This is fucking exceptional. That's like saying you can knock up some bitch in Cali and escape the child support by moving to Colorado. I'm not sure where you're getting this bullshit but I actually cited the Virginia law on the matter. And no where is it written.
So to quote the dipshit before me "Cite it. Cite that law."
I normally don't get upset at users here for being exceptional, it is to be expected. This is how I view Chris as well, I don't get upset, it is to be expected. You however are being obstinate in your belief, which has been on multiple times been called incorrect, on an assertion you believe to be certain. This is either sheer exceptionalism, or you have a personal interest in seeing that your assertion holds true; in which we will perform this dissection of your motives live before the whole of the Farms. This is not because "I am a bully" but rather, "You have acted so exceptional, that you are essentially asking to be dissected."
But before that, let's rip the teeth out of your argument by addressing the strawman you've proposed. Child Support=Passing of a Family Member.
First off, there are federal statutes regarding Child Support, meaning that most states have some form of Generally Accepted Practice when it comes to this. This is because Child Support is an idea of "Maintaining Life." However, Child Support claims are specified directly within the state of the occurrence. Meaning that if you knock someone up, stay in the state long enough to be brought to court, (whether this be via free will or court ordered[bounty hunter]) then you pay child support according to that state's statutes. However, if you leave the state before doing this, then you can get away with it a bit. However, if the woman who is knocked up pursues the case, the attorneys of the state of conception will talk with the attorneys of the state of paternal reception, and then the case happens. However, this is only true BECAUSE each state has its own Generally Accepted Child Support methodology, and the process takes a long while; but this is okay because the child has plenty of years to grow and live. It's not like a rotting body.
So, let's simplify that down a little bit for your exceptional chimp like mind to understand. Child support cases are different because why? Because there is a generally accepted statute in each state and the period in which the main person of interest is concerned (the child) is 18 years. If Cole and Barb had an incest son under the age of 18, he could, and would be obligated to pay child support if the case was approached.
Now, when it comes to the Passing of Relatives, there is not a generally accepted statute across the 50 states, this falls more under the "Taxable Personal Property" example I had brought up to you before. This is because it is to be assumed (On a general population basis) that the immediate PROXIMITY of the deceased is to take care of arrangements, and not the immediate BLOODLINE of the deceased. The reason the case can't be opened as per funeral arrangements because the person of interest (the deceased) only has a week until something HAS to be done; whether this is by the local government (Cheapo Funeral on Tax payer's dime), the individual's PROXIMITY (Chandler family/friends in Virginia)[Due to Virginia statutes, as you quoted before, this means ALL FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF VIRGINIA HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY IF THE DIRECT CHAIN OF PROMIXITY IS UNABLE TO FULFILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES.] [Examples of Failure to Fulfill; Severe Mental Illness [As in needing to be held inpatient on a regular basis], Incarceration, Military Deployment, etc; any of which Chris cannot claim, [laziness and stress are not legal excusues]] by third party benefactor (Kiwifarms takes the body from the Morgue and jettisons it out of a cargo plane; their Church helps pay a part of the funeral.)
Let's simplify this for you though, because I don't believe your mind is able to process these concepts. Let's put it into a simple word problem for you.
"Null has a son named a semi autistic, but functioning son Bluespike whom he hasn't talked to in over 30 years and the two live in seperate states; and lives with his other son, Marvin who is very autistic but passes the bar for "fit for active member of society" for the past 15 years. Null passes away, who is to arrange his funeral? The Son who he hasn't talked to in over 30 years, or The Son who he has lived with for the past 15? The answer, is The Son who he has lived with for the past 15, because there is a timeline of a week for arrangements to be completed, or else the local government, Kiwifarms, will feed his rotting corpse to the pig pen at the personal cost expense of the users."
Now we can go into "But muh Virginia statutes say..." which is fine and dandy; if the person of interest did not have a deadline of a week. When it comes to things such as "Finances and debt of the deceased" this is a matter completely different all together, however this is usually done via an attorney of the family, or a state assigned one. That is where things can get a bit tricky, HOWEVER; to pursue the matter in civil court would end up in more debt for the plaintiff than the defendant will be obligated to help pay, and a ruling is NOT guarenteed, especially the relationship status of the defendent and the deceased. Most debt (unless it is substaintual ) [500,000K+] is usually written off by collectors, and the proximity usually never goes out of state, or beyond siblings/children/parents.
To put this into perspective:
A: Chris and his immediate Proximity circle HAS to financially be responsible to Barb's funeral/burial costs, or its left up to the local Government.
B: Chris CAN seek to pursue Cole if Barb's debts ARE pushed unto him, citing the statute you posted.
C: Chris WOULD pay personal attorney's cost to address the matter, which would not be resolved for at least a year (meaning that the attorney's cost [unless pro bono] will exceed the debts that COULD exist
D: A ruling COULD say, "Okay Cole, you are obligated to pay a certain percentage of the deceased debts because you are genetic blood" however, this would not be a full as Chris is the genetic blood of the deceased.
E: A Ruling COULD say "Wow, it sounds like she didn't care about you whatsoever, you are not obligated to pay any of her debts, as you are not a resident of the state of the deceased." Which means Chris still HAS to pay the deceased debt, his NEW attorney debt, AND the court costs.
Why B-E won't happen: The debt COULD be written off, and if it isn't then that takes actual work, and ALOT of money; something of which Chris would not do. He'll make angry Facebook posts and ask for money. Chris is going to have to "Adult it" and face reality. Cole has no ties [other than genetic] to Barb, which would mean that he'd be on the proximity IF he lived in Virginia, due to the statute.
Now that the teeth are out the your argument, let's dissect you, Yop Yop, member since Janurary 19th, from Mexico, not even a week old to Kiwifarms.
Why, [if you are really from Mexico] do you think you understand how the Republic of the United States functions? You wouldn't understand it, unless you are from the United States, and work specifically in a legal fashion. I do not know of Mexican statutes so I don't voice opinion on them if I had them. So, your argument when it comes to speaker relevance has no basis.
Secondly, why are you adamant on defending Chris' position in this situation? Either: You are a White Knight [in which you deserve to be ridiculed] or You don't like people disagreeing with your headcanon [in which you deserve to be ridiculed]. Since you are a new member as of Friday, however seem relatively knowledgable about Chris' situation, it would appear to me that you are a secondary/tetiarary account of a previous user, aka "A sockpuppet" in which you deserve to be ridiculed. On a personal character basis, your argument has no basis. If you are a sincere new user who has just been lurking, then I will offer you the same advice as I was when I first started posting "Look, don't speak, and learn the culture before offering up an opinion, or be ridiculed for having one"; if you fight back or get upset about this, you will be publicly ridiculed for it. If you do it to the VERY wrong people, you WILL be doxxed. This is not a place where you can take your personal ego and flaunt it off like its all that. We do not care what your opinion is or how strongly you believe in it. If forum users are telling you "You are wrong, that is incorrect" then you best better accept that your opinion is wrong and incorrect, if you try to defend yourself against this, this only fuels our fire, makes us mark your posts as "Autistic, Dumb, or A-Log."
If you are not a sincerely new poster, then please kindly fuck off right where you came from. Your argument has been publicly disassembled, if you defend it at this point, you are either an extreme fool who deserves to be ridiculed, or there's something deeper about your dedication to Chris' position, in which you deserve to be ridiculed.
Tl;Dr edition.
"You are wrong, there's the door. Either shut up or get out."
