Alternatives to Divorce Litigation in Texas
2011-02-16
In a recent, tentative ruling, a superior court judge in Los Angeles County voided the disputed marital property agreement between Frank and Jamie McCourt -- an agreement Frank McCourt claimed made him the sole owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 100-page ruling by Judge Scott Gordon not only opens the door to a possible sale of the franchise, but also warns of additional and protracted litigation on the horizon. The contentious divorce is reportedly one of the most expensive in California history; it included a trial lasting 11 days in September.

Safety Concerns Related to Elderly Drivers
2011-02-16
By 2025, the elderly (those over age 65) will account for 20 percent of drivers on the road. Although it is promising that life expectancies are increasing, there are safety concerns about the rising number of elderly drivers on the road.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), older people accounted for 8 percent (183,000) of the individuals injured in traffic crashes and for about 15 percent of traffic fatalities in 2008. In Kansas, elderly drivers accounted for 66 of the state's nearly 500 fatal crashes, and in Missouri, older drivers ...
Proposed Regulations Would Limit Cell Phone Use by Truck and Bus Drivers
2011-02-16
In a bold move, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has taken a stance against behind-the-wheel use of mobile phones by commercial bus and truck drivers. Proposed regulations -- which some see as a huge step in the direction of increasing safety on the road -- would prohibit use of handheld mobile phones as well as preventing the driver from dialing, holding a cell phone or reaching for a phone while the vehicle is in motion.
This particular proposal is seen as the middle ground between several proposals on opposite ends of the debate around using ...
Fetal Monitor Strips and Obstetrical Malpractice Cases
2011-02-16
During labor and delivery, obstetricians, nurses and hospital staff involved in the birth are responsible for taking every reasonable step to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible. One of the ways they can do this is by properly monitoring the vital signs of mother and baby during labor and delivery and taking appropriate actions when signs of distress are present. Improper monitoring often leads to serious birth injuries.
The obstetrics team has several options for monitoring the health of mother and baby. For example, some hospitals use external monitors ...

What is Stevens Johnson Syndrome?
Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare disorder that occurs when the body has an intense allergic reaction, usually to a medication or drug; however, the reaction also can be brought on by an illness or infection.

2011-02-16
The decision to get divorced is a major one, but in some ways, the decision is the easy part. After the decision comes the division of two intertwined lives, which is challenging even in the best of circumstances. When considering divorce, it's important to consider the significant ways in which your life will change.
Where will your children live?
Although Florida once heavily favored mothers as primary caregivers, these practices are gradually changing and laws increasingly recognize the roles that both parents play in a child's upbringing. Rather than offering ...
Father of Four Killed in Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accident
2011-02-16
The tragic death of a bicyclist in Monroe last month has put the spotlight on the plight of bike riders throughout North Carolina. Everyone has heard that bicyclists and pedestrians have the right of way, but not every driver yields. When the driver is intoxicated -- like the driver who has been charged with second-degree homicide for allegedly killing the bicyclist while driving under the influence of alcohol -- rules of the road are ignored and serious injuries occur.

More Parents Staying in Touch With Virtual Visitation
2011-02-16
Divorce can be an emotional experience for both spouses. For children, it can be one of the most difficult periods in their life. When one parent moves away from the other and children are involved, however, the process becomes even more complex.
Whether a job opportunity or another relationship drives one parent to relocate with the children, the non-custodial parent often finds himself or herself struggling to stay part of each child's life. But with the rise of technology, some divorced parents are finding it easier to stay in touch with their children and keep their ...
Seeking an I-601 Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
2011-02-16
Even if a fiance(e) or spousal visa petition is approved (i.e., the foreign spouse/fiance(e) receives the right to sit for an immigration interview), that does not necessarily ensure that a visa will be issued. In fact, there are several reasons why a petitioner will be deemed inadmissible to the U.S. These include a petitioner who:
- Has a communicable disease
- Has been convicted of certain crimes
- Is addicted to drugs or alcohol
- Is likely to become a public charge (i.e., need physical, mental or financial support through social service programs)
- Has a two-foreign-residency ...
Employment Accommodations for Employees With Cancer
2011-02-16
Oftentimes individuals with mental or physical disabilities want to work despite their limitations. Federal laws seek to empower those who wish to work and prevent employers from discriminating against individuals with disabilities or who are perceived to have disabilities. California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides even greater levels of protection from discrimination.
Federal and California laws go further than simply preventing discrimination; they also require employers to make certain accommodations to allow individuals with disabilities to work. ...
