While most Illinois motorists are aware that the penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) are quite severe in the Land of Lincoln, many may be surprised to discover that the mere act of refusing to take a breath test if arrested for a DUI in Illinois has severe consequences all its own.

Specifically, this law states that drivers are "deemed" to have given consent to be tested for alcohol or ...

Some people facing divorce do not want The War of the Roses, but rather a more respectful, reasonable approach. A couple may not be angry or confrontational despite the impending end of their marriage, or even if negative feelings are there, they may feel they can work through things and come to agreement. Another fear can be that the traditional divorce process is going to eat up too many of a family's assets through legal fees, not leaving enough to set up two separate households. Collaborative divorce One approach to divorce in New Jersey and in many other states ...
