i understand that statue of frauds states that certain documents need to be in writing but i have a question about the exceptions. does a condition promise to adopt the child of a future spouse need to be in writing under the statute of fraud?
would a fathers dowry to the groom need to be in writing under statute of fraud?
thanks

Oil companies like to play a shell (no pun intended) game.
company 1 has 3 subsidiaries.
a sells to b who sells to c who sells again to a
the oild never moves, but the 'sale' price climbs so each company can make a profit and then the ficticiously expensive gas hits your friendly neighborhood gas pump!
fraud and it happens daily!
OIl companies generally announce 350%-500% profits
WOW
and none of it helps our economy (with the exceptions of the boards of said companies). The US gov't puts a HUGE tax per gallon and when is the last time you got 1/10 cent change for your gallon?

time to shake up the system and force, by law, the constant flow of oil, no make believe shortages!
TEXAS and OKLAHOMA produce huge amounts of oil, but they pay more than the nat'l average at times

FRAUD!!!
ALASKAN pipeline oil goes to JAPAN for 50% of what we pay for arab oil!
FRAUD!!!
Let Japan buy arab oil and we can drop prices selling our own
tyvm!
