Coventry says court accepts $150.5M La. settlement
Class Action News
Coventry Health Care Inc. said Tuesday a court approved its $150.5 million settlement of a class action lawsuit that accused the health insurer of violating Louisiana laws.
The company will record a gain of $159.3 million, or 68 cents per share, in the second quarter because it set aside more money than it needed to cover the settlement. In July, a state appeals court affirmed a $262 million judgment against Coventry's First Health Group Corp. unit. In February the plaintiffs and Coventry agreed to settle the case for $150.5 million.
The lawsuit alleged that First Health Group violated notice provisions of Louisiana's Any Willing Provider Act related to the treatment of injured workers with worker's compensation claims.

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.
