Who Moves Out of the House During Divorce?
When you find yourself stuck deciding who gets the house during a divorce, you’ll need legal assistance. While the payments made on the house and the upkeep of the house are all decided at the beginning of the divorce process, deciding who gets the home is much more difficult and often feels personal. If the decision can’t be made between the two divorcing parties, then a judge has to get involved. Here’s what you should know about deciding who gets the family home in a divorce. Temporary and Final Orders Hearings When a conclusion about the house cannot be made before the divorce is finalized, the case will need a temporary orders hearing. This is put in place to help divorcing couples decide who is allowed to stay in the home, and who has to move. Even talking about this decision is hard, never mind actually making the decision. This is what you can expect when the situation requires legal involvement. The temporary hearing is used by a judge to provide a short-term ... Read More >
How to Prepare for Your First Divorce Mediation Session
The decision to get divorced is often not an easy one. But what happens when you don’t want a full-blown series of court cases surrounding this experience? Rather than seeking divorce advice from your friends and a DIY solution, you can turn to mediation. Mediation is a form of a divorce settlement that can work for you if you and your spouse are on terms good enough for open, if uncomfortable, communication. If you and your spouse are going through a divorce that is not friendly or amicable, mediation may not be the right option for you. However, like with any other unfamiliar legal situation, you should do your own research before deciding whether or not mediation is something you are interested in. Mediation can seem confusing at first, but we’re here to help you learn what it takes an educated decision about mediation and how to come prepared for your first session. Here’s what you need to know. What is Divorce Mediation? Divorce mediation is a form of settlement that is ... Read More >
Donors Hold Off on Donation Until Beto O’Rourke Decides to Run
Beto O’Rourke’s narrow Texas Senate defeat has top party donors and operatives waiting hesitantly to see if he decides to run for president. Prior to O’Rourke’s fast rise, funders were already apprehensive on committing to a candidate so early in the race with so many contenders to come. However, after learning of the charismatic O’Rourke who managed to easily raise $70 million for his campaign, party donors held off on contributions waiting patiently for O’Rourke’s decision to run. Mikal Watts, a San Antonio-based lawyer and major Democratic money bundler, says that “this kind of level of electric excitement about a candidate since Barack Obama ran in 2008.” It is predicted that if he runs, he will be in the top five. Beto’s campaign has been compared to ‘Bernie’s army’ from 2016 when Sanders led a similar fundraising tactic where small donors were the main source of funds. Read more at 2020frontrunner.com. ...

Laudanum
Laudanum was a widely used medicine in the Victoria Era which contained opium and alcohol and was very addictive. The terms laudanum and tincture of opium are generally interchangeable. Laudanum is mentioned once in the Canon in The Man With The Twisted Lip: Isa Whitney, brother of the late Elias Whitney, D.D., Principal of the Theological College of St. George's, was much addicted to opium. The habit grew upon him, as I understand, from some foolish freak when he was at college; for having read De Quincey's description of his dreams and sensations, he had drenched his tobacco with laudanum in an attempt to produce the same effects. He found, as so many more have done, that the practice is easier to attain than to get rid of, and for many years he continued to be a slave to the drug, an object of mingled horror and pity to his friends and relatives. I can see him now, with yellow, pasty face, drooping lids, and pin-point pupils, all huddled in a chair, the wreck and ruin of a noble ... Read More >

The Large Airy Sitting Room
Every reader of Sherlock Holmes forms in his or her imagination an image of the sitting room at 221B, where almost every story begins. The Canon provides many details of what was in the rooms rented by Holmes and Watson, but relatively few clues about the design or layout of the building at 221B Baker Street. This article reviews previous suggestions for the architectural design of 221B and explains why they simply to not conform with architectural reality or the clues provided by Dr. Watson in his writings. I suggest this possible lay out of the First Floor of 221B based on what is known about the terraced houses in Marylebone in the 1880’s and the information to be gleaned or deduced from the Canon. (Note to Americans: our first floor is the ground floor in London and our second floor is what the British call the "first floor.") These are the primary clues we can derive from Watson’s reminiscences: Dr. Watson in A Study in Scarlet described a, “single large ... Read More >
Was a Jury Verdict in a Million Dollar Child Custody Case Tossed Out Because of Politics?
I am a divorce lawyer now, but once I was a young father battling for custody of my two children. I still can feel the worry and dread such a court case creates. It seems to the parents that everything important to them in the universe is at stake. Parents in such situations feel helpless because so much rides on the lawyers and the judge and jury. No matter who "wins" or loses in a child custody case, both parents should at least leave the courthouse feeling they were treated fairly and that neither side had some sort of inside connection or political advantage. Lawyers and judges who allow it to appear that political clout is influencing a case are damaging the integrity and stability of the justice system we all work and believe in. I have spent many hours on this story and I have tried to be as accurate and fair as possible. I will publish any responses from those involved if they feel their side of the story needs to be told differently than what I have written. Greg ... Read More >
