He's also an artist, right?

I remember this one well

Clara Harris, Texas woman who ran husband over in front of mistress, completes parole

HOUSTON, Texas -- Clara Harris is no longer under the watch of the Texas criminal justice system, for now.

Parole for the woman behind one of the Houston area's highest-profile murders expired on Friday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The former Friendswood dentist was convicted in 2003 for hitting and killing her husband, David Harris, with her car the year before in the parking lot of a Nassau Bay hotel. The whole act was captured on camera by a private investigator whom Clara Harris hired to follow her husband.

She was sentenced to 20 years in prison but was released on parole in 2018 after serving 15 years.

** If I remember correctly her daughter was in the car with her, she ran his arse over then backed up and ran over him again.

The best advice my wife and I followed was to do a post nup and we've updated it through the years. We are still on the same page that there is the relationship (how we feel about each other) and the marriage (the fiscal integration of our lives) and the two are separate.

But the worst divorce I saw was not quite a friend but a solid colleague who started doing a lot of extra at work, trying to suddenly advance but didn't have the skills or personality to do it (think an IT guy who was great technically but suddenly wanted to be head of external sales but could barely get through a client meeting). I guess his wife was racking up debt, maybe on pills, but he kept throwing money away. I think it took like 4 or 5 years to get the actual divorce, he gained like 100 pounds and she looked methy.

They both are in sketchy jobs and sketchy places to live. I think he married a girl (the one he divorced) who he always thought was out of his league - his wife was dull and dim - and just tried to do whatever she wanted.

He would not go for therapy to help himself even when people offered to help him. He lost a LOT of money.

You might want to change the terminology to the military brother “was stationed overseas.“ When I first read the story, I thought the military brother had been put in jail overseas. As a result, it took me a second or two to make the Biden connection.

I don't understand how one could even drag this out

The wife firing and hiring her lawyer is a great recipe for dragging anything out. Don't like the business valuation provided on hubby's business? Fire the valuation firm, hire another one, too.

I get that, I’m just talking about in that specific situation. If I’m a judge and a couple came to me and one of them says that the kid isn’t theirs, I’d mandate a paternity test before I’d even listen to anything else.

i'm very fortunate to not have a lot of divorce stories in my life.


one of my best friends was a bit of a doozy.

he was military and she was a nice Christian girl. he had sewn a lot of wild oats during his military times, but settled down and wanted to behave himself.

early in the marriage he's expecting the wild sex he was used to from his younger days and she just wasn't down with it. it wasn't a good marriage from the outside but he was very successful and she stayed home, helped him run his business and raise kids.

first he got caught paying for webcam sex where the chick recorded him and then blackmailed him.

then he got caught sleeping with his assistant. didn't want a divorce, but he also didn't want to give up the young 20 YO sex he was having.


i'm counseling him and beating him over the head on this because we're in Church together and I just really don't like divorce in the church

decides to go to a sex addict conference. literally picks up a hooker on his way there. goes through the conference and comes back a changed man. wife takes him back

about a year later we go out to dinner with them and he's very distracted and disinterested.

next day says he wants a divorce. turns out he was now banging two girls at his office.

1.5 year long proceedings and he keeps his business, house, boat, raptor, and BMW.

Basically buys her a house for the kids and then goes off and marries a former beauty pageant queen in less than a year.


not exciting, but all i got.

I understand, but the man can't mandate anything. The court has to order it. If she requests a continuance due to lawyer changes, it'll be granted, take weeks or months to schedule, another discovery period for the new layer, etc.

That's why I said "if I was a judge", not "if I was the father". The poster said that she was pushing for alimony and trying to take him for everything he had while simultaneously refusing a paternity test.

Lawyers play a really dirty trick on their clients by stoking up the emotions so that people who used to love each spend thousands of dollars in profit for the lawyers fighting it out. The most amicable divorces I have seen were settled without getting attorneys involved. Lawyers are right there with car salesmen as far as being slimy and disgusting people go.


Complete bullshite.

When your initial fee is gone the lawyer wants nothing more than to get your whiney, call the office every 15 minutes arse on down the road.

I had divorce clients that were so bad I wrote them a check for whatever they paid me and met them at the front door with said check and their file and told them not to ever contact me again for any reason.

Divorce (especially ones involving children) bring out the absolute worst in people.

And if a lawyer has done divorce work for say 15, 20, 25 years that individual has some sort of personality disorder as well.

wife was cheating on him....They tracked and documented this for months


From what I understand, cheating has no bearing in a divorce. Heard a lawyer say that in Louisiana, cheating doesn't change anything. Perhaps a lawyer can verify?

Same for me. However, the first 2 years after divorce was a fricking nightmare. She did everything possible to make my life miserable. We get along fine now though, and I have been dating a woman 14 years younger than me for 6 years. Absolutely the coolest chick I have ever known, and we have only had one fight during that timeframe. The fight was 100% the result of me being an a-hole.

this is correct, a lot of misconception on here about that, and a lot of BS "well I had a padnuh who caught his wife cheating... got the kids... she pays alimony and child support blah blah blah"
