Wow, Mani has really come full circle, from being a fan, to working at Paisley Park, to marrying Prince, to divorcing Prince, yikes...

I know that is right! Prince isn't going to wed something without the papers.

This is kind of suprising that Mani is the one who asking for the divorce yet she had jumped many hurdles to get with Prince in the first place.


All i gotsa say is WOW.

Hold it!!
There's a line..lol

Bad for Prince (?) but good for the fans. Let's hope he becomes the troubled loner again and also becomes the ultra creative genius (instead of just the creative genius) that we know and love.

Now he can marry Camille and they can have a spiritual and sexual threesome.

Hey, the 3121 version of The Dance makes a bit more sense now.

I am thinking about the lyrics to Fury and I think things are starting to make sense here a bit.

DanceWme said:

LOL

U CANNOT take the pimp out of a man.....impossible.

She got what she wanted.. it's time for her to move on already! ..

DanceWme said:

No, but If you want a detailed discussion of "divorce" a la JW...take it to the P&R forum.

We all know how private Prince is....we will never hear any details of the impending divorce. He ain't stupid either....there was a prenup. If this all turns out to be true, then now we will know why the sudden disappearance for promotion of 3121.

I think Sheila E is his true soulmate.

He is NOT stupid! They were not even living together for about a year already and sinse California law see separation part of "divorce", he would owe her NOTHING from his earnings or estate starting from the time they lived in separate houses. You know Prince, he CAN and will prove that .. The man aint no dummy!
But I would imagine Prince had this all covered before he even married her. Neither lost anything, really!

And for the people who think JW can't get a divorce unless adultery, it's not so. They can divorce if they are being abused or abuse of children, drug use, etc etc etc. Same reason any of us would want to divorce.
Tell me you all did not fall for that JW stuff did you? .. it was all a part of his "change", thats all!

hennepin county's in minnesota. just sayin.

She was probably living in Mpls, where of course she would file. He was living in California.

what there is no common law in MN? they certlinly acted married. did they file income tax as Married? did they ever presnt themselves as beening married?

any of those that she can prove, would mean that she can insist on a divorce and unless there was some kind of pre-nup... looks like she is DUE a good $50,000,000 SWEET!

robertbullocks said:

regardless of that, they were hitched here in hennepin county. wouldn't matter where either one is/was living now, really.

It don't matter to me .. but i'm sure it matters to Prince

Divorce laws vary by state. California has a cool divorce system. It protects the "'fortune'ate" one

Anyway, Prince get'n a divorce..... Carmen get'n a divorce?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I am sure Prince is much better off doing this in MN... i wonder what she gonna get? 1/2 of whatever he made and alimony? or is there even alimony in MN? and how it is set up?

oh if prince can prove they lived in CA he could make them move it... but that would be where they lived at the time of the split.

That's sad. Regardless of what kind of opinions I may have about Prince or Mani as people (and since I don't know either one of them personally I can't judge too much) it's still sad to hear.

robertbullocks said:

I thought they got married in Hawai'i? Does where they were married have anything to do with the divorce laws? Or is it only based on what state the divorce is filed in?

jone70 said:

nope.



yeah, but it should be in a state in which they lived. she can not just go to some random state and file there.

If the lawyers have anything to do with it, her new fragrance will be called 'My Shit Don't Smell'

I already posted about this on Housequake but I'll say it again. I do hope that people will respect Prince's privacy during this time. Remember the Mills/McCartney fiasco? I don't want to see Prince as hurt as Paul was, from rumors and speculation about a very private matter.
