2014-03-08

The alimony reform debate reaches New Jersey
2014-03-08
A slow, steady ripple of change is impacting alimony laws across the country and the debate has reached New Jersey. Also called spousal maintenance or spousal support, the payment of support by one ex-spouse to the other after divorce or separation has been a traditional part of family law.
Modern trends
Certain aspects of traditional alimony are being challenged because of changing times: the economics of job loss and underemployment; the rise in female employment and earnings; the increase in cohabitation by intimate partners; and a growing expectation that after ...
DWI charges possible in Texas even if under the legal limit
2014-03-08
Although it may surprise many Texas motorists, a driver does not actually have to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit in order to be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Texas. Indeed, while a driver is automatically considered "intoxicated" under Texas law if he or she has a BAC of at least 0.08 percent, DWI charges are also possible if a driver does not have the "normal use of mental or physical faculties" due to alcohol consumption - regardless of BAC levels.
In fact, police have been known to charge drivers ...

While judges are guided by the laws of the state of Texas, they make determinations based on the facts of a case, not the nuances present in every family dynamic. Many people feel helpless in that situation, and are anxious that a stranger has complete control ...
