Divorce, like marriage, is something that should never be taken lightly.
Contrary to popular belief, there are no winners in a divorce.
If you have determined that divorce is necessary in your case, or if your spouse has already filed for a divorce, then you need to speak with an experienced attorney who can explain the process to you and guide you through the difficult times ahead.
You need to hire an attorney who knows how to look out for your best interests and is able to fight for you if necessary.

It is often said that children are the ones who truly suffer in a divorce.
This is why child custody is one of the most important and most vigorously debated terms of a divorce.
If you are going through a divorce it is important that you understand the facts about child custody.
There are really two distinct matters that go into child custody: legal custody and physical custody.
Legal custody involves a parent's right to make decisions such as education, extra curricular activities, medical treatment, etc. Physical custody involves the child's residency.

A single attorney cannot ethically represent both parties in a divorce, however it is not uncommon for one party to hire an attorney to draft the necessary paperwork for an uncontested divorce.
An uncontested divorce is one where all of the terms, such as property division, child custody, visitation, and alimony are mutually agreed upon.
Uncontested divorce is definitely the way to go if the parties want to minimize the time and expense of the divorce proceedings.
The attorney handling the uncontested divorce can only represent one of the parties and it must be clear to everyone that no legal advice is given to the other party except that they have the right to hire their own attorney.

Most people believe that there is a high correlation between drug use and crime.
This is extremely difficult to quantify, however, because even when drugs are involved, they are likely to be just one factor among many as to why the offender committed the crime.
The United States has been involved in the "War on drugs" mainly due to this perception that drug use inevitably becomes a springboard to other crime.
Therefore, we see an increasingly large prison population of non-violent drug offenders.

In Alabama, there are a very wide variety of different crimes involving property.
These crimes run the gamut from misdemeanors all the way up to Class A Felonies, the most serious classification of offenses.
The differences in these offenses often center around the value of the property taken and the circumstances of the taking.
For example, taking a $15 pair of earrings from a department store is normally a shoplifting misdemeanor.
This action is considered less serious because the value of the item is low and the danger to other people is low as well.
