[quote=hobbying; 1108102]i am curious if anything will change with the p4p scene with the new female president in office now.
in her inagrual speech she spoke many times about giving females better lives and opporunities. [/quote]after reading about her political views in wikipedia (not the end-all, by any means) , it doesn't sound like there's much on her radar regarding p4p. she's had 2 divorces, and in spite of one being an amicable split, i could easily see her trying to revamp the courts to more closely emulate the us, when it comes to divorce and child support issues, after hearing what my fiancée had to go through for her divorce. if rouseff picks michigan to emulate, i feel sorry for brasil. i think the people who developed the concept of the "friend of the court" here, had heinrich himmler and the stormtroopers of the ss as their heros, with divorced dads as the targets of their wrath.
