Objection, Dogmatique begs for facts not in evidence (finding another person's views inconsistent with your personal agenda does not make said views “inaccurate”)
Most of the divorce cases coming...

There is no way that I know of to predict what geographic limitation might be placed on a warrant. I saw a case a few years ago where a person arrested on a warrant (felony possession) out of...
Sorry but cdwjava is on the losing side of this debate in a karma sort of sense.
Because, America incarsarates the large per-capita population of any civilized society. AND America cannot pays...
I wrote the pleading and brief. Oral arguments where neither requests nor granted. There was no "first chair"
Oh and BTW. Unless you have filed an entry of appearance on behalf of one of the...
As much as I would like to mention the current class-action suit brought against the US Census Bureau (high profile law-firm versus governmental agency = new case law) doing so would detract from...
My family (dad, sister, brother, cousins) are lawyers.
My last involvement with criminal law was last year. We were able to get a ruling from judical jackass of a Judge reversed on appeal. ...
Virtually every state has adopted some type of "no fault" divorce. Alimony is awarded by considering equitable factors such as a spouses contribution to acquiring marital assests, realistic needs,...
Some criminal. DUIs are common but police/prosecutors have become so well practiced that there is rarely much to do with a DUI other than plea-bargain. Mostly family law.
The Supreme Court first recognized that Title VII plaintiffs can make out a viable employment discrimination claim without alleging or proving discriminatory intent in Griggs v. Duke Power, 401 U.S....

What objective criteria should be used to identify a "primary aggressor"? Sounds like a "Leper with the most fingers" situation that gives...
Paralegal is accurate though I do have a law degree. Lots of research.
My use of the word "insulting" pertains to the intent of the abuser. Yes, I do believe that non-injurious physical contact,...
I prepare divorce litigation for trial so I am very, very familiar with DV laws.
The fatal flaw with current DV laws is that they fail to differentiate between the very common petty insulting...

Sorry if I mislead cbg. The EEOC assigned an investigator to my case last week, therefore, it might be "too soon to presume".
Current research strongly suggests that EEOC will not be satisfied...
Spousal support is a family court issue. Domestic Battery is a criminal issue. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Mentioning the two in the same post suggests some sort of contrived...
Courts cannot allocate any debts (real or contrived) which are allegedly owed from one spouse to the other spouse. The claim that you've supported his standard of living in the past is without merit...
Unfortunately, cbg assessment sounds all too realistic. While I often moonlight as a legal research consultant, I haven't the savvy to navigate uncharted territory in federal courts without...
Thanks for your desire to provide helpful answers cbg. Please do however note that EEOC guidelines do not have force of law. In fact, caselaw exists where Courts have explicitly refused to defer to...
Prosecutions for domestic battery vary wildly from county to county in Illinois. The State's Attorney in Mclean County has been re-elected several times running on a zero-tolerance for domestic...
Different states have very different legal definations pertaining to domestic violence. For example, non-injurious physical contact is not a chargeable offense in Washington.
Men and Women have...
If viewing yourself as a victim and deriding your parental partner as a criminal makes you feel vindicated, then so be it. You are a victim.
Remedies within family law have evolved over...
Esteele’s unsolicited advice might be sage if not so presumptuous. “Hitting”/”Striking” my wife was neither alleged nor did such ever occur. In Illinois, battery is defined as any sort of physical...
It does not sound as if skibunny9 solidily falls into a "protected class" (race, gender, age, disability). One could argue that it was a childish prank, however, it is not unlawful to discriminate...
