Bill Could Ban Sex During Divorce

If you’re in the midst of a divorce and living with children in Massachusetts, dating or having sex at home could soon be banned until all divorce proceedings are finalized, pending the passage of a new bill. In order to have sex, a judge would first have to sign-off an approval.

The proposed legislation reads:

In divorce, separation, or 209A proceedings involving children and a marital home, the party remaining in the home shall not conduct a dating or sexual relationship within the home until a divorce is final and all financial and custody issues are resolved, unless the express permission is granted by the courts.

The bill, originally filed in early 2013, was sponsored by State Sen. Richard Ross (R) on behalf his constituent Wrentham Selectman Robert Leclair. It received an extension on March 20 to be considered by the State Legislature until June 30, Think Progress reports.

I fail to see how they could possibly enforce this.

Have Enforcement Issues ever stopped Those Who Know What's Best For You from passing a law?

Give me a break. How are they ever going enforce this and who needs permission to have sex in your own home. Maybe this judge needs to get laid more.
