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. Protracted litigation ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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. Bicycle Accidents Don't Just Happen in the Summer This accident proves that bicycling along a major ...

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 ...

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 ...
