Driver License Issues

We all get tickets. It does not make you a wrong person. You may have been speeding just slightly over the speed limit. Maybe you got nabbed in a speed trap. There are a variety of other traffic violations that the local municipality may give you. When you get a ticket, it is such a hassle. You have to take the time to go down to the courthouse. This in itself is a mess since the courthouse is located in the downtown area. Once there you have to wait in a long line to get designated to a courtroom. After that, you move into the courtroom where you have to wait your turn to see the judge and be thrown at the mercy of the municipal justice system.

Inside the Courtroom

Once you have made your way into the courtroom and you are now in the presence of the district attorney and the judge you may be at a disadvantage. When you get into those wheels of justice, you may feel intimidated. The authorities know this and can use it to their advantage.

They are Your Kids Too

They are Your Kids Too

Divorce is a tough time. And for any parent who has been served with divorce papers, now faces the uncertainty of the role they will play in the life of their children. Some may say that Texas is a mommy state, meaning that women are more likely to gain custody than men. This is for a variety of reasons. Some might believe that being the male makes you the breadwinner and does not leave father time to take or pick the kids up from school. As such, the female may seem like the better candidate. This is not fair to the father as he loves his children and deserves to play a role in their lives. Dads have come a long way. Lately, it seems like there is not an automatic decision that the mom will get primary custody. Although when younger children are involved, the mother’s may tend to grant the mother custody. It’s may not be likely when older children are involved; dads have a real shot at 50-50 custody.

The D-Word

The D-Word

Whenever people get married, the last thing they think is that this happy union will end in divorce. The reality is that no one can truly foresee the future. The sad reality is that people change over time. So while you may have been perfect for each other in the beginning, as both of you have aged and matured you have changed and come to the realization that maybe you are not compatible together anymore. You decide that staying in this relationship is unhealthy to both of you, and the best course of action is for you two to call it quits and move on with your lives. This, of course, is easier said than done, and there are issues at hand that may cause the split to be not so painless.

Complications of Divorce

Getting a divorce is not as easy as just breaking up with a boyfriend or a girlfriend. You have built a life together. So there are several reasons why divorce may be a complicated issue. The first and foremost is children. Children complicate the divorce as both parents truly love their children, and want to have their children with them. The issue custody and kids are often what makes a divorce such a messy ordeal. Many say that it is for this reason that they do not divorce. They “stay together for the children.” One has to ask themselves though, is it really in the best interest for the kids to live in a household where the marriage is not working out? The answer is no. So while a custody battle maybe heartbreaking ordeal just bear in mind that in the long run, it is truly better for everyone involved.

The Struggle of a Suspended License

The Struggle of a Suspended License

We live in a day and age that one must have a car and be able to drive. The reason for this is because everything is so spread out and not typically within walking distance. No one works or goes to school within walking distance. They have to drive. This, of course, is the side effect of urban sprawl that occurred in the 1950s and 1960s with the rise of the suburbs. People moved away from the inner-city and into the suburbs. With the roads that were put in place, this was really no big deal as it was not a chore to simply drive to work. It is easy to see, however, that if someone does not have a driver’s license or a car they are put at an extreme disadvantage in regards to upward mobility in society.

The Unfair Disadvantage

This is what makes having a suspended driver’s license so arbitrary. Yes, if you broke the law then you deserve to be punished within reason. But if you have your driver’s licenses suspended then you may have to quit your job, quit school, or other life-altering situations that you may never recover from. If the idea of the punishment is to rehabilitate, then this is the furthest from the proper punishment. As a person that no longer has a driver’s license can no longer be a productive, law-abiding, member of society. This is surely not what the judge had intended when judgment was passed. In order to keep your life on track and to learn from your mistakes, you must be able to work still and progress in life. If your license is suspended, then this is impossible.

Do You Have a Will?

Do You Have a Will?

A final Will and Testament is not something that people like to think about. The thought of going to the other side is terrifying to most. The sad reality, however, is that this causes people not to prepare for the inevitable. When a person does not have their final wishes documented, it becomes an enormous burden for the family, and worse, it can cause a real rift in a family as people begin to fight over what they thought the deceased wishes were. Is this really what you want your family to go through? More than likely not. Now I know what you are thinking. I am young all considered, do I really need a Will? The answer is still a resounding yes. You have no idea when you may die; it could be tomorrow in an accident.

Are You Sure Your Family Knows?

You may still be apprehensive. You may make the argument that your family knows what you want after you pass. But do they? WE have seen case after case of families torn apart because each member has a differing interpretation as to what you wanted after you have passed. This can have irreconcilable consequences and split the family apart forever. Is that what you want as your legacy? Surely not. So the best way to combat this is to have a final will and testament in writing so that there can be no disputing or fighting after you have passed. It is indeed never too early to do this. As tomorrow could be your final day. The reality is that your family will be going through so much that it is not fair to them to put them through the conflict that will arise.
