So, some one decides to leave the country and renounce citizenship, and the USA still has the right to act as though this person is a resident citizen?

Through the rabbit hole, indeed.

(CDC statistics show that 75% of divorces are filed by women, yet women also receive 96% of all alimony).

In essence, thanks to our marriage/divorce law, the party breaking the contract gets the windfall payments, and the presumably innocent party still trying to honor the contract saying “wtf?” gets to pay the damages.

It’s like Alice in Wonderland.

This gets thumbs up if only for using one of my favorite Al Pacino lines for the title.
