If one were to claim a government benfit based on a false statement of marital status, certainly the payer would be looking into it./

All they want is the pensions that they rightfully earned, before the airline files for bankruptcy and dumps it’s pension obligations. Continental has to have something like that in mind, otherwise why would they complain?

The bike repair shop a few blocks from my apartment offers divorces for 300 bucks, according to the sign in the window. Also PC repair and guitar lessons, but still: 300 buck divorces!

Why would anyone actually pretend to divorce and then get remarried to the same person?
