<p>Another Jon…don’t people marry the same person over and over again?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you believe what you read, there’s already one waiting in the wings, the gray haired, well chiseled handsome married bodyguard who is constantly being photographed with Kate.</p>
<p>Now it is being reported that the divorce papers reveal that Jon and Kate have been living separately for 2 years and that they are not able to agree on splitting assets. Seems the Hawaii renewal ceremony was all a sham. Shame on TLC if they were aware of this. Experts are also predicting the demise of the show.</p>
<p>It is also being reported that Kate NOT Jon filed for the divorce. And a clip from the show Monday was just run on one of the entertainment shows, Kate really had to say " and the show must go on…" NO IT DOES NOT.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>He needed to hang out with more SAHMs to validate his worth. I found that just because the kids are in school, the use for a parent at home didn’t end. By the way, when you are caring for your own kids, it is NOT babysitting!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They have a contract for another full season. So yes, it does, unless TLC decides to release them (won’t happen).</p>
<p>But they signed a contract for this 5th year JUST RECENTLY during all the turmoil. They signed with him signing off a mere 2 mos ago saying he did not want to do another season, and with the marriage already in deep trouble. He had already had the pics shows with the college girls floating around, and the young teacher “friend” issues. The show did not need to go on. They could have put their marriage first.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>interesting - this means Kate wants it over with now. She is claiming the two year waiting period is already over. Also - the court will split the assets should they not agree.</p>
<p>Could you explain what the 2 year waiting period is all about, JustAMomof4?</p>
<p>It would be within Kate’s profile to want to get this divorce over with as soon as possible and move on with the next thing.</p>
<p>I just think this whole thing is shameful. I’m not a naive person but I certainly fell for this show and the portrayal of this family. It was clear that there were issues between Jon and Kate but they’ve been living a lie for two years? The renewal of the vows was a lie? The whole situation disgusts me. I hope that TLC thinks long and hard about whether they want to bring this show back from hiatus. The network clearly is having doubts or they wouldn’t have shut down production, but seriously, this is wrong on so many levels. Those poor, poor children.</p>
<p>I just found an article on Kate’s holier than thou appearance at a Detroit speaking engagement. The organization who sponsored this speaking engagement had pretty harsh words about Kate. Since I don’t know how to link directly to the website here is the entire address. This confirms every opinion I’ve had about Kate the Witch (or substitute any other rhyming word)</p>

<p>Also, she lied on her divorce papers by checking off the box that they have been separated for two years. She marked both boxes in case Jon contested it. I wonder if this race to file the papers had anything to do with the picture posted of one of the girls on the ATV with the keys in it and landing on the dog when she jumped off just as her picture was being taken!</p>
<p>I guess I just learned how to post a link!!</p>
<p>why on earth does anyone think this women has anything not self-serving to say?? Any group that pays her to speak needs to rethink their programs.</p>
<p>Michone: that was an excellent article you linked to, very incisive and well-written. It analyzes some of Kate’s values and how they have led to trouble for her and her family.</p>
<p>Did anyone notice that the older girls were not really included in the favorite moments at the end of last night’s episode? I found that very sad.</p>
<p>I think the mother actually despises them, which makes me sad: [The</a> Master At Work | Dlisted](<a href=“http://dlisted.com/node/32481]The”>http://dlisted.com/node/32481)</p>
<p>Aw, the news about Jon and Kates breakup separation did sadden me.
Sure, it was bound to happen, but being a child of recently divorced parents, I really feel for the kids.</p>
<p>I’m glad that it seems that Jon and Kate will be rotating, and not the kids. (It would be extremely selfish to do otherwise)</p>
<p>It’s probably right that TLC is putting the show on hiatus though…</p>
<p>I hope in 10 years one of the kids writes a tell all book. I’d read it.</p>
<p>So a hiatus until Aug 3, but can this be the next chapter: Kate and Jon plus Deanna ?
[New</a> ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ episodes will include Jon Gosselin’s new girlfriend](<a href=“http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/06/24/2009-06-24_new_jon_and_kate_plus_.html]New”>http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/06/24/2009-06-24_new_jon_and_kate_plus_.html)</p>
<p>In light of the Gosselins’ divorce announcement on Monday night (watched by a record 10.6 million viewers), no, they won’t be having any more children, thanks. However, a carefully placed source tells us that Jon’s reported girlfriend, 23-year-old Deanna Hummel, is expected to join the show next season. </p>
<p>Although the network announced Tuesday that it was pulling the plug on the remaining new episodes of the hit series, the show will resume on Aug. 3 with Deanna on board. </p>
<p>Deanna’s role isn’t expected to be big, but because she’s part of Jon’s life, she’ll be filmed," says our insider. The source added that the show will focus primarily on how Jon and Kate are raising their brood separately.</p>
<p>please just let this stupid show go away. The welfare of the kids should come first and there’s NO WAY this show is good for them.
I read that Monday’s show had over 10 million viewers. Is it that misery loves company or just human nature to want to gather around a crash site?
IMO, this show is a reflection of the worst aspects of our culture. A short break is not enough…cancel it for good.</p>

<p>I am no big fan of Kate’s but she did not necessarily lie. We don’t have a window to their bedroom for the past two years. There is no “box” to check off.</p>
<p>Here is the deal - PA is no fault divorce. they don’t care about affairs etc. NONE of that will matter. There is no “Legal separation” in PA.<br>
If both parties agree to the divorce and agree on disposition of assets then there is a 6 month waiting period after the papers are filed.
If one party contests - there is a two year waiting period after the date of separation - not filing. Separation doesn’t mean they necessarily moved out. It could mean they are living separate lives under one roof. Separate bank accounts, lack of a conjugal relationship, not living as a “couple”.
If they haven’t had sex in two years then Kate may make the claim they have been separated. The judge will decide if Jon contests the “separation”.</p>
<p>About Deanna Hummel - don’t believe everything you read. Most of these articles are sensational, exaggerated and laughable. The house is not a “multi-million” dollar house. It does not even stand out in the neighborhood. The house is about $500,000 but the acreage ups the value of the entire property to about a million.</p>
