Accused gunman in hospital standoff due in court

Criminal Law

A former Army soldier accused of taking workers hostage at a Georgia military hospital is scheduled to make his first appearance in federal court in Savannah.

Federal prosecutors charged Robert Anthony Quinones on Tuesday with assault and kidnapping in connection with the Labor Day hostage standoff at Fort Stewart. The 29-year-old suspect surrendered and no one was injured.

Quinones' initial court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

Quinones is also charged with threatening to kill President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton. Court documents say he told investigators of his assassination plans after his arrest Monday.

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.
