Is Peter Barton married?

Peter Barton is currently living in a small town in upstate, NY. He is the proud FATHER of a 5 yr. old youngster. He was involved with a WOMAN who gave birth to the little girl and they had a lawyer resolve all monies and shared custody upon the dissolution of their relationship. I dated him myself and he is not, nor ever has been a woman. That is vile that someone would make fun of, not only Peter, but the trans community this way.

And P.S. he was in a longstanding relationship with Lisa Rinna and, by the way.....He was engaged :)

I am leaving my abusive husband and how do I get help to move?

  • Depending on how abusive your husband is and how far he will go it is wise to have male family members or even the police accompany you while you remove your contents from where you live. Do not attempt this alone! You can also call the Abused Women's Shelter where you can go and explain your circumstances and they will put you into a Safe House with other abused women and your husband will not know where you are. They will help you with the process of getting your contents from the house; legal advice (also will provide legal counsel in a court of law) and will help you find a job. In return they do expect you to take programs to learn tools to help yourself and become independent and know the danger signs of any male who is abusive. Many women go back to their abusive boyfriends or husbands because they have been told enough they are useless and the woman is left with little confidence so it's important to seek help from the Abused Women's Shelter. You can phone your Mental Health in your town for the number of the Women's Shelter.

Why does the state have to be involved in a Christian marriage?

In the United States marriage is a civil legal status. It is controlled by civil laws. Marriage brings with it a host of legal rights and responsibilities bestowed by law. Certain parties are permitted by the state to officiate at a wedding including judges, clergy, justices of the peace, deacons and in most states any other person who requests a one-day permit such as the mother of the groom.

A couple must obtain a civil marriage license in the state where they want to be married. Without a valid marriage license there can be no legal marriage even if it is performed by clergy.

Can anyone obtain a license to perform marriages?

(in the US) It can depend on which state you reside in. All state's laws address this in a differing fashion.

Generally, not just anyone will be authorized to perform marriages. Virtually all state laws provide that any recognized member of the clergy have authority to perform marriage. However, in some states the clergy needs to be licensed. California allows anyone to apply for authority to perform a marriage ceremony in special cases, for family or friends, and that type of authority is only good for one day. Most states allow public officials such as Justices of the Peace and judges to marry couples and some jurisdictions authorize ship captains. You can read more at the state-by-state listing at the link provided below.
