But why are we telling you about it? Firstly, because the same people who host Daddy Divorce Camps are in the process of putting together a Mommy Divorce Camp. And second, because while these getaways are intended specifically to help daddies, mommies and the rest of the family are supposed to benefit as well.

For about $600, attendees receive crash courses in a range of divorce-related issues — from legal and financial, to family and child matters — along with anger management and stress reduction techniques. Workshops take place to rebuild confidence and assist in the healing and closure process. Campers can also indulge in some extracurricular activities like sports, a comedy show, and poker.

The poker skills aside, it would seem enormously beneficial for at least one member of a splitting couple, if not both, to get better acquainted with the above issues — and take an anger management course or three. Also, as long as Daddy's new confidence doesn't turn into bullying, we'd much rather be dealing with a man in the process of finding himself, than one lost in a sea of fear, anger, and self-pity.

This one's definitely not an affair for the whole family. At the end of the month, Vienna will host what purports to be the first ever divorce fair.

Under the headline, "Start your life afresh," the two-day event was fashioned to help people plan their post-married lives.

Woohoo, sounds like fun! No word yet on what fair food will be available — Vienna sausages? powdered funnel cake? — but couples ready to call it quits will have access to a grab bag of expert lawyers, mediators and consultants well versed on issues of spousal rights and obligations, alimony and child access.

Fairgoers can also expect lectures ranging from a children's view of divorce to single-parenting.

Other exhibitors will include estate agents, life-crisis experts, a company offering package holidays for new divorcées and, ominously, private detective firms and DNA laboratories offering paternity tests. The archdiocese of the city of Vienna has also reserved a stand at the fair.

Seems like Vienna could use the event — nearly 50% of all marriages end in divorce in Austria, and 66% in Vienna. But, is this a trend in the making?

When preparing for pre- and post-divorce, the more resources available the better. Unfortunately, though, a "fair" mentality is bound to attract abusive marketing and merchandising tactics surrounding the business of divorce. Can you say divorce-themed throw pillows?!

For now, we'll be getting our funnel cake fix from the county fair.

Take Jermaine LaJaune Jackson, a.k.a. Muhammad Abdul Aziz, and his second wife Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza. The two split in 2005 after nine years of marriage, from which point Jermaine's been as much help as an umbrella in a hurricane.

Alejandra's broke and taking care of their two pre-teen sons, Jaffar and Jermajesty. (Jermaine has six other kids, and Alejandra two from a previous relationship with Jermaine's littlest brother, Randy.) She's now even resorted to living with Jackson's 78-year-old mother, Katherine, and says that Jermaine is responsible for $22,741 in debts and unpaid loans.

All to which Jermaine responds: "Get in line, woman!"

"I do not object to an appropriate level of child support," is his official line, according to court documents filed Tuesday as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings. "However, the reality is that [Alejandra] has knowingly misled this court into believing that I have income which I do not. I currently do not have any employment..."

"Thus I find myself in a Catch-22 situation where while I need money, I also need to be very cognizant of what employment I do undertake so as not to degrade my market value and ability to obtain legitimate work in the future. Unfortunately (and sadly), this troubling situation is very common in the entertainment industry."

Still, it's not for lack of trying. Since April, Jermaine's been in talks to team up with La Toya and Tito to serve as judges on a CBS show about the search for the next big band of brothers. We'd watch that!

He also says that he'd be happy to watch the kids if Alejandra wants to get off her butt and get a job.

Bottom, shmottom. We're sorry to report — seriously, we really are — that things have managed to go from really bad to really, really bad for Britney Spears.

Out of patience with her ridiculous behavior, the judge in Britney's custody battle is now threatening to take away visitation rights with her kids if she doesn't pull it together.

As you've surely heard, this is the same judge who threw Kelly Ripa into an existential tailspin earlier this week by wresting custody of the kids away from Spears.

"The court expressly indicates that a missed test, refusal to submit to a test or failure to respond to the testing agency's call ... shall be deemed ... a failed test," Commissioner Scott Gordon wrote in documents released yesterday.

Gordon's ruling gives the child services monitor — who's expected to supervise Brit's visits with her boys Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2 — the power stop the show "immediately" if she demonstrates any wacky behavior.

The judge has also now mandated that Spears finish "at least three individual counseling sessions" and "at least three joint counseling sessions" with K-Fed by the next court date.

We can't say we're confident about Britney's chances here, but, as we explained earlier this week, bottoming out might be the best thing for her at this point. Judge Gordon, by all accounts, is a pretty nice guy and we're sure wants the best for Britney, too.

Awful, really. Worse though is that fact that MTV — you know, the cable channel for kids — still plans to debut Britney's new single "Gimme More" on Monday! That's so wrong on so many levels, we honestly don't know where to begin.

Charlie Sheen is seriously paying for his sins of the ‘80s at the hand of ex Denise Richards. Now the out-of-work actress is trying to take away Sheen's overnight privileges with the couple's two daughters, and airing some foul-smelling laundry to do it.

According to court papers filed by Richards this week and obtained by Access Hollywood, Sheen is still exhibiting "inappropriate behavior... and conduct," including "his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts."

Richards' criticism extends to Sheen's new fiancée, Brooke Mueller, who, according to Richards, drummed up press for her marriage with Sheen at the expense of the children. In the filing, Richards claims Sheen and Mueller told her they "did it for the press... he wanted to get the cover of People and Us magazine."

Richards even managed to bring her nanny into the action. In a declaration included in the court filing, the nanny, Diana Alvarez claims she witnessed Sheen hitting the family dogs, and threatening to hit the couple's daughter Sam. Alvarez also alleges Sheen "yells... and routinely curses" in front of the children, and "completely ignores" the youngest daughter Lola.

Just so we're on the same page, last month Richards was lambasting Sheen for his lack of discretion because of statements he made in the press. This is just more proof that basic principals of reason go entirely out the door during a nasty divorce. There is no way we've heard the last from Richards on this one, as the out-of-work actor has plenty of time on her hands to make life miserable for Sheen.

"Their marriage has been dissolved," Andrassy's lawyer, Russell Ferraro Jr., told the Associated Press on Monday. Norman's lawyer, Martin L. Haines, III, said his client hoped the settlement "will quell some of the emotionalism that's been part of this case."

While the terms of the deal remain sealed, Laura stands to receive the proceeds from the sale of their $21-million Jupiter Island mansion in Florida, along with a share of Norman's $500-million fortune.

Not looking back, Norman dating tennis great Chris Evert (pictured here), who also recently divorced.

Norman and Andrassy still have to return to court to determine how they will split the tax liability on Norman's jet and whether Andrassy is entitled additional money she claims she lost because of delays in the divorce proceedings.

These are just a few things that — if we were advising Britney Spears — we might suggest to distract the world from her recent "comeback" at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Sadly, though, the queen of pop, as in the sound something makes when it explodes, collapses, or "snaps," has decided to refocus her attention — and the media circus that follows her every move — on K-Fed. Terrific.

Out of the blue, Spears has called for a meeting with her grub-like ex to bring some closure to their divorce and custody settlement.

She wants to "put an end to this public debacle," a source close to Spears is telling People magazine.

Good luck with that.

True to form, the Fed is reportedly holding out for more cash. "Kevin [has] refused," the source tells People. "He needs more money so he's determined to win this."

Spears already pays Federline $20,000 a month in spousal support, but the aspiring pimp is reportedly broke as a result of 'business expenses,' according to court documents filed in August.

That's why it's so hard to now learn — after nearly a year of silence - how Witherspoon was so completely overwhelmed by her split from fellow actor Ryan Phillippe.

"Right around Christmastime I was sitting in a parking lot and I felt like I just couldn't get out of the car," she says in the October issue of Elle magazine. "And I thought, OK, half of the parking lot has dealt with [a breakup]."

"There's this moment in Walk the Line where June Carter says, 'I was never aware of how much I was seen.' I was very aware of how much I was seen. It was this moment of self-discovery and loss of identity and who was stepping out of the car — you know?"

It's easy to recommend wearing divorce like a loose garment, but the impracticality of that exercise only hits home when we hear of someone as strong as Witherspoon wilting under the pressure.

On top of all the lawyers, the fighting and the bitterness, there's that realization that divorce has become part of your identity — ingrained in your being. Sure, Witherspoon literally had the world watching on, but divorce, as her experience shows, can overwhelm even the best of us.

Resolution seems to have finally arrived for golfer Greg Norman and his wife of 25-years, Laura.

The two — who've been slogging through a nasty $500 million divorce — signed divorce papers this week in a Florida court, and agreed to divide their vast business empire.

While the terms of the deal remain sealed, Laura stands to receive the proceeds from the sale of their $21-million Jupiter Island mansion in Florida, along with a share of Norman's $500-million fortune.

Last we heard from these two, their camps were battling over arguably defamatory accusations that Norman had cut off Laura from her home and credit cards.

Some minor matters are yet to be resolved — like who's responsible for the tax liability on their private jet — but the ex-pair seem ready to put the whole mess behind them. Press reports noted both Norman and Laura appeared emotionally shaken in court. With the heat of the battle over, it looks like these two are beaten and bruised.

Richards is screaming bloody murder over a statement Sheen sent out earlier this week concerning their ongoing custody battle, telling the TV show "Extra": "I was disappointed to learn of my ex-husband Charlie Sheen's current statement regarding our personal affairs. This was and should still be a private matter that we as responsible parents settled privately."

Sheen's earlier statement expressed frustration over the type of supervision that Richards is subjecting him to when his daughters come to visit. "Until I'm granted the ability to hire my own nanny, she is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her ‘assistant' was a suitable replacement."

Sheen went on to label his ex's actions as "transparent and unnecessary sanctions, that have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control," adding, "As long as I am forced to live under these conditions with my children, people are going to hear about it."

A couple of weeks ago, Sheen alleged Richards is making it difficult for him to have more a more open custody arrangement with the couple's two daughters because she wants another baby with him. Sheen is about to be remarried. Maybe that's another reason why Richards is so upset.
