Many divorces, in New Jersey and elsewhere, involve awards of alimony -- otherwise known as spousal support.

But should judges have unrestrained discretion to set the amount and duration of alimony payments? There is a growing call in New ...

Yet, it can be extremely difficult for new parents to recognize when the negligence of hospital staff has led to a birth injury. For that reason, it can be helpful for new parents to learn about some of the most common birth ...

When a person serves in the military, he or she may have special obligations that can complicate other life issues. For example, it may be difficult to address life problems while completing service responsibilities. Fortunately, as laws evolve, service persons are given more leeway and time, permitting them to focus on both military issues and other important life issues. One important issue is child custody and visitation, which can become a highly contested and messy topic subsequent to a military divorce.

I'm proud to be from West Virginia. That wasn't always the case. For a span of about a decade and a half that started when I entered college and went well through most of graduate school, when people would ask where I was from I simply would answer "fifty miles south of Pittsburgh." It was simple enough, not a lie and yet not entirely the truth. Identifying myself with the city that I had grown to love was a lot easier than being attached to a state that had an image that was, well, less than flattering. Images of ignorance, stereotypical redneck behavior and ...
