My only comment on this thread is that I know Dr. Weir personally. In fact, he lives 15 minutes from me and we have been good friends since high school. I can personally vouch for everything he said. His story is completely true. His x-wife and her brother, the police officer and his cop co-worker buddies, screwed him bad. Although he is a somewhat strong willed and an opinionated person (so what?), I have never seen one bad or violent or even dishonest bone in his body. He's one of the cooler people I know in life. Also, we are in Michigan, which has some of the strongest (worst) domestic violence laws in the country (i.e. if she says you did it... you are guilty until proven innocent for all intense purposes).

I, myself, never had any doubts whatsoever about Dr. Weir's story. I believe it 100% and I don't even know the man.
I know we are getting off topic here, but I want to add my 2 cents on this matter.
Dr. Weir , your ex did that only so that you couldn't get custody of the kids when you filed for divorce. That was the whole purpose behind that stunt she pulled.
Domestic violence laws are not any better in Pa. In fact, I'm willing to bet they rank right up the with Michigan.
Let me tell you a quick story about my one friend and his now ex-wife.
One night they had a really bad argument. She got really pissed off and came after him with a knife from the kitchen!!
Not wanting to confront her or do anything stupid he ran out the door only in his underwear and came to my house at about 2am.
He told me he needed to borrow a pair of pants and shirt so he could go to the police and report her.
He went to the station, told his story and returned home with the officer.
His ex is one of those people who can suddenly get a nose bleed.
My friend and officer go into the house where she is crying and upset(all fake) and tells the officer he hit her causing her nose to bleed. The cop then turns to my friends and says "Since she's bleeding and you're not, I'm going to have to arrest you!"
He took him off to jail that night and he spent the next 24 hrs. there until his dad came and bailed him out.
Can you believe that crap!! He did go to court but I don't remember what happened there besides the fact he got screwed even more. This happened quite a number of years ago.
I honestly believe that women have way too much power anymore and some reforms are needed.
Women will claim the opposite but we all know that's just not true....right guys?
