Class Action News
[##_1L|1370222128.jpg|width="130" height="130" alt=""|_##]UBS is facing a class action lawsuit, which alleges the financial services company misled investors by issuing materially false and misleading statements about the company's financial condition just two months before it was revealed UBS was planning to write down $10 billion in subprime-related losses. The lawsuit filed by the firm of Coughlin, Stoia, Geller, Rudman & Robbins LLP alleges in a United States District Court that UBS's actions negatively impacted common stockholders who purchased stock between the dates of March 13, 2007 through December 11, 2007.
In a press statement, the firm says, "UBS issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2007. In the days following this announcement, the price of UBS stock declined to as low as $49.27 per share. Then, on December 10, 2007, UBS announced writedowns of around $10 billion as a result of its subprime mortgage related positions. Following this announcement, the price of UBS stock declined to $48.78 per share, a 26% decline from the Class Period high."

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.
