Fit to be my wife |
 |
Monday, May 12, 2008
A year ago, setting eyes on the man she would one day marry was the furthest thing from JAMFIT's Karelle Ashley's mind while conducting a promotion at her gym. Karelle described her initial meeting with gym member-cum-hubby Chris Jones as, an intense attraction at first sight." Offering him samples of the products on display, the two quickly struck up a conversation until Chris bought one of the juices and before leaving said, "Hopefully I will see you again sometime."

Of Bogus Qualifications… PR clueless and June Payout |
|
Monday, May 12, 2008
Now how many times have I told you that there's no place like The Rock. It's not yet official but university qualifications, yes even the bogus ones, are suddenly as important as a Jamaican passport. So can we please just drop the 'official' title?

Mommy, who is that man? |

Monday, May 12, 2008
CHILDREN are weak, helpless and defenseless innocents, something which makes them easy prey for people who may want to hurt them. It is a parent's duty to protect children from predators, and to educate them about the rules when dealing with strangers which will reduce their risks of being abused.

Abandoned wife worries about future |
|
Monday, May 12, 2008
Dear Mrs Macaulay,
I am in need of your advice urgently. I have been married since 2004 but have been with my husband since 1991 (high school). We have been separated but living in the same house since 2006. We have two children ages 12 & 15mths (yes he left me when I was pregnant). He has a girlfriend. He has rented an apartment for his other woman and goes to and fro - he sleeps over when he feels like and comes to the matrimonial home as he feels. The matrimonial home is owned by his relatives and I occupy one room with the kids. He put down money to buy food for the kids and pays the light bill. I have not spoken to him since our last quarrel and fight almost two years now and he has made no effort. I am not working and he will not give me any money. What do I do from here? When I get a job is it OK to move out of the home with my kids? I have no problem with him taking them for weekends or whenever he wants to see them but how do I go about applying for separation and then divorce? I once told him that to live his kind of lifestyle he needs to end it properly and he said he will pay a little to get rid of me. I reported it to the police at the time. What do I do now?
- Abandoned Wife
Dear Abandoned Wife,
How unfortunate that your husband chose to abandon you as his wife while you were pregnant. Though he comes to the matrimonial home sometimes, you are separated as a couple, and you are living separate and apart. It however, seems that he has not abandoned the older child or the one born after the breakdown of your marriage. You say that he "puts down money to buy food" for the children. You also say that he pays for electricity supply. He is clearly a man who recognises that he has obligations to meet, even though he is not meeting all that he should and is ignoring others.
Let me state something clearly right here -YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE AN APPLICATION FOR SEPARATION. You are already separated. You say you have not spoken to him for almost two years. This being so, I assume you have had no sexual relations with him for the same period. Since you have been separated for over 12 months, you can proceed to apply for a divorce. It seems that efforts to effect a reconciliation were not successful, because you say he has made no effort. You can, if you understand what to do under the Matrimonial Causes Rules, file your petition in person or you can retain an attorney-at-law to prepare the papers and file them for you.
