A quick definition of ex lege:

Term: EX LEGE

Definition: Ex lege means "by virtue of law" or "as a matter of law." It refers to rights or actions that are determined by the law itself, rather than by a contract or agreement between people. For example, if a law says that property will be forfeited if certain conditions are met, then that property is forfeited ex lege. It is a Latin term that lawyers use to describe legal concepts that are based on the law itself, rather than on individual agreements or circumstances.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ex lege is a Latin term that means "by virtue of law" or "as a matter of law".

Example: If a person is found guilty of a crime, they may have their property seized by the government ex lege.

This means that the law allows the government to take the person's property as a consequence of their criminal actions. The property is forfeited automatically, without the need for any additional legal action.

Another example of ex lege is the requirement for employers to pay their employees a minimum wage. This is a legal requirement that applies to all employers, regardless of whether they have a contract with their employees or not.

Overall, ex lege refers to legal rights or obligations that arise automatically, without the need for any additional agreement or action. These rights and obligations are created by the law itself, and apply to everyone equally.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.

Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
