Jon and Kate Divorce Docs -- Not for Your Eyes

46. disagree on point
free trip to hawaii for 10 people plus a party? paid for by tlc my guess, i'm not thinking it was entirely all about renewing their vows
and they could have said NO to appearances and the show, it was their choice to do it, knowing full well what could happen, jon expressed he no longer wanted to do it, kate insisted
and how would you know there was no name calling (kate IMPLIED jon was a wuss ALL the time and that was on camera), or drinking (reported Kate swigs a bottle of wine every night) or physical abuse (kate did hit one of her kids on camera!) how would you know there isn't more going on when the cameras weren't rolling?
Glad you support this kind of thing, wish there were more people NOT like you
these kids were never old enough to make a decision of having a camera in their face on a regular basis, and with that comes the paparazzi, these people need to take a step back for the sake of their kids
we've heard of the 'curse' of reality shows (nick & jessica carmen & dave hulk & linda need I go on?)
we've also seen and heard the pllight of childhood actors (that mess danny bonaduci, that other hot mess britney spears, remember Dana Plato? yeah, she';s dead and that list goes on and on as well
how many out of 8 will survive unscathed? THAT reamins to be seen

47. Well said OnPoint!
To just about everyone else, where is your humanity? Are you all completely incapable of understanding that this family is being torn apart, and these children DO have feelings too? Beyond that, if you've ever experienced a divorce, it's never easy- on anyone- and I commend John and Kate for making it last 10 years, and doing their best during a very chaotic time. Most marriages don't even last that long. I will continue to hope and pray that in due time, they are able to work out their differences.

I beleive that anyone in their situation approached by TLC... AFTER they had kids, would have taken TLC up on the offer. It was such a wonderful show until the photographers and media went in a frenzy over J&K+8 after Octomom became so popular. I agree, the psychotic media, I assure you, has contributed to the dimise of their relationship- which is so incredibly sad.

Beyond that, no one here has any right to judge or slander either John or Kate. No one knows exactly what has happened between the two of them, and none of us know what it feels like to live with stalkers-with-cameras outside of our houses 24/7. We all have dirty laundry, and we would all probably end up with more severe troubles if we were being harassed by the media on a daily basis.

I do not think it's right to blame John or Kate for the show on TLC. They both recieved college educations, and I imagine they want nothing less than that opportunity for their children. No, money isn't everything, but when you make a choice to bring ANY child into this world, the intention needs to be to provide the BEST life possible for them... which is EXACTLY what they set out to do in the beginning.

Living and raising 8 children is something that very few people in this world have to deal with, so until you have 8 children to raise from birth to death, you have no room to judge or say that you wouldn't have done the exact same thing 5 YEARS AGO, and sign a contract with TLC, to ensure that all 8 of your children could have a shot at a decent future and a nice house to live in until then.

Seriously, where did your humanity go people?

48. Two blue eyed people can't have a brown eyed child. All the kids have brown eyes so one or both of the parents used a donor.

49. They're sealed because they say who used the donor for in vitro.

50. onpoint:
I think you have too many marbles rolling around in your empty head. The children are being exploited! Guess what? I love telling you this...the production of the show has been haulted. TLC got many complaints from sponsors and politicians. Viewers were outraged about this "airing our dirty laundry" show last night. The kids will have some great memories from that show. Monster Mom and Greed Dad can play the tape for them. The show wasn't haulted because J$K wanted it to be. Kate said "the show will go on." Ha Ha...no it won't and I doubt it will be back on in August. Maybe, just maybe there will be a few specials to catch up with the family...but that is about all. Sorry Sheeple...no more Koolaid for you. LOL

51. Why do we even have CRAP like this on here to read about anyways! this makes me sick! literally sick! what is so SPECIAL about these people???? clueless here! it's obvious that they know how to "breed", and then make money off of that....however, on the flip side of that, what in the hell is SOOO captivating about it all? anything? huuuu, PLEASE, SOMEONE JUST TELL ME! between these two, and the "octo crap", it's as ignorant as can be! it truly amazes me how society can place some kind of "something special" on crap such as this, actually pay these people money for placing their dirty laundry out there for EVERYONE to see.......do they have no shame at all???????

Posted at 2:15PM on Jun 23rd 2009 by Here's a clue!

52. County Jurisdiction
Pennsylvania has counties that govern which court your divorce will take place in. This is called venue. The divorce must be filed where either the plaintiff or defendant resides or where either is regularly employed or has a place of business.

#20 is correct this needs to be filed in Berks County (where they live) not Montgomery. Her name is listed as KATIE/

53. who cares about them? there are so many couples divorcing everyday. only difference here is that these two are on tv. who the hell are they anyway? they were no one before the show. do they even work? or live on freebies? i cant believe people actually watch these two idiots. shes a cow and he's an idiot who let her control his life. both of them should be ashamed of themselves for making a "living" like this for their kids.

54. Wow, they will exploit their own children, but they won't let the public see the divorce papers? The public they whore their children out to???

TLC EXPLOITS CHILDREN. PLEASE BOYCOTT THEM AND THEIR SPONSERS!

55. They filed in this county because they can seal the records there.
The reality TV couple is not getting special consideration since it varies from county to county in Pennsylvania whether divorce records are public, and Montgomery County is one that keeps them sealed to everyone except the parties themselves and their attorneys, a clerk tells PEOPLE. The only thing available for public consumption is the name of each party, the type of complaint they filed (divorce, in this case) and the date they filed.

56. Who cares and why do we need to see the court doc's anyway? Whatever........................

Posted at 2:56PM on Jun 23rd 2009 by life is like that

57. TLC just announced that because of the problems in the marriage and the production schedule, JON AND KATE PLUS 8 is "going on an unscheduled hiatus and production has been halted." YEAH!!! The cameras are out of the kids faces!!

58. Pull the plug--Jon is a disgrace with his swollen look and diamond earrings- What dad of 8 would move to a one bedroom apt in NYC? Also, he said his next chapter is "exciting." I am an educational specialist and Jon has the vocab of a middle schooler-- I do not like Kate but Jon must have been difficult to deal--He is showing his true colors now and what a jerk who could not wait until the divorce to run around to bars, and "fly" on the 4 wheeler-
Pull the Plug--If TLC pays for anymore of Jon's fun trips, getaways or apartments, then, everyone needs to protest and protest the Trump building where he will live- What a disgrace that could have been ok w/o going off the tracks

59. Well thank God TMZ has saved me the trouble of digging up the court records. I was really on pins and needles about that one....NOT. I am a fan of the show but for crying out loud, LEAVE THEM ALONE!!
