Tips for Divorced Parents During COVID-19 Quarantine

Tips for Divorced Parents During COVID-19 Quarantine

Child Custody
With schools closed and many parents working from home or on hiatus from work, many people are focusing on family bonding time and activities that will keep their children safe. However, this time can be significantly more stressful for divorced parents who are sharing custody. At this time, stay-at-home orders are not intended to impact custody arrangements, so you should plan to continue on your regular custody schedule. If you and the other parent are on good terms, you should work together to come up with the safest plan that will keep each of you and your children socially isolated as much as possible. However, what if you cannot agree on a plan? What if your ex refuses to acknowledge social distancing or stay-at-home measures? If you believe that the…

The Benefits of Child Custody Settlements

The Benefits of Child Custody Settlements

Child Custody
When parents decide to divorce or not live together anymore, it is necessary to determine how they will share custody. Most parents want to spend as much time with their children as possible, so they might be inclined to fight for primary custody, which can lead to disagreements. While it might take some negotiation to find a middle ground, reaching a settlement agreement out of court can be highly beneficial. Avoiding Custody Litigation If parents cannot reach a compromise for custody arrangements, the matter will need to go before the court. Each party will present their arguments, and the judge will make the decision how custody will be divided. You know your situation, schedule, and child better than the judge ever will, so the resulting ruling might not be ideal…

Factors that Can Complicate a California Divorce

Factors that Can Complicate a California Divorce

Divorce
Some divorce cases wrap up relatively simply and quickly, while other cases can drag on for a year or longer, costing spouses significant resources. So, what are some factors that can make a case more complicated? Children Divorce cases that do not involve children only have financial matters - such as property division or alimony - to resolve. However, if you and your spouse have children together, it automatically adds the issues of child custody and child support to your plate. Many parents are highly emotional when it comes to spending time with their children, so custody matters can be difficult to resolve. Even if you agree on a custody arrangement, having children involved can still delay the outcome of your case. Complicated Assets and Property Property division is a…

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

Personal Injury
Your brain is the control center of your body, your cognitive abilities, and your personality. When the delicate tissue of your brain is damaged, it is no surprise that many problems can result. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can happen anytime you suffer a trauma or a sharp jolt to your head, as your brain can hit the inside of your skull and sustain damage. TBIs can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage and how long the effects of the injury will last. A mild TBI - commonly known as a concussion - will generally have symptoms that last for a few weeks. On the other hand, a severe TBI can cause permanent physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments. In many situations, brain injuries happen because…

Auto Technology Might Put Pedestrians in Danger

Auto Technology Might Put Pedestrians in Danger

Personal Injury
In the past decade, the technology that comes with motor vehicles has changed greatly. Many cars have automatic braking systems, obstacle detection and alarms, in-car navigation systems, and more. These safety systems are meant to prevent accidents and keep motorists safe from harm. However, drivers should not rely on safety systems too much, as they can be flawed. Having automatic brakes is not a reason to allow yourself to get distracted and stop paying attention to the road. Specifically, one recent study found that braking systems on four different popular car models did not prevent pedestrian collisions. AAA conducted tests regarding: 2019 Honda Accords with the Honda Sensing technology2019 Toyota Camry with Toyota Safety Sense2019 Tesla Model 3 with emergency braking2019 Chevrolet Malibu with Front Pedestrian Braking systems The findings…
