Move over January, March is taking over as the month when divorce filings peak.
January has typically been the month when most people research and file for divorce, according to FindLaw.com. And while
that month still sees an increase in filings as compared to the rest of the year, it turns out that March may be considered
by divorce attorneys the new “divorce month.”
FindLaw.com – a consumer-focused legal information website – researched divorce filings in the U.S. between 2008
and 2011 with Westlaw and found that divorces spike in January and continue to rise until they peak in late March. The website
also found that online searches for “divorce,” “family law,” and “child custody” jumped
50 percent from December 2010 to January 2011, and the number continued to go up through March.
January has always been a popular time to research and file for divorce because it’s just after the holidays. People
may have tried to either save their marriages during that time or decided to wait it out to avoid additional stress, according
to researchers. Income tax filings may also play a factor.
Indiana divorce attorneys, do you agree with these findings? Is the first quarter of the year your busiest time?

The court of appeals not only tries to rewrite or interpret the law to suit their fancy, now they choose play stupid as well. Every consideration must be given to pro se litigants, who are not held to the same standards as attorneys, as stated by,SCOTUS. I assume they didn't have a lawyer, since one wasn't mentioned and I strongly suggest thatb the rest of the, origional petitioners get back in there and fight for their rights.

the irony of situations like this is that the clients whom conour cheated are the ones who should be pulling hardest for him to remain free and keep his law license, so they have some hopes of him paying back. really bury the guy deep and then there will be little hope of restitution

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.

Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.
