divorce360.com. Public Perceptions, Endorsements and Talk at Issue in Celebrity Divorces As a result of the need to protect their names and reputations, celebrities will fight harder than the average couple, said John C. Mayoue, of Warner, Mayoue, Bates & Nolen, P.C. in Atlanta. Mayoue has represented Marianne Gingrich in her divorce from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; Jane Fonda and baseball star David Justice. “The most valuable asset, generally, is their good name and they will do all they can to protect and promote it,” Mayoue said. Add to the fact that they can spend more money to achieve the results that they want, and celebrity divorces seem to increase in intensity, he said. “Certainly money will solve a lot of problems, and celebrities will pay more if it means getting a desired result, quickly and without adverse publicity,” Mayoue said.

It`s raging. It`s also the most raging issue” in divorce law. “The day of the private eye peering into a window is mostly gone,” he said. “This electronic information is so much better. It`s the most compelling evidence in terms of financial wrongdoing, in terms of affairs – someone in their own words saying things they`d never say in court. ‘Hey, I`m worth $1 million. Hey, I`m having an affair.’ People are more likely to be caught than ever before.” But, Mayoue adds, “the vexing issue is that of privacy. How was that evidence retrieved?”

CNN.com. Custody of Frozen Embryos “The ethical questions, of course, are so profound because we want to know everything, from what we consider embryos to what right we have to make use of them. In one sense, persons considered embryos as either a form of life, or they’ve been called something as a potentiality for life. And then the moral questions are very deep as to how much control private citizens have over the future use of another’s life. Other questions that come to mind, in the context of persons wishing to dispose, which is a somewhat offensive term, of embryos. Should we as a society, require that those embryos be put to a public use, such as stem cell research, or a use such as their donation to infertile couples? Those questions, of course, are very deep. You get into other questions, such as should a person – and obviously it takes two to create an embryo – should a person who has been a part of this creation have no voice in the future use of the embryo. For example, if I am the sperm donor, should a biological child be born from my sperm over my objection?” John C. Mayoue in regard to a New Jersey man being barred by the Supreme Court of having frozen embryos that he and a former wife created implanted into his new wife”

KICK NUMBER 1! Cobb County Superior Court Judge Dorothy Robinson ruled that Newt must answer each and every one of the 50 questions posed to him – otherwise Newt will get kicked harder this time with court sanctions including, hopefully, contempt of court.
