The ending of a relationship is often a very difficult time emotionally for all parties involved. If the couple has children, it will be necessary to determine child custody and parenting time agreements that allows parents to remain a part of the lives of their children.

However, if they are unable to come to an agreement on their own, the court will issue an order that both parties may dislike. Once child custody has been established, it can be very difficult to change and it ...

Back in 2005, the federal government made a number of important changes to the bankruptcy laws. The changes were encompassed in the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, a landmark piece of legislation that reframed the way in which most people thought about filing for bankruptcy. Many people incorrectly thought that it was impossible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection after 2005. Not long after that legislation was passed came the onset of the so-called "Great Recession" that our country is still feeling the effects of today. This ...

Police have a lot of power when investigating alleged criminal activity. If they suspect an individual may be involved in the distribution of illegal drugs, they will often conduct extensive investigations into the suspect. Despite these powers, police must still adhere to the rights afforded to citizens in the U.S. Constitution, specifically protections against searches and seizures that would violate the Fourth Amendment. A recent Supreme Court case addressed the use of drug-detecting dogs to establish probable cause to search a vehicle in a Florida traffic stop. After ...

The next time you see someone talking on a cell phone while navigating traffic -- or you catch yourself reaching for your own phone while behind the wheel -- here's a little food for thought: A National Highway Traffic Safety report found that distracted driving contributed to 10 percent of all fatal crashes in the United States in 2010 and 18 percent of all car accidents with injuries.

Recently, the Colorado Supreme Court reversed a centuries-old rule governing the use of confessions as evidence in criminal cases. The standard for admitting confessions as evidence in such cases has been the corpus delicti rule. "Corpus delicti" literally translates to the "body of the crime." In other words, the rule requires the admission of evidence -- besides the confession -- to prove that a crime actually occurred. The confession alone is not sufficient to show a crime was committed. In overturning the rule, the Colorado Supreme Court elaborated ...

One of the more recent technological advancements in the criminal justice world is DNA analysis. More and more frequently, especially in Texas, DNA evidence gathered from a crime scene is used to identify someone who may have been present. It is also used to exclude someone from consideration as a suspect or to save him or her from a wrongful conviction.
