When spouses or domestic partners get ready to file for divorce or legal separation, they may have different points of view on issues like property division, custody of the children, or support. But just because you may have these disagreements, it does not mean you have to go in front of a judge to resolve them.

Consider that a judge can never know about your relationship - as a couple and as a family - as well as you know yourselves. So it often makes sense to work out as many issues as you can out of court. In most cases, resolving your disputes outside of court saves time and money.

More importantly, it can help you avoid or minimize a lot of the negative emotional impact that contested divorce cases can have. Divorce or separation is a difficult emotional process. You and your family will surely feel the impact of the legal processes and the emotional issues. For help dealing with the emotional impact of divorce on you and your children and information to help you work out some of the issues around your children, visit Families Change, an online guide for families going through separation and divorce. It has 3 versions - one for parents, one for children, and one for teens and pre-teens.

There are a number of ways that you can approach your divorce or legal separation case to focus on resolving the issues in the case by agreement. With these approaches, you can get help trying to reach agreements when you cannot do it all yourselves without help. Click to learn more about agreements in divorce cases.

Mediation

One of these approaches is trying mediation. In mediation, an impartial person (the mediator) helps people reach an agreement they can both accept. The mediator helps people talk the issues through in a way that often makes it easier for the couple to settle the dispute themselves. Mediators do not make decisions. Agreements can only be reached if everyone agrees. The mediator will not force you to agree to anything.

Even if you do not think you will be able to agree to everything, mediation can help you resolve some issues, so that you can concentrate on the issues you have not resolved and have a judge make the decision on those. Also, by preparing for mediation, you will prepare yourself for trial in case you do not reach an agreement.

To find a mediator in your area, you can:

Check your local telephone directory (most have a section for mediation),

Search on the Internet,

Contact a community organization,

Contact your local bar association, or

Contact the local court to see if they have a mediation panel.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, make sure you are safe and feel comfortable with the mediation process. Learn how to protect yourself and find out more about resources for victims of domestic violence.

Collaborative divorce

Collaborative divorce (also called "collaborative law") is another approach to handling your divorce or legal separation.

In a collaborative divorce process, you and your spouse or domestic partner negotiate an agreement with professional help. You each hire specially trained collaborative lawyers who advise and assist you in negotiating the settlement agreement.

You meet separately with your own lawyer. The lawyers and both clients also meet together regularly. Sometimes you and your spouse or domestic partner can bring in other people, like child custody specialists or accountants, to help you settle your case without having to go in front of a judge in a contested case.

For a collaborative divorce, both spouses or domestic partners and their lawyers usually sign a contract that says they agree they will not go to court. If the parties cannot reach a settlement and end up having to go to court, the lawyers agree to withdraw from the case. If that happens, you will have to get a new lawyer or represent yourself.

There are many collaborative law resources on the Internet. Do an Internet search for "collaborative law in California" and you will find information and resources to find a lawyer that provides collaborative law representation. You can also call your local bar association and find out if there are any "collaborative law" groups in your county.

Resolve Your Divorce or Separation Out of Court

killing someone while drunk and driving, then getting jail time for it can be an example of fairness because the family will want justice and getting jail time is the right thing to do, one because the person killed someone and two because he was drinking and driving which you already shouldn't be doing.

The penalties for killing someone while driving drunk are quite severe, and vary by state law.

The penalties for killing someone while driving drunk are quite severe. Typically, a motorist who's convicted of a DUI-related (or BUI-related (boating under the influence)) killing is looking at felony charges that carry jail or prison time, fines, and license suspension or revocation.

What Charges Will You Face?

Generally, a motorist who causes the death of another person while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol faces felony charges. However, states differ on how DUI-related killings are charged. In many cases, the prosecutor will have several options.

DUI enhancements. Some states have DUI statutes that specify more severe penalties for DUI offenses involving deaths. In Michigan, for instance, a standard first OWI (operating while intoxicated) is a misdemeanor and carries up to 93 days in jail and a maximum $500 in fines. But a Michigan OWI offender who causes the death of another person is guilty of a felony and faces up to 15 years in prison and $2,500 to $10,000 in fines. (Read more about Michigan's vehicular homicide laws.)

Vehicular homicide and vehicular manslaughter. Lots of states have laws that are specific to driving-related unlawful killings. For example, in Florida, a motorist can be convicted of "vehicular homicide" for causing the death of another while driving in a "reckless manner." The vehicular homicide statute applies to all killings that result from driving in a reckless manner-not just those that involve driver intoxication. Generally, a Florida vehicular homicide conviction is a second-degree felony and carries up to 15 years in prison and a maximum $10,000 in fines. Florida law also provides a DUI enhancement that makes a DUI-related killing a second- or first-degree felony. So, for DUI-related killings, Florida prosecutors can choose whether to charge vehicular homicide, the DUI-death enhancement, or both.

California, on the other hand, doesn't have a DUI-death enhancement (unless multiple victims were killed or injured) but does have vehicular manslaughter laws specific to DUI-related offenses. A California DUI offender who-with negligence or gross negligence-violates a traffic law or does a lawful act which might produce death in an unlawful manner and kills another person can be charged with "negligent vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated" or "gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated." Depending on the circumstances, a convicted motorist faces four years to life in prison.

Manslaughter and murder. Even if a state has laws that specifically apply to driving- or DUI-related killings, someone who kills another while driving under the influence can typically be convicted of a more general crime-like involuntary manslaughter or second-degree murder.

Getting education can be an example of a human right because no matter if you aren't able to pay for it, where you're from what type of race you are ,you're able to go to school because its part of basic human rights.

No child, no matter their race, religion, or economic background, should be discriminated against when it comes to receiving an education.
Education is a wondrous thing. It gives many the opportunity to expand their knowledge and broaden their mindset, in turn improving the outlook of their own futures. Education has the power to move mountains, so to speak, but we often fail to realize that the distribution of education is completely imbalanced, and largely depends on one's economic and social standing, particularly in western countries like the United States. Thereof, for those who born into poverty-stricken communities, there are significantly less resources and opportunities made available.

How One Fearless Leader Changed the Lives of Hundreds of Students

Linda Cliatt-Wayman, the principal of a low-performing school in North Philadelphia, took it upon herself to make a change in her community and to brighten the outlook of life for many hopeless children. She is the epitome of a leader who not only works for success, but because she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her students. There are several aspects integral to developing a strong sense of leadership within a community struggling with crime and poverty, as Cliatt-Wayman discusses in her TED Talk, How to fix a broken school? Lead fearlessly, and love hard.

As the leader, Cliatt-Wayman acknowledges that it is her responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of her students, and she does so full heartedly. A leader who does not believe fully in herself and her team is ill suited for the position. However, Cliatt-Wayman, having experienced the school system from the very same perspective of the students herself, was fully aware of the problems her students faced, and that she would be responsible for fixing them. "I am the principal, and having that title required me to lead", it is this acceptance of responsibility that molded the incredible leader Cliatt-Wayman would soon become.

Positive results were seen almost immediately since Cliatt-Wayman came into her position as principal, as Strawberry Mansion was soon removed from the 'Persistently Dangerous' list. Her grand accomplishment did nothing to stifle her work ethic, as she continued to work hard to improve conditions around the school.

According to Cliatt-Wayman, the first step towards combatting the problem is acknowledging that there is one. It is an imminent aspect of our human nature to fall prone to creating excuses. Cliatt-Wayman recognizes this, and came to the conclusion that if they wanted to see noticeable results, they would have to first fully accept and take responsibility for the problems their school faced. "Eliminating excuses at every turn became my primary responsibility", said Cliatt-Wayman. What follows an open acceptance of one's own flaws is an open-minded pursuit for solutions.

This extraordinary woman credits her success not only to her determination and passion for helping her students, but mainly to the unconditional love she felt as an administrator towards them. And it was love and sympathy with which Cliatt-Wayman was motivated to do the work she did for her students.

This story, although a happy one of success when faced with adversity, brings to the light one of the many flaws with the public education system today. The imbalance of wealth distribution when comparing some Upper East Side private schools to schools such as Strawberry Mansion, which are located in dangerous and poverty-stricken neighbourhoods, becomes easily noticeable. We further have to take into consideration that there are those who succeed amidst the greatest of adversity, and those who fail when handed everything on a platter. It is the will and passion, which sets success apart from failure, but this will is hard to come by when there are no positive role models in one's life.

Flaws in the Public Education System

In other relevant news, a video has recently surfaced on the Internet, concerning the safety and maltreatment of an elderly high school teacher, who was emotionally and verbally abused by her students. This video has amassed millions of views, and garnered large criticism from around the world. It seems atrocious that a teacher can be so openly abused and threatened in the United States, the nation that is a beacon of democracy and freedom for much of the world.

No child, no matter their race, religion, or economic background, should be discriminated against when it comes to receiving an education. If there is one thing that is crucial in our pursuit of equality and balance in society, it is the acknowledgement that a proper upbringing and exposure to a positive environment is what determines the path of our lives. If a child grows up in a poverty-stricken community, ridden by crime, it is significantly more difficult, if not impossible, for them to succeed in life, especially if they have no positive role models to look up to. It is the work of impeccable leaders of the like of Cliatt-Wayman, which provides such children with the opportunities they were not given.

There comes a time, when we, as a society, must rejoice and reflect on the flaws in our community. It comes with the acknowledgement that the public school system is severely flawed, that we must take up measures to fix it. There's no reason why in the 21st century, the disparity between the classes is greater than ever. As we progress, so must our social justice laws and movements, to ensure that the efforts of leaders like Cliatt-Wayman do not go unnoticed.
