Deller Law Riversides Prestigious Family Law Firm

Posted on by blogger

Family law cases are emotional and stressful. Changing support orders, obtaining move-away orders and custody agreements require a court hearing. If the case contains allegations of domestic violence, it is likely that these hearings will be longer and more frequent. The complexity of these cases many times makes it necessary to hire a Riverside divorce lawyer or Riverside domestic violence attorney.

Modifying a child support or alimony order usually requires returning to court. A judge will not change the terms of a support agreement without evidence of a valid basis for the change. Individuals seeking to reduce the amount of support they pay will need to show a change in their ability to pay the amount or that the recipient is no longer in need of as much money. Individuals seeking to increase the amount of support will likely need to demonstrate that they are receiving less money than they need, that there is no other resource for additional funds and that they are legally eligible to receive additional support.

A move-away order permits a parent to leave the city or state of their current residence with the child that is the subject of a custody arrangement. This order is usually required when the move will take the child further from the other parent than is legally acceptable. In these cases, the individual seeking to move must demonstrate that a pressing need, such as acquiring a new or better job or being closer to family, requires the move. Because a move-away order changes the original custody arrangement, the childs parents will have to negotiate new custody terms. Many times, this negotiation cannot occur until after the court grants a parents request to move. This typically means that the parties would need to attend another hearing to obtain court approval of the new agreement.

Domestic violence in a divorce case is handled very seriously. If either party claims to have been the victim of domestic violence, a case could easily include a criminal hearing, injunctions and potentially even jail time for one of the parties. The severity of these penalties makes it necessary to hire a Riverside domestic violence attorney.

The complexity of modifying support orders and obtaining a move-away order usually makes acquiring legal representation essential to a successful suit. Gathering sufficient evidence of changed circumstances and presenting a clear, concise argument for why a support order should be modified are not easily accomplished without some understanding of the court system and applicable family laws.

There are many Riverside divorce and domestic violence lawyers, but not all are experienced or prepared to handle contentious, difficult or emotional cases. Deller Family Law has the expertise and resources required to handle divorce cases, domestic violence allegations and to arrange move-away orders.

The Evolution And Rise Of Corporate Law Practices

Posted on by blogger

Corporate law is the law of business or companies. Business organization’s law is a derivative of England’s common law even though it has evolved during the past century.

Most recognized and addressed forms of common law in most countries are:

Limited company
Corporation
Not for profit corporation
Unlimited company
Limited partnership
Partnership
Sole proprietorship
Limited liability partnership

Among the largest of companies are those which are listed on the stock exchanges throughout the world and even the single individual or sole trader has the ability to incorporate themselves, thus limiting their liability to carry on a business. Each law pertains to the country in which the company conducts its business.
Statutory forms of business, proprietary limited companies are formed in several countries such as Australia. And many countries forms of business are unique to that country and its laws. Limited liability limited partnership or LLLC companies as well as Limited liability partnerships which are also known as LLC are noted to be business conducted in the United States.

Dominant business enterprises go by corporate law in conducting their business. This type of law is intended for the study of how directors, shareholders, employees, creditors, and others who have a stake in the success of that business such as consumers and the community conduct themselves under the rules and guidelines of firms in which business is conducted. This law is part of business associations or company’s law which can include partnerships or even trusts or pension funds.

Among the purposes of laws of the corporation are the creation of laws and bylaws aimed at the purpose of protecting companies and businesses from outside interference as well as protection from themselves. Bylaws of a corporation state how the business is to be conducted and additionally set out the powers and rights of directors, shareholders, and officers of the corporation. And while shareholders don’t own the corporation, they do own shares of it and so have a vote in how that business or corporation is run.

While legally a corporation is owned by the shareholders and under the control of the directors, those directors are obligated to perform in the best interest of those shareholders and their investment in the company. They must concentrate on that business exclusively.

While a corporation is conducted like a dictatorship there is no dictator as neither the directors nor the shareholders have the responsibility or control of the company in regards to its purpose and its actions. Corporate social responsibility is the most commonly used and most popular ideology through which companies claim they’re good for society as well as the environment today.

Corporations have key legal aspects or features and as such are considered separate legal personalities which may otherwise be identified as artificial persons or a personhood, this being established in 1895 in an English law case involving the House of Lords. This separate legal personality allows many corporations or corporate groups to be quite flexible with their relationship to tax plans and additionally, overseas operations conducted for the benefit of the corporation.

The United Kingdom, the United States, and most Commonwealth countries have a single board of directors and corporate law is the rule with shareholders playing a large part in the overall conduct of business.

The Most Common Areas Of Law Practice

Posted on by blogger

It should come as no surprise; there are many different types of law. It is up to each individual attorney to decide on which area or areas of law he or she will ultimately practice.

In todays fast paced world, four of the most common areas of practice continue to be personal injury, family law, immigration and criminal defense. Many of the most successful law firms have achieved this success by specializing in litigation and trial strategies, encompassing these areas.

Personal Injury Law. Personal injury law covers MANY types of injuries as well as the worst case scenario, wrongful death. These injuries include but are not limited to: birth injuries, nursing home abuse and neglect, medical malpractice, slip and fall, vehicle accidents (auto, train, bus, ATV, motorcycle, bicycle, airplane) and injuries caused by defective products.

They are caused by the negligence of someone or something and are subject to recoverable damages. The court grants these damages based on facts such as pain and suffering, medical bills, loss of earnings, emotional distress, property damage and lost earning capacity.

Family Law. In many states, family law cases require more court time (and billable hours) than any other kind of case. In reality this area of law covers much more than divorce. It also focuses on prenuptial agreements, domestic violence, separation agreements, property distribution, custody, alimony, child neglect and spousal support.

Family law attorneys are especially mindful of the delicate situations associated with the cases they take on. The feelings of all who are involved are continuously taken into consideration. As a result, struggling families can rest assured that they will receive the best representation possible.

Immigration Law. Because of frequent changes in the law, firms who deal with immigration cases are more than a little knowledgeable on the subject. They have to be.(It is interesting to note that, in the United States, Congress exercises complete authority over immigration laws.)

Immigration law can get quite complicated, depending on the individual situation. Firms practicing this type of law can assist with cases related to: U.S. citizenship, green cards, immigration appeals, visa refusals, business visas, fianc visas, family visas, PERM/labor certification, deportation defense, post conviction relief and more.

Every immigration petition or application should be carefully reviewed before it is submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. For optimum results, every defense court document should be prepared by a knowledgeable attorney, as well. As the saying goes Better to be safe than sorry.

Criminal Defense Law. Criminal defense is a very important (and sought after) area of law. This is due, in part, to the ever increasing number of individuals who are spending time in prison, for crimes they did not commit.

Since each case is different, criminal defense attorneys must keep abreast of the constant changes occurring with all of the laws that pertain to this area of expertise.

Law firms that handle criminal defense cases can help with drug cases, assaults, hand gun charges, theft, drunk driving, domestic violence, felony charges and sex offences.

Most offer no-cost initial consultations and recommend early intervention, in the event that individuals find themselves faced with the unsettling possibility of conviction, regardless of guilt or innocence.

The issues surrounding each of these areas of law can get very complicated. These cases are rarely cut and dry. For this reason alone, the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney or law firm is imperative.

Legal situations can be (and usually are) VERY stressful. Retaining the right legal counsel can go a long way in relieving this apprehension.

It is important to remember that an attorney or law firm has the best interest of the client at heart and will do everything in their power to rectify a bad situation.

The Law Of Human Attraction Explained

Posted on by blogger

Does a Law on Human Attraction Exist?

-Opposites attract- is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people? -In a world that is full of strangers- as a line in a famous song of the 1980’s goes, is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other?

Is attraction a matter of chemistry?

Maybe. According to scientists, the attraction between animals of the opposite sex is all about chemicals called pheromones. The effect of pheromones in behavior of insects is the most studied to date. It has been observed, at least in some experiments, that pheromones are responsible for communication among same species and colony of ants. The horrible odor released by skunks to ward off enemies is said to be a kind of pheromone. Some species of apes rub pheromone-containing urine on the feet of potential mates to attract them. Some scientists believe that animals (usually the females) such as insects and mammals send out these chemical signals to tell the male of their species that their genes are different from theirs. This gene diversity is important in producing offspring with better chances of survival. The perfume industry has capitalized on pheromones as a means to increase one’s sexual attractiveness to the opposite sex. Animals such as the whale and the musk deer were hunted down for these chemicals.

Lately, scientists are looking into the existence of human pheromones and its role in mate selection. There are many conflicting views in the realm of biology, chemistry, genetics, and psychology. Most scientists would assert that these do not exist, or if they do, do not play a role in sexual attraction between a man and a woman. But new researches such as that conducted by Swiss researchers from the University of Bern led by Klaus Wedekind are slowly making these scientists rethink their stand. Their experiment involved women sniffing the cotton shirts of different men during their ovulation period. It was found out that women prefer the smell of men’s shirts that were genetically different, but also shared similarities with the women’s genes. This, like in the case of insects and other mammals, was to ensure better and healthier characteristics for their future children. But researchers also cautioned that preference for a male odor is affected by the women’s ovulation period, the food that men eat, perfumes and other scented body products, and the use of contraceptive pills.

Does personality figure in sexual attraction?

Yes, but so does your perception of a potential mate’s personality. According to a research conducted by Klohnen, E.C., & S. Luo in 2003 on interpersonal attraction and personality, a person’s sense of self-security and at least the person’s perception of his/her partner were found to be strong determinants of attraction in hypothetical situations. What does this tell us? We prefer a certain personality type, which attracts you to a person. But aside from the actual personality of the person, which can only be verified through close interaction through time, it is your perception of your potential partner that attracts you to him/her, whether the person of your affection truly has that kind of personality or not. This could probably account for a statement commonly heard from men and women on their failed relationships: -I thought he/she was this kind of person.-

So how does attraction figure in relationships?

You have probably heard that attraction is a prelude, or a factor towards a relationship. Most probably, at least in the beginning; but attraction alone cannot make a relationship work. It is that attraction that makes you notice a person from the opposite sex, but once you get to know the person more, attraction is just one consideration. Shared values, dreams, and passions become more significant in long-term relationships.

So should I stop trying to become attractive?

More than trying to become physically attractive, work on all aspects of your health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Physical attraction is still a precursor. Remember, biology predisposes us to choose the partner with the healthiest genes. Where your emotions are concerned, just ask this to yourself: would you want to spend time with a person who feels insecure about him/herself? Probably not! There is wisdom in knowing yourself: who you are, your beliefs, values, and dreams. And do not pretend to be someone you are not. Fooling another person by making him/her think that you share the same values and beliefs is only going to cause you both disappointments. When you are healthy in all aspects, attractiveness becomes a consequence and not an end. As mentioned in the Klohnen and Luo’s research, a person’s sense of self-security matters, perhaps even beyond attraction. But remember: do these things for yourself and not for other people. Only then can you truly harness your attractiveness as a person.

The Law of attraction Christianity and the five great myths

Posted on by blogger

The law of attraction has received a lot of attention in recent years and many people believe that it is something new or at least “new age”. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Did you know that there are over 200 verses in the bible that support the precepts of the law of attraction and that some of those verses date back almost 3000 years?

What is the law of attraction? Simply put, the law of attraction states that whatever we think, do or say will result in a change in our universe, a change in our personal world, a change in our circumstance. The key here is that all of our words and actions begin with a thought then we make a decision to act or not act on those thoughts. That makes our thoughts extremely important.

The five great myths

Myth #1 The law of attraction is just not Christian. “As a man thinketh, so he is.” is often quoted in articles and discussions about the law of attraction. That quote comes directly from the book of Proverbs 23:7. Clearly this verse states the importance of our thoughts and that our thoughts will make us who and what we are today. That is a fundamental precept of the law of attraction and is supported by the Bible.

Myth #2 Just visualize what you want and it will happen. This statement is wishful thinking at its best. Nothing ever happens without some type of action preceding it. Its a fundamental law of the universe, physics, and nature; nothing is changed or created without some type of action. This law is also clearly supported by the Bible: Galatians 6:7 “Make no mistake: God will not be mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows.” Clearly, if you sow nothing, you will reap nothing.

Myth #3 God wont help you get wealth. The Bible is filled with accounts of righteous, wealthy people. Read the stories of Solomon, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David and Joseph of Arimathea, the list goes on. Wealthy people in the Bible were NOT condemned for their wealth. Some wealthy people in the Bible were condemned for the way they acquired their wealth, or for not helping the poor. Often times God rewarded righteous people with wealth. God wants us to be abundant in all things. Think for a moment about the following verses:

Second Corinthians 9:8 “Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need; you may have abundance for every good work.”

John 10:10 “I come so that they may have life and have if more abundantly.”

There is not doubt, God wants us to live an abundant life and have abundance in all things.

Myth #4 Money is the root of all evil. First and foremost, the law of attraction is not just about money. It can be applied in every aspect of your life. That being said lets dispel this myth anyway. Money is not the root of all evil. Can you build a church or feed the hungry without money? Can you care for the sick without money? Of course not! If you really want to help the less fortunate, make lots of money and use it to help them. The more you make the more you can help. Here is what the Bible really says: 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evils”
