LEGAL TIPS

Alabama DUI Priority :
Under the Alabama drunk-driving law, it seems the first three convictions are treated as misdemeanors, for which the guilty can go to jail for up to a year. However, a fourth conviction is a felony, which can draw a sentence of up to 10 years in jail.


Legal Term "DIVISION OF PROPERTY" Print E-mail

Division of property, also known as equitable distribution of parties, is a judicial division of property rights and obligations between spouses during divorce. It may be done by agreement, through a property settlement, or by judicial decree.

In England and Wales, the recent case of Miller v. Miller gave the wife a considerable proportion of the husband's recent gains resulting from dealings in the city (short marriage). Pagliowska v.Pagliowski refers to runaway costs.

 
DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
Alabama DUI Law :
Unfortunately, a quirk in Alabama law - apparently unintended - now means that some drunk drivers serving time in prison on felony convictions could have those convictions reduced to misdemeanors and be released on time served.

Drunk Driving :
Drunk driving is the act of operating and/or driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. It is illegal in all jurisdictions within the U.S. The specific criminal offense is usually called driving under the influence [of alcohol and/or other drugs] (DUI), and in some states driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating while impaired (OWI), or operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI). Such laws may also apply to boating or piloting aircraft.

DUI Jurisdictions :
Many jurisdictions require more serious penalties (such as jail time, larger fines, longer DUI program, the installation of ignition interlock devices) in cases where the driver's BAC is over 0.20, or 0.15 in some places. These additional sanctions are an attempt to deter and punish the operation of a vehicle at extremely high BAC levels and the concomitant danger posed to the safety of persons and property by heavily impaired drivers. In many cases, the reason given for these additional sanctions is because an average person would have passed out from that much alcohol.
