Attorneys oppose marriage bill
A proposal abolishing common-law marriages, introduced by the State House Judiciary Committee earlier this week, brought reactions of surprise and disapproval from area lawyers yesterday.
The bill was intended to ease legal disputes over property because judges would no longer have to face time limits on the amount of time between people married under common law.
Under present law, two people who have been living together and assume they are married under common law must go through regular divorce proceedings if they want to separate. In such cases, a judge determines whether
the two were actually married under common law.
$ \mu $ the judge determines the couple was not married, the court has no responsibility to settle any property disputes.
Lawyers who oppose the bill say that abolition of common-law standards will leave those couples who believe they are under common law in a lurch.
Lawyers question what will happen to couples living together as man and wife if they don't realize the change has been made. Many question whether property disputes will actually be lessened.
Jane Frydman, a Lawrence lawyer who has dealt with such divorces, said she was surprised at the news of the bill and did not approve of it.
"It it's rather abrupt," she said. "I'm just guessing, but I would say it would mean that whoever is the owner of record of the property would get it.
"I especially see a tendency for women to be left in the lurch because much of the property is under the husband's name."
Lawrence lawyer William J. Craven said he thought the bill was "more of a social thing" and Craven said that the state was attending an attempt to make its marriage laws more uniform,

Regulars at the Jayhawk Bowl in the Kansas Union say it is among the least expensive recreational options available to KU students.
Jayhawk Bowl inexpensive option
The Jayhawk Bowl, on the first floor of the Union, features 12 benches, six pool tables, seven puttable machines and four videogames.
Dale Ewing, Overland Park graduate student, said he frequently came to the Jayhawk Bowl between classes to play pinball.
"I come here about once or twice a week," he said. "This place is one of the last places around that has been used for other places have video games."
DAVE HOLSTEAD, Wichita senior, said he visited the Jayhawk Bowt two or three times a week.
"I'm playing in a pool tournament this weekend, and there's no better place to practice up on my game than here," he said.
"The tables are pretty old, but I've won nearly $300 here, and the availability of the tables is something that I like, also."
A newcomer to the Jayhawk Bowl,
Barb Bell, Lenexa sophomore, said she never knew that the Union had a bowling center.
Cindy Surber, Montezuma junior, had a unique reason for liking the Jayhawk Bowl.
"I've been here two years and was shocked when my friend told me about the place," she said. "I plan on coming here often.
"I'm a little sister with the Evans Scholars fraternity, and we had a pajama party here recently," she said. "Most of the lights were turned off, and we bowled for hours with everyone having a great time."
