LEGAL TIPS

Birmingham DUI Laws :
Originally, the law said convictions had to take place within a five-year period. Later, this five-year criteria was amended out in some places but remained in others.


Legal Term "DIVORCE" Print E-mail

Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse, which can be contrasted with an annulment, which is a declaration that a marriage is void, though the effects of marriage may be recognized in such unions, such as spousal support, child custody, and distribution of property.


In many developed countries, divorce rates have increased markedly during the 20th century. Among the states in which divorce has become commonplace are the United States, South Korea, and members of the European Union, with the exception of Malta (where all civil marriages are for life because civil divorce is banned, which is also the case in the Philippines). In the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and some other developed Commonwealth countries, this boom in divorce developed in the last half of the 20eth century. Japan retains a markedly lower divorce rate, though it has increased in recent years. In addition, acceptance of the single-parent family has resulted in many women deciding to have children outside marriage as there is little remaining social stigma attached to unwed mothers in some societies. The subject of divorce as a social phenomenon is an important research topic in sociology.
 
DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
United States DUI Stats :
All 50 states now have two statutory offenses[1]. The first is the traditional offense, variously called driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), driving while intoxicated/impaired (DWI) or operating while intoxicated/impaired (OWI). The second and more recent is the so-called illegal per se offense of driving with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% (previously 0.10%) or higher. The first offense requires proof of intoxication, although evidence of BAC is admissible as rebuttably presumptive evidence of that intoxication; the second requires only proof of BAC at the time of being in physical control of a motor vehicle. An accused may be convicted of both offenses, but may only be punished for one.

.08 Standard DUI :
The .08 standard, while it looks good because it snares more people, did snarl up the regional jail system. And it didn't necessarily take the most dangerous chronic drunk drivers off the road or cut the death toll.

Alabama DUI Statistics :
In 2006, more people died on Alabama roads than during any other year in over three decades. Not all of those fatalities were caused by drunk drivers, but the state must get the worst drivers off the road first and then go after others whose presence constitutes a threat to public safety.
