Have a blessed day I'm off to class.

[*JG* 2]

Dang, Lawny. So much drama. I hope everyone gets better soon. Sorry for all your troubles. I hope your next embassy visit goes much smoother.

How are you feeling now?

Dont matter youg or old you SIMPLY DO NOT refer to someone as boy or gal in this country is rude and DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!!

I'm sorry it has hit such a nerve with you.

I don't see anything wrong with calling people boys or girls in some contexts. Like I say I love you girls. It's not meant to be derogatory. If it is said in a derogatory fashion, then I do see it as being wrong.

JG --

I'm good for right now. I don't think you offended her or anyone of us. It's the way it is said. BWAY or GYAL...is very disrepectful. Let Andre say it for you and you'll understand. It's just the way it's said and how it is directed. Because if anybody call my GYAL and war mi ago war and star gwaan bad.

In that case, I don't think I want to know. Thanks for the clarification.

Usually when so meone calls a man bwoy, the response is ususally "is who him a call bwoy" and then it goes downhill from there.

You are absolutely correct in that, Kis. I will never ever understand the need for violence in lots of scenarios in Jamaica.

question - who issues divorce decrees in jamaica?

Here's what I found. I think the costs are outdated a little.

Of interesting note, too, was that the parties have to be married AT LEAST 2 years before they can file. Interesting stipulation.

"First you file the divorce papers called a 'Decree Ni Si' at the Supreme Court. The main cost here is the $2,000 stamp fee. The registrar then checks it and sends it to the attorney.

The papers are then personally delivered to the person whom is being divorced. This is referred to as service of petition.

The person who serves the divorce papers can be anyone, as long as they are over 21.

After the papers are delivered, a date is set for a hearing. The petitioner then goes to court and gives evidence saying why he/she wants the divorce.

Before this, however, the person who was served papers can acknowledge receipt of them in the court, but this is not compulsory.

Cooper says in most cases, the person against whom the petition is filed does not show up at court.

Six weeks after the court hearing, the petitioner can then apply for a 'Decree Absolute', which means that the two are divorced.

And it is after this process that another court hearing that seeks to settle asset disbursements takes place.

At around, $15,000-$20,000, Legal Aid offers cheaper divorces. But first you have to satisfy the state-sponsored law offices that you cannot otherwise pay a private lawyer.

Grant says clients are required to pay, immediately, a consultation fee of around $5,000 to $6,000.

"We then conduct a means test, which determines their income and expenditure. If they are above the threshold, we refer them to a private attorney," he said.

Grant also explained that the legal fees are often paid over time.

The Supreme court -

http://www.jdfmil.org/jdf_members/gen_info/divorce.htm

I believe all are issued through the Supreme Court in Kingston

[JaEnglishGirl 34]

Yes, would agree.....

GYAL is reserved for dissing.....

"this likkle gyal'

'that gyal'

If you meant it in a friendly manner, you would use 'girl'

'This girl I know'

"Hey girl'
