It is common for people to mix up the term “last will” with the phrase “estate plan.” While a last will is part of an estate plan, the two terms are not interchangeable.

Data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2016 showed how 5,286 motorcyclists lost their lives in crashes that year. This statistic marked a 5.1% increase over the prior year.

If you are a parent who is divorced and sharing custody of your minor children with your ex, the holiday custody schedule can resemble a nightmare scenario if that parent refuses to be flexible. It’s a given that both of you want to spend time with the kids over the holidays. This can be accomplished, but a little flexibility can go a long way to establishing holiday cheer.

Stories of divorced parents (and even the new spouses of those divorced parents) working as a team to raise their children are becoming more common these days. You may, naturally, hope that your post-divorce parenting situation will be the same. Unfortunately, people who are divorcing a narcissist might not ever see that type of cooperation.

Like many other states, Florida has a “Move Over” law. In essence, you’re required to move over one lane whenever it’s safely possible if you see a police car, emergency vehicle, tow truck or any other kind of service vehicle at the side of the road.

Divorce is a relatively common occurrence for modern American families. While divorce rates overall may be lower now than they were a few years ago, there is still a significant number of marriages that will end in dissolution rather than in death.

If you tell someone who is engaged that they should consider a prenuptial agreement, they may just raise their eyes in concern and ask you if you think their marriage is doomed to fail. This is the knee-jerk reaction that a lot of people have, especially in the older generations, when prenups were not all that well accepted.

A motorcyclist who gets pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, and who is then arrested as a result, probably is not driving under the influence for the first time. Researchers have found that most people who do get arrested — and this goes for those driving cars and trucks, as well — have driven while intoxicated many times before that arrest.

Parents who are going through a divorce often have trouble finding a balance with their new parenting duties. Unfortunately, some parents have to deal with the other’s attempts to sabotage their relationship with their child.

Getting arrested for impaired driving or driving under the influence (DUI) in Florida frequently comes with three significant penalties. You will have to pay a fine if you get convicted. You could potentially face jail time, and you will also have to deal with the suspension of your license because of the DUI charges.
