Judgment Sought Against Mason City Law Firm
Headline News
A former Mason City Mayor is facing a lawsuit over a business deal.
A Michigan company that creates what they call "laser printed focused collection letters" is seeking a $105,000 judgment against Thomas Jolas and Associates.
Focus 1 of Dearborn claims the defense attorney did not pay for services they provided during 2009 and 2010.
Jolas said it is a dispute over a printing bill.
He said he hadn't seen the court filing, but confirmed he and Focus 1 had been negotiating back and forth.
"We’re resolving it," said Jolas, "they're just trying to get my attention.”
Jolas said he has been dealing with personal issues over the past year.

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.
