Hawaii Superferry ceases operations after ruling
Business Law
Hawaii's new inter-island ferry service has ceased operations in the wake of a state Supreme Court ruling.
Hawaii Superferry, which operates an Oahu-Maui catamaran that can accommodate 836 passengers and about 200 vehicles, was forced into the move Monday.
The high court rejected a state law that allowed the company to operate while an environmental study is being conducted.
Superferry said in a statement that it was "hugely disappointed" in the decision.
In order to proceed prudently, the company said it had "decided to cease operations for the present."
Superferry says it will make one additional Honolulu-Maui round trip Thursday to get vehicles back to their home islands.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
