ABOLISH ALIMONY AMENDMENT PROPOSAL IS GETTING NOTICED
Sebastian, FL. - Oct. 1, 2004. --The Abolish
Alimony Florida Constitutional Amendment proposal continues to gather
momentum.
"The rapid rate of interest by the public and the press has surprised
us. We have been getting support even from people outside the state of
Florida." says Robert Sell, Chairman of the Citizens for Liberty and
Privacy.
The proposed Amendment would abolish alimony in conjunction with
dissolution of marriage. The goal is to give all Floridians an equal
opportunity to move on in their lives when they make a decision to
dissolve their marriage.
The current dissolution laws, particularly with alimony, deplete the
precious limited resources of many Floridians in the dissolution
process. Their limited assets are transferred to the legal machinery
instead of to each other or their children.
"This constitutional amendment will afford protection to the growing
number of women in the work force as the rate of two-earner families
continues to increase. This includes women who work or who have
husbands that make less than they do and are therefore at risk of
paying alimony."
"All Floridians will be protected from the ravages of the dissolution
process. The hurt incurred in the process will have finality. The
incentives for parties and their attorney to perpetuate the
dissolution process will end." All these goals can be reached with the
abolish alimony amendment says Sell.
The abolish alimony amendment will afford the economic factors at play
in the lives of all Floridians much stronger protection as well as
reaffirm the numerous constitutional rights being violated by alimony
laws.
According to Sell, other groups
around the country are looking at this Florida initiative as a way to
better the lives of citizens and minimize the extensive intrusion into
the private details of marriage caused by dissolution statutes across
the country.
