How to tell the spouse (bf,gf, whatever) toodaloo
I can't prove this cheap Hollywood gossip, but it appears that Britney Spears informed Kevin Federline via text message that she was divorcing him.
A video on You Tube seems to bear this out. Here is the link. In case you can't download the video, it shows Kevin being interviewed, talking about missing his children, how Britney really loves him now, that she's his number one fan, together we can take on the world...until he's at dinner with an interviewer and he's text messaging someone. He grows noticeable somber. He leaves for a half hour. All this was on Monday, the day Britney said she filed for divorce and separated from him. So text messaging. Is that the way to do it now? How about an e-mail? A process server? A letter? A face-to-face "I'm leaving you (woman, man, expletive of your choice). I did mine with a 3-page letter, which I handed to her in person. It was so I could say everything I wanted to stay, both the good things about her and the reason we were done. I knew that if I tried to say it in person, we would have gotten sidetracked and any good message would have been lost. Plus, I can't text message worth beans. But what is the modern way to say sayonara? Posted by Steve E. Swenson 10 comments from 7 users

Is it that slow a news day that we have to rehash the demise of Mr. and Mrs. Spears marriage? ;P

That's what *LAWYERS* are for, Steve.

Lawyers cost too much money and gum up the works.

Or weapons, Random. Texting may not be the "right" way to end a marriage, but there are much worse ways to end things, trust me. posted by

Steve, that's just the *BAD* lawyers, tarnishing the reputation of the other three percent.

I think the lawyers actually build up the discord between separating spouses, in order to increase their financial gains. I used to file small claims lawsuits for a electrical contractor I worked for in San Diego. It always amazed me how many people would bring their lawyers with them, even though they couldn't argue the case for them. I remember many a judge telling them if they quit talking to their attorney and just make their case, they would be much better off.

Text messaging is to blasse. It should be spectacular like when director William Wellman broke into a producer's office, dumped a wheelbarrow load of manure on his desk and planted a terrible script in the top of the mound.

My ex found out, (not that he didnt know things were disintegrating but we really didnt talk about it..) he asked me why I was going to the airport. I said I have job interviews in Oakland, Stockton and Bakersfield (we lived in L..A. and he had a very good job there).....he said, if you move anywhere where I have to fly on a plane to see my daughter I will sue you for custody.
HELLOOOOO Bakersfield. Sometimes things just work out for the best. I love this city, I adore my new husband and my ex is a good friend to both of us.
