Flint Divorce lawyer Terry Bankert looks at a development suited to the bizarre nature of Tiger Woods. His handlers on Wednesday released a statement to selected media outlets announcing plans for Woods to “discuss his past and his future” at a meeting on Friday at the PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
It also said Woods “intends to apologize for his behavior.” What could he lose in a future divorce if it were held in Flint Michigan.

Tiger has a pre nuptial agreement. If this is broken or there are assets out side the agreement a snap shot of the elements of Flint Michigan Divorce Division of property follows.
This snap shot includes
the duration of the marriage,
contributions of the parties to the marital estate,
the age of the parties,
the health of the parties,
life status of the parties,
necessities and circumstances of the parties,
earning abilities of the parties,
past relations and conduct of the parties, and
general principles of equity.
Not all of the factors will apply to any given case, nor does the court have to give equal weight to each factor.
Good Luck Tiger, you will need it.

Seconnd marrige in bigamy can be up held.
Did You Know!
By Terry Bankert a Flint Divorce Lawyer.
A Bay City Judge recently put a woman in jail for bigamy. She was also given a deadline to get her affairs in order. See:
http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2010/02/divorce_one_or_the_other_judge.html
So what is the Law?
In Michigan a strong presumption exists favoring a marriage’s validity. Once the celebration of a marriage is shown, the contract of marriage, the capacity of the parties, and everything necessary to the validity of the marriage are presumed.
The court will recognized validity of second marriage.
No fault will be found with the person conducting the ceremony. Our Courts presumption of validity of the second marriage is strong and its strength increases with the lapse of time, the birth of children, and the parties’ acknowledgment of their marriage.
We want continuity so once a marriage has been shown, the presumption is that the marriage continues.
Did you know a seven-year absence of one of the parties, however, gives rise to a presumption of death.
In the Bay City case where the wife has been married to two different people, the presumption favors the validity of the second marriage. This presumption favoring the validity of a second marriage prevails over the presumption of a prior marriage’s continuity.
The husband in the first marriage may challenge the presumption favoring the validity of a second ceremonial marriage.
He may may be rebut the presumption by a showing of facts conclusively establishing the invalidity of the second marriage.
