Okay, and I can beleive an alcoholic parent would -strongly- sway the courts
decision. I've no problem with that. Thanks for your input.

BTW (not directed at you Black Widow), I discussed my stance with my spouse
after I posted that, and she was in full concurrence that my contention is
generally correct, at least, in Texas. Her background included preparing
assets statements etc for several divorce cases her two bosses went through,
and she closely worked with the divorce lawyers. (She is not one to readily
agree with me on anything, also! <G>
Z�D!
