PROTECTING PRIVACY

In court, the disgruntled father says, "I found out my ex-wife's new address, and I also FOUND OUT YOUR ADDRESS, YOUR HONOR."*

Judges, police officers, divorce attorneys, spies, all need to keep their addresses off the public data bases.

There are two times when your address can become public.

One, when you buy a house. I recommend having a living trust. Name the trust in such a way as to protect your identity. Have the trust own title to the house.

Two, getting married. In California, a normal wedding license is public, sometimes published in the newspapers. You MUST put your actual home address on a marriage license.

However, a CONFIDENTIAL MARRIAGE license does not become public. It still has your home address, but the only way to get the information on the confidential license is to have a notarized request from one of the two people who got married. Or you can get a COURT ORDER to have the information disclosed.

If you want to have a lovely, small CONFIDENTIAL MARRIAGE in the SF Bay Area, you can go to www.aweddingchapelforyou.com.

My friend Pat will marry you quickly, privately, and with affection.

It just so happens that she is opening her chapel on VALENTINE'S DAY. You DO need an appointment for a VALENTINE'S DAY WEDDING.

* The judge was cool about the implied threat, but soon the "I know your address" threats were also against anyone who helped his wife and child.
