Lawyer sentenced for LA courthouse drug smuggling
Criminal Law
A Beverly Hills defense attorney has been sentenced to three months in jail for smuggling heroin into a downtown Los Angeles courthouse.
Los Angeles County prosecutors say 48-year-old Michael Inman was sentenced Monday after pleading no contest to a single count of bringing drugs into a jail. Under a plea deal, three other charges were dropped. Inman also agreed to have the State Bar place him on inactive status.
Inman was arrested last June after sheriff's deputies discovered a baggie of heroin in a secure area at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center where only Inman was waiting.
Inman had entered a secure lock-up to visit two clients who were charged with burglary and receiving stolen property.

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.
