Married three times Full disclosure: First wife filed charges for spouse abuse. Twice. While I was supposed to be abusing her, instead I was filing a restraining order on her. Charges dropped because there was no "evidence". Which is easy, when there was no abuse. (This is mentioned because I know opposing candidates/media will try to use this, while leaving out key details.) By the way, the first time, when I was supposed to be abusing her. I had pointed out to the Sherriff deputy that I was at work, and could prove I was on video the whole day at the station.

All three times, I had filed for divorce.
