I was contacted by a potential client today who had an all too familiar sob story.  His “wife” had hired someone in Mexico to do a fast Mexican divorce.  She was given final papers.  She got remarried.

Years later her supposedly ex-husband wants to get remarried and to make a long story short, the Mexican Consulate informed them that the divorce was not valid.  They had been scammed.

Now I have to explain to this poor gentleman on the phone that he is not actually married.  His marriage is void as per public policy, which is a fancy way of saying that he isn’t married.

His wife needs to hire a New York licensed attorney to do her divorce, rather than some scam artist in Mexico.  Once she gets a valid legally binding divorce, then she can marry the gentleman on the phone, who she thinks she is married to.

The New York Times recently released an op-ed articles discussing Sandra Bullock’s divorce from Jesse James.  The author used Sandra Bullock’s divorce from her adulterous husband and her recent Academy Award for Best Actress to pose a philosophical question about happiness.  I personally thought the article was in bad taste.

Sandra Bullock is obviously going through a very challenging personal time and she is very emotionally vulnerable.  Catching your husband cheating on you is an extremely painful shock.

More recent news reports recount Jesse James fleeing a sex addiction rehab center, Sierra Tuscon, after Bullock refused his phone call.  Allegedly he wants to save the marriage, but Bullock has decided to call it quits.

Luckily Sandra Bullock had a pre-nuptial agreement that protected her assets in case of divorce.

Mel Gibson did not have a pre-nuptial agreement.  Costly mistake Mel.

Mel Gibson and his soon-to-be-ex Australian wife, Robyn Moore, are selling their Malibu family mansion for $16 million dollars as their divorce enters its final phases.  Gibson has been forced to carve up his estate and assets throughout his long-standing divorce proceedings.

Gibson’s divorce could have been a lot faster, cheaper and less painful for his family had he and Robyn had the foresight to enter into a pre-nuptial agreement before taking the plunge to get married.

While $16 million dollars may seem like a lot to some, Mel Gibson has earned at least $1 billion, yes that was a “b,” in his career as an Hollywood actor, director and producer.

Still, if it were me, I would rather not have to sell my mansion because I lacked the good sense to enter into a prenup to split the proceeds with my soon-to-be-ex-wife.  We all know that Mel could have afforded to hire the most prestigious divorce and family law firm to represent him in entering a prenuptial agreement.

Mel Gibson has already has had a daughter with his Russian girlfriend, pianist Oksana Grigorieva.  Sounds like it’s time to reach a settlement Mel…

There placing the mansion on the market hints that Mel and his Australian wife, Robyn Moore, have reached a divorce settlement agreement.

The press just released the story that John and Elizabeth Edwards have legally separated, after their marriage had been under the media microscope during the last two Presidential campaigns.

Mr. Edwards admitted last week, after a long cover up, that he fathered a child in 2007 with another woman, Rielle Hunter, outside his marriage.  The child will be turning 2 years old next month. He had previously fervently denied the accusation, especially when accusations arose during his Presidential campaigns.

The legal separation came as a result of Mrs. Edwards discovering the truth regarding Mr. Edwards and Ms. Hunter.

Sadly, as if the story could not get any worse, this news comes to Mrs. Edwards after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Andrew Young, a former aide, is releasing a book about the affair between Mr. Edwards and Ms. Hunter.  Mr. Young had once claimed that the baby girl was his to save Mr. Edwards from the political fallout associated with the revelation.  His book is also sharply critical of Mrs. Edwards and asserts that she sought to publicize her cancer for political gain.
