Dear State Legislator, One unconstitutional statute down and more to go, now for Section 46b-57. Most young parents are broke and often their break up is over money, married or not. All break ups of relationships are difficult, and for the most part, the mother who usually retains physical custody of the child or children is the one who is the most financially stressed, frequently to the point of poverty or below poverty and requiring State Aid.
Most young people have only enough skills to get a minimum wage job.
Minimum wage doesn t even pay the average rent today. That even makes food, clothing and toilet items difficult to provide. To get anything done, a lawyer wants their money up front or at the least within 60 days. Legal Aid doesn t apply in family disputes. Frequently, in divorce cases, one strategy is to starve the woman into submission.
