Divorce Law in Colorado

Posted on by blogger

If you are considering getting a divorce in Colorado, you will need to become familiar with divorce law in Colorado prior to filing for dissolution of marriage. There are certain requirements that must be met or the court may throw out your case or refuse to enter into a final judgment. Here are some of the primary things you should familiarize yourself with prior to taking action:

Residency and Filing Requirements – To be eligible to file for and be granted dissolution of marriage in Colorado one of the parties to the dissolution must be a resident of the state for a minimum of ninety days immediately prior to filing of the petition.

The petition for dissolution of marriage may be filed in the Colorado County of residence of either party to the petition.

There Must be Grounds for Filing: The dissolution document must state the Colorado grounds upon which the divorce is being sought. In addition, the grounds stated must be substantiated with the court. Basically, the grounds must show that the marriage is irretrievably broken. This must be shown either within the petition or through testimony or the court may throw the case out.

Property Distribution: In Colorado, property distribution must be equitable. This is not the same as equal distribution, but based upon the principle of what is fair. The court encourages the parties to enter into an agreement regarding the distribution of marital property.

If an agreement cannot be reached by the parties the court will decide how to distribute the property without regard to alleged “marital misconduct”. The court will consider such factors as the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of marital property including the value of homemaker contributions, the economic circumstances of each spouse after property distribution, and the consideration of the cost and living situation of any minor children.

Spousal Support: There is no set rule regarding spousal support and not all cases will require it. Whether one spouse will be required to support another either on a temporary or permanent basis is decided on the circumstances of each individual case and may be agreed upon by the parties of by the court’s discretion.

Child Custody: Colorado courts will attempt to lessen any emotional trauma of the children of divorcing couples. When parents cannot come to an agreement regarding child custody arrangements the court will establish a custody order. In some cases the court may appoint an attorney to represent the best interests of the children when deciding how parental responsibilities are to be divided between parents.

Divorce is forever. Careful thought should be given by anyone who is considering the dissolution of their marriage to all of the consequences of the action. Before beginning the action of filing for dissolution, be sure to become familiar with the divorce law in Colorado either through research on your own or by contacting an attorney with experience in this area of the law.

Is the Law of Attraction the Shortcut to Success

Posted on by blogger

A lot of people are aspiring to be successful in life and they want to do it fast. One of the things that people turn their heads to is the amazing promise of the Law of Attraction. Yes, the Law of Attraction can give you anything and everything you want but it must not be regarded as the fastest route to success.

Learning the principles of the Law of Attraction requires work, dedication, focus, and time. These principles must be practiced rigorously to ensure that you are getting what you want with the help of the Law of Attraction.

What Kind of Work is Required?

When you use the Law of Attraction, you wont have to work that hard, but you will have to exert some effort. I know a lot of people have the idea that to be successful or to be wealthy, you must work really hard.

Well, that may be right. Many people have become successful because they worked really hard for it. But when you consciously use the Law of Attraction there is only one thing you have to do, and it doesnt require too much effort or hard work; and that is to think.

According to Mahatma Gandhi, “A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes.” The moment you think of what you want, you are already attracting it to you. You might say, “Ive always thought of what I want but I never get it.”

You see, there is a big difference between wanting and having. If you keep on thinking about wanting this or wanting that, you are just going to attract more wanting into your life because wanting is what you thought of most of the time.

You have or become what you think about most of the time. When you think of what you want as already a part of your reality, that is when magic happens. This kind of expectation is the best way to attract what you want into your life.

The Law of Attraction Requires Action

If you are successful at attracting success into your life, the universe will present people, events and situations to give that big break to you. You must be aware of it whenever this happens. I remember the story of the reverend who drowned in the flood.

A lot of people who were trying to rescue him came to his aid. They were in rafts, in boats, even in a helicopter. But to all of them his answer was “God will save me.” In the end he drowned. So when he was already at heaven, he asked why was he not saved. The answer he got was “Idiot, we sent you rafts, boats, and a helicopter!”

Have a great sense of awareness of the things that are happening around you. Who knows, that invitation to an event, or that good deed that is waiting for you to take action, might be the boat that the universe sent to save you.

The Law of Attraction is not necessarily the shortcut to success for it requires your burning desire, your self-belief, and your thoughts (which is the most important by the way) for it to give you anything and everything you want in life.

Mississippi Car Salvage Laws

Posted on by blogger

Auto salvage laws were implemented as a measure against the operation of unsafe vehicles on the roadways and Mississippi car salvage laws are no different. Before you are able to drive a recycled car in Mississippi, you are required to make sure that you meet the requirements for inspection and insurance, which are set by the Department of Public Safety. Whether you are the owner of just one salvage car or you sell recycled cars for a living, you must ensure that these requirements are met, since failure to comply with the laws can result in penalties or fines being imposed. Below are a few of the requirements:

Salvage Title

All trucks and cars operated in the state of Mississippi should have a title under code 162 of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS). You can visit the nearest DPS office in order to get a title for your salvaged car and will be asked to provide your address, name and the identification number of the vehicle that is provided on the salvage title application. Additionally, be sure to provide information relating to the type of damage the car suffered.

Motor Vehicle Inspection

Section 63-1309 of Code 162 requires that salvage cars must be inspected at any authorized auto inspection service station in Mississippi before the car is allowed on the states roads. Ensure you take proof that the car has been repaired when you go to have the car inspected as well as photos of the car before the repair was done. Remember, your inspection has to be done within the district you reside so make your appointments accordingly.

Flood/Hail Damage

Mississippis Salvage Inspection Unit has a Bureau of Investigation, which asks that insurance companies make contact with the DPS before they take over the ownership of any car declared salvage. In addition, insurance companies are also required to title the salvage car in the companys name beforehand. Four photos showing the state of the car before repair is also required in this case. The title for cars suffering flood damage will be marked Flood Brand but for those with hail damage, the title will remain unmarked.

Selling the Car

The DPS Bureau of Investigations require that you inform the buyer that the purchase is a salvage car as this will stay a permanent part of the cars title history. This requirement will apply regardless of how the vehicle was damaged.

Law Of Dominate Thought

Posted on by blogger

Earl Nightingale, the great writer, speaker, and broadcaster, discussed the Law of Dominant Thought in his timeless famous recording “The Strangest Secret” by calling it the key to success when he proclaimed, “we become what we think about.”

The problem that occurs with many people when they attempt to change their lives by changing their thinking patterns and fail is that they do not make what they are thinking about their dominant thoughts of the day.

You will not and should not expect the changes you desire in your life with thinking positive for just a few moments a day and spend the rest of the day thinking negatively.

Just as a runner who merely jogs a mile a day should not expect to be able to run a full twenty six mile marathon, the changes you seek in your life will not happen with a just a few minutes of positive thinking a day.

To get the changes you truly desire you must take full control and think positive with the anticipation of getting positive results all day long everyday till it becomes a habit.

Up to this point in your life it has been your thought patterns that has led you to your beliefs and it will be up to you to change those thought patterns and create new positive beliefs from this moment on that will lead you to where you wish to be in your future.

You must make your positive thoughts your dominant thoughts in all areas of your life. Only then will you start to see the changes you desire and the life you dream of.

Starting a bankruptcy law firm

Posted on by blogger

For the last five years, the story of filing bankruptcy proceedings in the US has drastically increased. For instance, in May 2009, there was a 41.4% year-over-year increase in the daily bankruptcy filing rate. Each year, thousands of individuals and businesses file bankruptcy due to their inability to pay their creditors. However, as the US bankruptcy code is complicated enough, anyone who wishes to file for bankruptcy needs legal guidance in order to guide them throughout the filing process. Today, there are thousands of law firms across the US, but firms that specifically deal with bankruptcy cases are much better equipped and efficient to represent their clients interests before the bankruptcy court. So keeping in mind the circumstances and data, its evident that you may be beneficial if you start a bankruptcy law firm within your state. But before that you need to have the required legal expertise and know the steps that involve the formation of a bankruptcy law firm.

Instructions

1) First, you need to set up an office for your bankruptcy law firm. Whether its a law firm or a small business corporation, you need to set up an office in order to deal with your clients. It can be located anywhere in a commercial office park, in a virtual location or in your home. Even if you think to continue your business from your home, you still need a place where you can meet confidentially with your clients. Nowadays, many lawyers are making use of “Virtual office” for this purpose. Virtual offices are typically established in commercial office part. However, there is an advantage in using virtual office for your firm. You just need to pay for the time you spend in office, which is completely in contrast to paying a flat monthly payment for renting a space. Again, there are some other equipment that you need for your office like a computer, printer, scanner, copier, fax machine, telephone and other furniture.
2) Make sure you, your partners or other associates are sworn into the federal court of in district or region. As federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases, a bankruptcy case cannot be filed in a state court. Therefore, if you or your associates have only been sworn in the state court, you wont be able to file or argue bankruptcy cases in the federal court.
3) Purchase some malpractice insurance, as these will cover bankruptcy proceedings for your firm. These days, most states require law firms to maintain a minimum amount of legal malpractice insurance. Here you should know one thing. Regarding insurance premium, even if you have opted for minimum coverage, the laws that your firm handle on a regular basis will assert the same. Therefore, you need to inform your insurance service provider that your firm is going to practice bankruptcy law. Otherwise, your insurance policy will be of no use.
4) Keep yourself and your associates informed about the latest bankruptcy laws, regulations and procedures. In order to do this, you can attend Continuing Legal Education (CLE) courses on bankruptcy topics or purchase bankruptcy practice guides and books from Westlaw or Lexis Nexis. You can also search the internet to learn about practical bankruptcy case studies and improve your skills.
