I read the paper this morning about Judge Bailey's ruling in the secret lotto case:
Hold on there Bruce -- that's an awfully rosy picture you're painting.A Miami-Dade judge on Thursday said the wife of a lottery winner cannot go forward with a lawsuit against her husband until she can provide a legal argument to support her claim for half of his jackpot.
''She has no identifiable legal rights at this time,'' Circuit Judge Jennifer D. Bailey said. ``Where does the law say you automatically have a right to participate in the proceeds?''
Bailey dismissed temporarily the lawsuit Donna Campbell filed against her husband, Arnim Ramdass, an American Airlines mechanic who hit a $19 million Florida Lotto jackpot last summer with 16 of his co-workers.
Campbell and her attorneys have 20 days to amend their complaint. They will try to prove that the money Ramdass used to buy the lottery ticket came from his work salary, which is considered a marital asset.
''It appears that once we do that, we can go forward and get a trial date and proceed with vindicating Ms. Campbell's rights,'' attorney Bruce Baldwin said after Thursday's hearing.
Can someone help me understand why Bruce is suing for fraud before Judge Bailey instead of going after the money as a marital asset in divorce court? Judge Bailey herself raised the issue:
''I'm not sure she has the ability in this court -- civil court -- to stop her husband from disposing of the lottery money,'' Bailey said.Has Bruce sought to enjoin the husband from disposing of the lottery money, or sought to deposit the funds into the court registry? Anyone with some insight on this please email me or post your thoughts.

I don't understand either why Bruce is suing for fraud- unless he has something up his sleeve?
BTW, SFL have you saved up enough money to take the Princess to Las Hadas or are you still brown bagging your lunch to save up?
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the press and who the public is going to side with.
I read the Princess is having a barbecue. Jeez, SFL you can't take her out to a restaurant? Money must be a little tight for you. If you're up for making some extra cash I'll be more than happy to throw some cases your way.
You boneheads crack me up.
BTW, anyone buy any high-end Argentinian flank steak recently? We're not talking cube steak prices here.
Planning on sending the princess some steaks?
7:03, the public will most likely be split right down the middle, 50/50 but SFL raises a good question- why is Bruce suing for fraud? Can't figure that out yet, could be apart of his grand master plan.
I'm trying to think of an appropriate
Bob Dylan song in honor of the Princess's latest picture but the only music playing in my mind is 'Bolero.' Any suggestions SFL?
ZZ Top.

Bruce has lost his mind. No court will -- nor should -- get involved in how a couple uses its assets. Can you imagine the chaos if there is a fraud cause of action any time a spouse hides money from another spouse. She should divorce him and then she gets a claim for 1/2 of the marital assets. Bruce is giving this lady very bad advice. Here's a clue Bruce, if the husband hasn't moved to divorce her even though they have no marital relationship anymore, that should tell you something... that he's smarter than you.
7:26, Excellent point!
7:20, you lost me, 'trane?
BTW, what would Bruce have to gain by giving bad advice?
Think "El Loco," Track 1. Or Track 7, if you're in that kind of mood.
Did I really need to close the circle on that one for y'all?
'trane
7:26, agreed- Bruce has lost his mind!
SFL this one is perfect for you and the princess:
Got to have you baby,
don't you say that you don't care.
Got to have you baby,
don't you say that you don't care.
Any way you want it baby,
I'll settle for a back door love affair.
I call you on the telephone,
the party says that you ain't there.
I call you on the telephone,
the party says that you ain't there.
When a man asked who's callin',
I said, just tell 'em it's a back door love affair.
9am0 SFL I swear I'm in a total fog on your answer.
7:26, Bruce has lost his mind or as 6:41 wrote, perhaps he does have something up his sleeve, although from a legal perspective I don't see what it could be.
9:14- I'm with you on that one.
Bruce must have a hidden agenda or he's he's forgotten everything he learned in law school.
9:14- agreed! SFL?
8:58, I'm with you.
9am, I'm with the others on that.
Put us out of our misery SFL and explain it to us as we're not avid music nuts like yourself.
SFL ,the ones who are in the fog about your two song choices must be really old if they don't understand the true meaning behind tracks 1 and 7. Hint, it's not an actual necklace.
'trane and 10:16 -- well played, sirs.
Hopefully Bruce will release a statement explaining his reasons.
10:16, it wasn't until high school I understood the true meaning behind the songs.
I like the Princess' newest picture, in a bikini and getting down and dirty in the mud. SFL any thoughts on this?
And to think, you people get paid top dollar to do research. Sad, really.
Oh, and please do not conflate me with SFL - she/he clearly is much more refined than your humble author.
'trane
'trane,
it's clear SFL is a 'he'
10:36, you plan on sharing your thoughts SFL or not?
Certain, are we?
One born every minute . . .
'trane
what makes you so sure?
11:36, your silence is getting irritating! We've given you our thoughts and now it's your turn.
12:05, yes 'trane what makes you so sure?
I'm not sure how much truth there is in this, considering the information came from a third party who claims they know the Princess. Her mother's family was connected to the cartel and not her father which is why she rarely ever writes about him, apparently father and daughter have an estranged relationship, reasons unknown. Valentina's father who himself sits at the top of the ladder in his line of 'work' is the Princess' Godfather which might explains his father-like role towards her. When I asked what the Princess' and Valentina's father's name is, he refused to tell me.
BTW, 12:08, I'm interested too.
I've expressed no certainty myself. This is the InterWeb, after all.
Researching AND reading comprehension deficits in this thread. I weep for y'all's clients.
'trane
12:33- what the hell?
12:45, I think 'trane just insulted all of us. Perhaps you mis-read the reasoning behind the purpose of this blog. If you did I suggest you read what it is says at the top of the main page. SFL you better speak up on this one.
You're afraid of the dark, baby, no need to be shy.
We'll talk about some lovin' while we look at the sky.
Don't be hesitating, it'll be alright,
We'll tuck it in until it's clean out of sight.
Slip inside my sleeping bag,
Slip inside my sleeping bag.
12:51 - It's called snark.
Don't go running to Daddy (S.F.L). Or is it Mommy . . .
See what I did there?
'trane
12:51- you damn fool, he baited you!
Where the hell did you go to law school!
1:12 -
I'll give you a hint: the mascot is sometimes also referred to as The Firebird.
'trane
12:29- interesting but there is no way to confirm whether it is true or not, only speculation, although him being the princess' godfather does makes sense.
1:12- Law school For Morons, no doubt.
SFL, Questions of the Day regarding the sweet princess. Feel free to answer one of the following or both:
Which ZZ Top song is your choice:
El Loco Track 1 or 7 or Sleeping Bag?
2)the question left by 10:36.
Okay, my boat's full y'all.
Have a great weekend.
And yes, it's all in fun. For real.
'trane
I like my ZZ pre-synth and electronic drumpads mostly, but I do have a weakness for the audacious lyrics of "Sleeping Bag."
10:36 -- she doesn't take a bad picture, does she?
1:31, hell no she doesn't. You and the princess in a sleeping bag, you think she likes camping?
1:34, only SFL knows the answer.
BTW SFL, your answers are somewhat annoying, you never give a straight answer the way we do. I guess it's because she's your secret princess.
When SFL doesn't give a straight answer, it's obvious to know what he feels for the Princess.
Enough Dylan and Zz. Time to rock SFL's world--
Morning came and into action went my plans
Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
I crept in and sang discreetly
Seemed to change your mind discreetly
Danced together singing sweetly
1:25, who's going to be brave enough to ask the princess whether it's true or not?
I had an awesome autographed ZZ Top T-shirt in college. When my g/friend broke up with me she took a pair of scissors and cut holes in it. I hated her.
SFL, why not take the Princess 'camping' in your 'sleeping bag?'
1:31, SFL the reply you left could have been only written by a lawyer.
Don't hate me SFL but I just read the Princess' post and saw her picture, I gotta say my sZZ TOP song choice is Pearl.
10:36, maybe he won't after realizing the bad advice he gave.
12:29, sounds plausible in regards to V's daddy being the Princess' Godfather, as for the other stuff maybe we ought to ask SFL.
1:31, you couldn't have come up with a better answer SFL? we already know she does.
My song choice: a combination of sleeping bag and pearl.
12:29, the only rumor I have heard is about Valentina's father being a powerful individual. As for the Princess, I have yet to hear whether or not he is her Godfather.
Your answer SFL left at 1:31 is vague yet slick similar to a politician. Do you plan to run for office because if so you're off to the right start- every male politician has a little hot thing on the side.
BTW Pearls for the Princess, there's an image that can't be erased from my mind.
9am: "Think "El Loco," Track 1. Or Track 7, if you're in that kind of mood."
-who wouldn't be in the mood with the Princess?
BTW 2:44, the only person who can rock SFL's world goes by the initial
C.P.
Here's a thought: If Bruce Baldwin had a "game plan," his complaint wouldn't have been dismissed. I'll bet that Curtis Mase is pulling his hair out for all the hours Baldwin probably spent on this contingency case to nowhere.
he's thinkng of the fees. you can't get a contingent fee in divorce court.
