In a bill that should be named the Lawyer Full Employment Act, Fort Worth Republican State Representative (already cringing, huh?) Matt Krause is filing a bill to do away with no-fault divorce in Texas.

Yeah, divorce should be a battle, with finger pointing, blame, recriminations, drama, and tons of lawyer time, dammit. It should also be as hard on the kids as possible.

Krause also wants to extend the waiting period from 90 days to 180 days because a fella might need another 90 days to convince his wife that she needs some beating.  And the lawyer needs more money.

Krause is a graduate of Christian Heritage College and Liberty University Law School.  Yeah, surprise, surprise, he’s a lawyer.

He says the bill will keep families together.  How, you ask?  One of his supporters, summed it up:

“It may lower the amount of people getting a divorce because I think they will learn to not be able to afford it.”

Yeah, only rich people should be allowed to divorce.
