They are not helping abuse victims by doing this.
I had to help my daughter get a restraining order against a boyfriend 4 years ago ... so I am sympathetic to the issue.
These people are using a questionable finger issue to furthur their cause is a joke to all abused women out there ... what a joke. Even the worst offender is allowed to work and live their life ... just no contact and this is a stupid who knows what finger injury ... I'm going to blast them.

If you lie in court it's also just as dangerous for her. It's really unfair to make this an indictment of all women. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of men out there who have filed frivalous lawsuits. The difference is, men DO beat their wives and men are stronger than women. If they weren't then you'd probably see just as many men like the one who Elizabeth Taylor married.
Yeah really good point, I mean woman just have too much power
Yeah would be, BUT she tried to avoid court according to Moss' agent and TWO other lawyers her lawyer talked to at seperate times. What she wrote on the Restraining Order would be very hard to prove is a "lie" since it is so vague.
The police are not going to take a report on just that statement she wrote in the restraining order. The would ask her specific questions and if she lied then she would have charges filed on her. If it goes to court (and I think she will need a new lawyer since I beleive hers may end up being disbarred) oh wait it CAN't because she NEVER filed a police report. I am sorry but that is BS. LIke otheres said, You don't contact attorneys before filing a police report or wait 8 days to fie a restraining order if you are in fear. Money will not make you less "fearfull" of someone.
The calls are easily traceable and I think it is beyond doubt that the calls occurred. What was said or who said what first is irrelevant. What is relevant is the timeline. Sorry I investigate things for a living and while I would like to know what the "horseplay" was there was NO VISIBLE INJURY caused. The hospital found NOTHING. Sorry it doesn't make any sense for a victim of a crime to act like that. If she was a victim of DV she might not file for the Order right away, that happens, but you don't have your lawyer talk for days about MONEY if you re in fear, that is a shakedown. Heck even her lawyer says they were talking about money, he just says they mentioned it first! Who the hell cares? That is BS my friends period.
I have investigated thousands of DV cases and I am well aware that men cause more PHYSICAL injuries to women, BUT you would be surprised the number of women that are the aggessors in a DV case. Not equal to men at all but more than you think. By the way I CANNOT STAND men that beat up or degrade women at all it is one of my pet peeves along with pedophiles.
Try a divorce lately.
I agree. What I don't like is using isolated cases such as these and applying them to all women, creating the perception that when a woman comes forward with allegations she is usually lying.
Who is doing that here?
I totally agree with you, and I also think that it's unfair that women tend to be forgiven for violence against men because men are generally stronger and are expected to be able to defend themselves. In my mind, there is something worse about the strong picking on the weak, but women should be held accountable for their actions against men and in our culture there's far to it much leeway when it comes to women being violent against men (it's still acceptable in movies for women to slap men for saying something rude for example). But what I meant was the number of women who abuse the public sympathy for women who are battered by falsely accusing men is small relative to the number of women who are actually battered and say nothing for fear that people will doubt their credibility.
I didn't say anyone was. But I was referring to some who say "this reflects badly on women."
Well, it does... Domestic violence is a major, major issue in America... But if women keep "crying wolf" in this type of widely known forum of public opinion... Then what you're afraid of is unavoidable.
If the roles were reversed, I have no doubt in my mind that men would do the same kind of thing. But the point is, the roles aren't reversed... So we will never see things from that perspective as a nation.
You are 100% right that the vast majority of instances of domestic violence go unreported... But when a group that claims it is trying to help stop domestic violence does something like this, people have no choice but to judge...
After all, this group has annointed itself as a group of spokespeople for women subjected to domestic violence... It is solely their responsibility to make sure their actions do nothing to set back their supposed cause...
Ok, what's your point, the spouse gets half? .
??: If your case is deemed "frivolous," then you can be held liable for your opponent's court costs as well as your own. IIRC, this happened to that crazy judge in DC(?) who sued over a pair of pants.
Tommysgirl: It might help if our legal system could adjust itself also. The amount of money awarded for frivolous and non frivolous law suits is absurd. The sad part about the half a million? It's not even something that absurd for her to be able to get.
