People who are creating estate plans often think about the will, trusts and power of attorney designations. What they might not realize is that not all assets are handled by the estate plan.

When a police officer pulls you over because they suspect drunk driving, there are usually two kinds of evidence that will help build their case. One will be their personal recollections and written report about the situation.

A family business is a source of pride for many couples. That same business can also be a source of stress, however, if the owners decide to divorce.

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.

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.
