About the Book

Caution: This book contains profanity. But if your divorce was as long, or dismantling as the divorce this author has gone through, there is probably not enough room in a million books for the words you would like to use, or enough bad words to say. Divorce can be a nasty burden to bear and sometimes profanity is the only tonic you can take to ease the pain... violence is not the way.
This is just a prelude to what the book is going to end up as. It's not finished, but it will have you in stitches, if you have gone through a divorce and it's over and you are on your way to recovery.
If you are going through a divorce currently, you may start crying, and I'm sorry for that. Please accept my apology. If you are thinking about getting married, you may change your mind, and I'm sorry for that. You may want to call me and thank me, because divorce, when it's nasty is a lot more bitter than parsley, a lot more distasteful than when men are riding a bike, standing up and the chain slips and you land on your manhood. It's more disruptive than highway construction, and hits a lot harder than a gangster's backhand.
Having gone through three divorces - you may say I'm an expert on it! (But who wants to be the Champion of Broken Hearts or even the King Of Losing All Your Money, just to have the courts say, you're still going to lose, no matter what happens).
CAUTION: This book contains profanity. Let me repeat, this book contains 'graphic' profanity that is not meant for those under 18. No, let me re-state that. It is not meant for those who have not had a bad experience in a love relationship. Who was the group that did the song, LOVE HURTS? I think they meant to say, LOVE COSTS!
Maybe if I can make you laugh, you won't make the same mistakes that I did. I know you may be thinking...it could have been my fault, right? Maybe so. You get Prenuptial: A Rough Draft and let me know....

P-R-E-F-A-C-E

The reason I thought about writing this book, is several. First I hope that enough people buy it, so that I'm able to make some serious money and can take care of myself and my family, even better, I have been told by Zapis Communications owner, Lee Zapis, that everybody is writing a book, citing the books of Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Dre-Ed Lover, and others, I want to enhance my visibility as my career develops, but the main reason is, I want to firmly establish a reason to make plans, in the case of your marriage not working out the way you wish it would. I have included portions of the transcripts that happened during the nearly 5 year battle, my comments about those transcripts, and an overview of just marriage period.

I know there are going to be persons that object to prenuptial arrangements. I am sure at the top of that list, it will be lawyers. If nobody's bitchin', how are they going to make a buck? And persons who have intentions of raking you through the coals, in the event the marriage doesn't work out.

I am screaming to all of you, pre-nuptial. If you have millions, and millions, and your ticket comes to a mill for legal fees, just think, you've saved a million, right there, just in legal fees alone. I can come up with an endless list of reasons, as you will see in this book. If you've ever gone through a divorce, and it's predicted that 50% of every marriage will end in divorce, you'll be able to relate; if you're married and have no intentions of getting a divorce, you'll probably chuckle a few times, but I assure you, Prenuptial is the key, no matter what.

I am not writing this book, as a guy, who is salted toward women, nor have I become a women-hater, far from it. I don't take blame out on a whole GROUP, just because ONE person, or a handful have fucked me over, it would be tough to rebound if I thought that way, and if you're going through a divorce, or going through a 'rough' time in a relationship, to clump teachers together, or gays, or whomever, because of a handful of encounters, you will live your life bitter-everlasting, and hopefully, glancing through these pages will help you get past that.

I am leaning toward women's views, because I have custody of my sons, Orrin and David. The term used was abandonment, however WifeC, just left. I'm not fond of the terms that have been established in explaining situations, places, incidents. Words have been softened, to soften the deadliness of things. Domestic Violence, IS wife-beating, for the most part, and the woman is looked upon as the bitch, and whore, just because she was conned into a fucked up relationship. Wife beating is ungodly. To look at it any other way is a foundation for profit for someone, at the expense of someone else's life. You will find more men, leaving the scene of the crime and getting away with it. Hopefully, this book, will help bring more people to their senses and save us all time and agony.

I will say it again, PRE-NUPTIAL. No matter how much in love you are, and it's not going to happen. Yes, when the SEX is good, and the provisions are bountiful, you may be lead to think that, but if your husband thinks you are porking some other man, he's not going to want to part with any cash, that you may well deserve. If your wife feels you have found somebody that makes YOU happier than she did, at her best, you're going to wish you had a pre-nup. So, while you're madly in love, deeply rooted in passion and sexual encounters of the freak kind, communicate and negotiate a peaceful split, and look at it this way. If you go your separate ways, it will be easier, less painful, and a lot more expedient. If you STAY TOGETHER, which I "sincerely hope you do," you would have saved money you can spend on vacation, or buying other things you want, or in most cases, need. You will probably write me, and thank me, either way, so let's dig in. I want to warn you, I can be raunchy and graphic at times, but it's nothing you haven't seen on cable or at the show, so get ready for a real, real reading.

In closing, I am not going to mention any of the wives' names, nor the lawyer's names. I will mention some of my lawyers, friends and family. If you really want to know any of their names for any reason, write me, or E-mail me, or ask somebody you think may know who they are. I will give their names to people that work at the station, and you can call them, and ask them, if it's that important to you. Part of getting someone out of your system, is treat them like somebody you don't know. And at this point, I am fortunate enough NOT to have to talk to or see any of the X-wives, which was a blessing from God. I don't see any of the women in my sons, I just see my sons. I know many people have a tendency to blame their children for looking or acting like the mother or father they are no longer with, and take it out on the way they treat the kid. They even give their children NICK-NAMES, so they don't have to say the name of the child's father or mother. Children are their own people and should garner just as much respect or more than any of your other family or friends, but that's a different story. Prenuptial my friends, prenuptial......
