn't make sense to me.

I do very little divorce cases.  I just can't emotionally take it.  By the way, I have a small divorce case right now....wife is Puerto Rican and Husband is Mexican.  I went out to his house to deliver him the documents.  Ended up staying 2 hrs and having coffee with him.  He asked me if I could do something for him regarding getting visitation with the little girl.  I said, "Jesse, if you were Jesus Christ she wouldn't cut you an inch of  slack."  He said, "Yes, I know her."

Of course, it's different strokes for different folks.  Some men don't mind conflict.  I just like the peaceful part of marriage.

You know, I'm going on 3 years with Tess, and the biggest fight we've had so far is last year during the Angel/Yankee playoff.....Tess thought I was yelling for the Yankees.  She's a big Angel's fan.

Texas laws are bad enough, but what's this "do something for him regarding getting visitation with the little girl" Doesn't California have a 'standard visititaion' policy (which is the MINIMUM the non-custodial parent gets, the parties can agree to more if they want). There are cases (when abuse has been proved or a parent has a proven history of mental illness) when they might require the visitation be supervised by a social worker at a 'netural' location...and if the abuse is bad enough, visitation might be denied althogether, but you'd practicaly have to be Jack the Ripper for that to happen. I have seen cases (friends, accquantiances) of shall we say 'less than ethical' lawyers promissing their clients "Give me a lot of $$$ and I'll see you get your kids every other weekend and every Wednessday night" (anybody care to venture a guess what the Texas 'standard visitation' schedule perscribes?)

... in response to California question, posted by Michael B on May 21, 2003

I would say that a standard visitation order in California would be alternate weekends and midweek meal with the child.  Also put in a couple weeks vacation with child in the summer.

(By the way...divorce is not the proper term.  We don't have divorce.  We have dissolution of marriage.  And we don't have alimony.  We have spousal support and child support.)

Now...this particular case.....the daughter went to see dad one weekend.  She comes home and says that dad took a shower with her.  Mom called the police and they came out and did an investigation.  Nothing came of it.

This lady filed the documents and had the husband served at this work.  She then couldn't figure out what to do next....too emotional....so she hired me.

I filed an OSC re visitation and support.  I wrote a brief declaration from mom about how dad showered with the daughter.  Dad did not show up for court.....so I got mom sole legal and physical custody.  Dad must had monotored visitation.  Dad was ordered to pay $450 in child support.

Because I amended the petition I had to have dad personally served the amended documents.  So I got his address and went and served him the papers.  He told me his side of the story.  Yes he showered with the daughter, but he was in his swimming suit and the 5 year old daughter had her underware on.  furthermore, his girlfriend was there with him.  NO...I DON"T THINK WE HAVE A MOLESTATION CASE HERE.  But because he didn't show up for court the judge took everything I said at face value.  He will have to go back to court to get visitation with his daughter.

By the way, sometime I'll tell you about my Texas divorce case.  It is something you will be truly shocked by.  It's worth hearing.

Yeah, in Texas they spell out a vacation schedule and various holidays too (mother's day with mother, even if it would be father's weekend, etc), I just didn't want to go into that much detail. Well, looks like this wasn't a 'standard' case, so guess that's why he needs help.

OK, I'm ready for your story, although I doubt you will shock me, this is Texas, where they prosecuite mothers for 'sexual acts with a minor' and fathers for 'child pornogrphy' if they try to develope a roll of film with one picture on the roll of the mother breast feeding their one year old son (or maybe he was two, I forget).....actualy happend in a Dallas suburb about a month ago, she was breast feeding the new born and said "You know, we didn't  ever get any pictures of me breast feeding little Raul, hey, Raul, suck on this a minute while Daddy takes a picture and we'll send it to Grandma"....it would be funny, except that it actualy got to trial and while the circus was going on the child welfare clowns came and took both of their children into 'protective custody' and last I heard they STILL have them. Even though the parents were aquitted, the clown department wants them to pay about $5,000 (which they don't have) in 'costs' to take 'evaluations', 'phsycological profiles' and 'parenting classes' before they will give the kids back.

But fire away, we're ready for a good story.

Hi Stephen,

My attorney told me virtually the same thing! He said we could settle the property and other issues between us first and keep everything for ourselves and kids. Or we could disagree and fight, selling everything off to pay attorney fees. I did end up giving up a bit more than I wanted to, but saved tons of money in the end. You are wise to handle few divorce cases. Too emotionally draining...perhaps even dangerous!

Sounds like you might be a bit too conservative for a Latin woman.  I would disagree that Christian Latinas don't dress to kill.  I go to church with my wife and most of the women who have a figure (including my wife) wear form-fitting, cleavage showing, stomach showing outfits, even to church.  It isn't dirty if you don't think it is dirty.

I'm feeling a deep spiritual need to go to church right now :0)

Seriously, I'd say it's not dirty but it is - and I hate this word - inappropriate.  Belly buttons and miniskirts are just too distracting for the purposes of church services.
