Now here's something smart: If a man keeps on having sex with his wife, he can't get a divorce.

So says Additional District Judge (ADJ) Atul Kumar Garg of New Delhi, India, in a recent ruling after a man sought separation from his wife for cruelty (she refused to carry out household chores) and misdemeanor.

I'm right behind the judge on this one.

We often hear of a man or woman complaining about their spouse, yet the fun in the bedroom still seems to be going on. If two people truly can't get along in a relationship, one would assume that there's no need to continue the affairs between the sheets.

Garg agrees. "Continuous cohabitation with the wife shall amount to condonation of the act of cruelty complained of and condonation in matrimonial cases means complete forgiveness of the act,"stated ADJ Garg when he laid down his ruling.

The act of divorce should be representative about two people who have no love or desire to live with each other. They shouldn't get along. They shouldn't be sharing intimate moments. It just doesn't make sense.

Jasbir Singh is the plaintiff requesting the divorce, and this is his second attempt to have the divorce approved by a court of law. He'd requested a divorce previously in 2003 — that didn't work, but obviously the relations between Singh and his spouse still did.

Now, five years later, Singh has had his divorce petition turned down again. Shall we all stay tuned for round three?

Perhaps the next time he seeks official separation, Singh will put chances on his side and stay away from temptation. It might help his credibility a touch.

We reported a while back that more U.S. men are seeking alimony these days, and in a recent Telegraph article, it appears that British husbands are seeking financial support, as well.

One U.K. law firms states the number of men attempting to claim a piece of their wealthy wives' assets has increases threefold in the past year.

The number of "house husbands" has doubled over the past 20 years, as more women become the breadwinner. When it comes time for a divorce, SAHDs are looking to be compensated for their efforts.

I don't know about you, but it's not really a gender issue for me. If you've dutifully served as the homemaker and helped your spouse build a successful career, aren't you entitled to some sort of support?

It looks like Jim and Dina McGreevey are back in court this morning dealing with alimony. Yes, again. Talks have broken down again and they have to go in and have the judge sort out their mess to figure out who owes what to whom. Raise your hand if you're surprised. It's OK, I'll wait.

Perhaps I am the only person on the planet who is infinitely sympathetic to Jim McGreevey. Britney Spears, too. Oh, and let's not forget the ever pleasant Heather Mills?

I love these fine, upstanding citizens because they keep being moronic and I keep getting paid to write about it. If they could get it together to act like civilized human beings I'd be looking for a job right now.

Last week they finally agreed on custody arrangements for their daughter. Lawyers are hanging out behind closed doors and the estranged couple meet this morning at 10 a.m. to try and hammer out the financial details of the divorce and generally make a spectacle of themselves.

I hope it takes a long time — my youngest needs new glasses and my oldest is looking into summer camps.

Actress Liv Tyler and musician Royston Langdon have split, says Usmagazine.com. The daughter of Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler confirmed through her rep that she and Landgon remain good friends and devoted to their 3-year-old son, Milo.

Tyler, 30, and Landgon, 36, married in 2003. Apparently, Tyler told the magazine that she "didn't believe in divorce" in 2004. Oops. Sources say she told her lawyer she married too young. Hey, happens to the best of us.

Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey and Dina Matos McGreevey reached a child custody agreement over their six-year-old daughter late Thursday, reports the Associated Press.

Although the terms of the agreement are confidential, Matos McGreevey's attorney said the settlement was amicable.

The two were scheduled to hit the courts on Monday, May 6th, but remained in closed-door talks throughout the week in an attempt to avoid a full-blown trial.

Unfortunately, all's not said and done: The two will return on Monday to hash out alimony and child support-and the most controversial sticking point: Matos McGreevey's fraud claim.

It really does seem a shame that these two might be able to work through custody, alimony, and child support, only to have to duke it out in court over a wholly gray area. If you recall, Matos McGreevey claims to have no knowledge of her ex's sexual orientation and is citing marital fraud. You know that one won't be pretty...

Robin and Marsha Garces Williams have pledged to be honest, cooperative, and respectful during the duration of their divorce proceedings, says People magazine.

In fact, they're so serious about civility, they've signed an official agreement to avoid courtroom blows and to keep the kids' interests in mind, adding "we commit ourselves to the collaborative law process and agree to seek a positive way to resolve our differences justly and equitably."

We all know divorce can be messy, but kudos to the couple for trying to get through it will grace and aplomb.

Men are hit harder by divorce. So says Statistics Canada after performing a 10-year study on the effects of divorce on both men and women.

It makes sense. Women tend to think long and hard over their decision to instigate a divorce. A psychologist once told me that women take up to seven years to decide on whether to divorce their husband or not — and that once the decision is made, there's usually no going back.

Most men seem surprised when they hear the announcement of the desire for divorce. "I never realized... I didn't think it was that bad... Divorce?" They're shocked. They haven't taken time to contemplate whether divorce is the answer.

The StatsCan study also mentions that men suffer from higher rates of depression — the rate for depression was six times higher that of women.

This too, is understandable. Women have greater support systems of friends and family. They have emotional backup to help them deal with the effects of a divorce.

Women also tend to become the main caregiver if children are involved. They have companionship, responsibilities to maintain and duties to uphold. The men? They're left with an empty home, a lack of people, and only their feelings to deal with.

It's a painful situation. Solitude, isolation, a lack of support...It sounds like a good recipe for depression to me.

However, StatsCan didn't offer much backup for the causes of the post-divorce depression rates in men. The governmental agency didn't correlate custodial losses or change in parental responsibilities as being the issue to blame.

Common sense, though? I think so. Divorce is difficult for anyone to face. The thinking patterns, life changes, and ways that men tend to cope with emotional situations offers plenty of reason for increased rates of depression.

Although it's only May of 2008, Mr. Kent Gramm is having a bad year. After 30 years of marriage and more than 20 years of teaching, Mr. Gramm is getting divorced and leaving his teaching post at the same time.

Mr. Gramm currently teaches at Wheaton College, a well known conservative Evangelical Christian school, which requires all of its employees to display behavior acceptable to the school's religious teaching.

All employees sign a "statement of faith and community covenant," which spells out exactly the kind of behavior the school will accept.

Drinking, smoking, and gambling are not on the list, and dancing was only allowed four years ago after being banned during the Civil War.

While the school acknowledges that divorce can happen, they need to know all of the details of the divorce to determine if the employee has broken his signed statement by exhibiting unacceptable behavior.

Mr. Gramm acknowledges that he signed the statement but does not believe he should have to disclose the details of his divorce. As he is aware that not disclosing the details will get him fired, he has agreed to resign and will stay only until the end of the school term.

"I think it's wrong to have to accuse your spouse and to discuss with your employer your personal life and marital situation," Gramm said. "But I don't feel badly treated. There has been an attitude of compassion here."

As the school is concerned about how the behavior of one of its teachers will affect the student body, Mr. Gramm decided to discuss his resignation and the reasons behind it with his students. "I want them to know that divorce happens," Gramm said. "That you aren't deserted by God because your life doesn't turn out the way you expect. I hope this helps them acquire a broader understanding of what Christianity is and what faithfulness means."

Linda Bollea has filed an order with Florida's Pinellas County Judicial Court — the area where the couple most recently shared a home — in an attempt to find out exactly how much the Hulk is worth.

Apparently The Hulk — or Terry Bollea to the courts— has been less than cooperative with his wife's attempts to get him to disclose his net worth.

It has been reported that if Linda is unable to get a hearing scheduled before a May 13th deadline she may lose an $840,000 deposit on a Vegas condo.

Looks like Linda is going to have to take this wrestler to the ring...

Dina Matos McGreevey and former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey's lawyers are at a standstill over allowing a former aide to testify.

Teddy Pedersen's accounts of his three-way sexual encounters with the McGreeveys may hold to key to more than $600,000 for Matos McGreevey, who claims she had no prior knowledge of her ex's sexual preference. (That being the sum she would have collected had McGreevey not resigned and she finished her term as First Lady.)

Although attorneys say they're hoping for a settlement, court proceedings are scheduled to begin May 6th.

This could get ugly.
