Even though THIS IS ME, I still am amazed at how well Skinny Fiber works!
And it’s so easy!
I feel amazing! I am able to walk a little over a mile each day with the dog. My nails are stronger and thicker than they have been in years. My skin looks healthier (random people tell me I’m glowing). My fibromyalgia pain and fatigue are greatly reduced and I no longer have issues with IBS. I am able to cope with negative situations much easier. I have only gotten 4 or 5 migraines in the last 90 days; I used to get them nearly every day. My blood pressure is lower and I have a lot more patience. AND I’m happier and have more self-confidence! lol. go figure, right?

Unit 3- LS250- The Inner Office Memo

Memo

From: |

Re: |
Prenuptial Agreement |
|
|
|
I would like to take this opportunity to share a review of the policies regarding prenuptial agreements in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Careful consideration needs to be taken when reviewing a prenuptial agreement for a client. Following proper protocol and the following of state statutes is imperative to maintain the validity of this contract. Do not ever allow one of our clients to sign an agreement without first sitting them down and explaining every detail. Be sure they fully understand the ramifications of agreeing to the petitioning parties requests. Encourage them to do their own assessments of the value of assets they are negotiating.
The Universal Premarital Agreement Act was designed to help reduce litigation when challenging the validity of a Prenuptial Agreement. Pennsylvania has not adopted a version of the UPAA but it has adopted laws that recognize and validate the different agreements one will find within a Prenuptial Agreement
Pennsylvania: 23 Pa. Cons. Stat. Chapter 31 § 3106 (2007) is the statute followed when challenging the validity of a prenuptial agreement, the general rule held by the Commonwealth is “The burden of proof to set aside a premarital agreement shall be upon the party alleging the agreement to be unenforceable”. All contracts must be made following the laws governing Contracts, they must be clearly stated with no room for interpretation. All contracts must be fair, and signed without duress. Both parties are entitled but not required to seek individual council before signing the agreement. Take care to prevent loopholes or unfair demands, and even if one part of a contract is considered invalid, that remainder of the contract will still be enforced.
Be sure your client if fully aware of what assets they are being asked to relinquish the rights to prior to signing, once the client signs it is not likely a judge will rule in favor of the accusation the client was not aware at the time they had agreed to the contract. Refer to: In re-estate of Jacob A. Wilkinson, No. OC-10-0160, June 7, 2011. To summarize the case, the wife claims to have not been fully aware of the terms she was agreeing to when signing the premarital contract. Ignorance and Failure to read a Prenuptial Agreement was ruled to be Not Valid as an argument challenging the validity of a contract.
Full disclosure is extremely important, but the Commonwealth follows the rule of due care and expects the injured spouse to generate their own investigation into the value of assets (O’brien.C.M,pp.5,nd). Refer to: Porreco v. Porreco, 571 Pa. 61 (2002), where the wife disputed the agreement based on the fact that she relied on the husband’s assessment of the value of a ring. The court ruled against her claim stating she had the right to do her own appraisal.
Although it is not impossible, it is still extremely difficult to overturn a prenuptial agreement signed within the guidelines of the Commonwealth. Misrepresentation, Fraud, Duress are not easily proven, there are many cases that have set precedent to invalidate a request to overturn a prenuptial agreement. One clause that is extremely important to include is the Infidelity clause. Without this, not even a cheating spouse can be punished by invalidating a prenuptial agreement.
There have been cases within the common wealth where even duress was questioned and the request to have a contract made invalid was denied. Refer to: Hamilton v. Hamilton, 404 pa. Super. 533 (1991). An 18 year old pregnant woman was served with a Prenuptial Agreement the night before her wedding. The claim of duress was invalidated.
It is hard to make a decision of whether a prenuptial agreement should be compulsory. In one aspect it can help make the divorce process go more smoothly, in another it could cross lines regarding religious beliefs. A prenuptial agreement is seen by many institutions as a contract that anticipates the failure of a Union. This is why it is impossible to make a prenuptial agreement a mandatory part of the process to acquire a marriage license.
When entering into a second or third marriage, the need for a prenuptial agreement is greater than that of a couple who is entering into their first marriage. When one party has acquired extreme wealth, a prenuptial agreement will help to safeguard their premarital assets. It is also admission that the party who is seeking marriage is not seeking financial gain, but rather a bond based on love. Without proper representation, one party may in fact reliquish their deserved share of assets acquired during the marriage. This can be seen as a disadvantage, but only if the injured spouse does not take the proper measures to clearly understand the nature of the contract they are entering into.

Unit 4 – The Initial Interview- PA250
19 Saturday Oct 2013
Posted in Uncategorized
The Initial Interview
Melanie Marren
KaplanUniversity
PA 250
Before Conducting the Interview I would make the necessary arrangements to have a private, clear working space, preferably a conference room or an empty office where we can shut the door. I would be sure to have my necessary tools, legal pad, pen, preprinted release papers, and the most important being a box of tissues. When Mrs. Barnum walks through the front door I would greet her with a smile and an extended hand, welcome her to the office and offer her a drink. Take her coat and hang it for her, ask about her trip, and did she find the office easily, anything to make her feel at ease and begin building a relationship with her from the very beginning.
With the potential of an emotional break down during the questioning process I would get all personal information completed first and foremost:
– The Name of the client (including her maiden name)
– The Name of the spouse
– Both parties Social Security Numbers
– Both parties place of employment
– Both parties’ current addresses (if they are living separate)
– The clients work, home and cell phone number
– How long has the client lived in the state?
– Has either spouse served in the U.S. MILITARY?
– The date and the place of the marriage
– Both parties educational background
– Is either party receiving welfare assistance or social security?
– The date of the separation (if they are living separate)
– Was there a prenuptial agreement prior to marriage?
– Was there a divorce action filed previously at any time during the marriage?
– Are there any children? How many, ages, grades they are in.
We already know she is here to file for divorce, so now my questions would be in reference to her marriage and the reason she is seeking divorce. What troubles have arisen to prompt this action? I will not coach her, I will only ask open ended questions and allow her the opportunity to explain, or vent if necessary. If she gets off track with a rant I will kindly express my understanding of her hardship and redirect her back to the information we need to draw up the court order.
Now that I have a general understanding of the cause of the break down, let’s elaborate more on the situation.
– Your husband is being unfaithful, can you explain this further.
– Do you know with whom he is being unfaithful?
– Do you know how long this has been going on?
– Have you tried to talk to him about this?
– Have you asked him to stop? What was his response?
– Have you offered a suggestion to seek marriage counseling? What was his response?
At this point she is probably crying. I would come around from behind the desk, offer her a tissue, and tell her I understand how hard this must be for her. When she gathers herself together again I would proceed with more questions.
You say he spends less and less time at home with you and your children. Let’s talk more about this situation.
– How many times a week is he home with the family?
– How does his absence affect the children?
– Does he attend school events? Does he attend extra-circular activities?
– Are his absence and the unrest in your marriage effecting the child’s education?
– Are there noticeable changes in your child’s social life?
– Are they withdrawn
– Are they depressed
Has there been any abuse related to the situation?
– If so, has the abuse taken place in front of the children?
– Has the client needed to seek medical attention?
– Has the client obtained a restraining order or temporary custody as a result?
Once the questions are answered, keep in mind new questions will arise from the answers given, it is time to give them a financial worksheet to take home and feel out. Explaining to the client that they need to be as thorough as possible, obtaining information on all of the assets she and her husband have. I would ask the client to write a detailed description of how she viewed her marriage, from start to finish so the attorney would have a better understanding of where the dysfunction lies in the marriage. We need to make an appointment for you to meet with the lawyer, once your paperwork is filled out, is 2 weeks from now enough time for you? If not then allow the client to decide how much time she needs and set up the appointment before she leaves.
The client may ask questions I am unable to answer as she is preparing to leave. Such questions would involved the splitting of the marital assets, what I think her chances of winning full custody are, what the cost of the process will be, what are her chances of winning? I will be unable to answer any of these questions, even though I may have experience and know the answer; I must refrain from giving her an answer. The problem with me offering a response is it is not my place as a paralegal; it is a direct violation of Code 5.5.2 Unauthorized Practice of Law. Without taking the bar exam, I am unable to perform the duties of a lawyer, or offer any legal advice (Cornell Univ, nd). Even if I were to give her hope of winning, which is something the Lawyer is responsible for doing. I would need to remind her that I am only qualified to ask questions in the absence of a lawyer, and the best I can offer is a promise that we will do our best and represent her to the fullest extent of the law.

The Motivation Behind Terrorism
19 Saturday Oct 2013
Posted in Uncategorized
Terrorism is a discussion that fills our halls, whispers, google searches, and debates are full of different perspectives of who the real terrorists are. I do believe the Right and the Left have very similar views these days on the topic of Terrorism, although I feel our focus is in different areas, there is one common ingredient to all of our discussions – reduction of our involvement within the Middle East is imperative.
Terrorism, as a noun, has 3 definition: 1. The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. 2. The state of fear and submission produced by a terrorism or terrorization. 3. A terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
Seems to me that both sides of the spectrum are guilty, in fact, very few aggressive nations do not commit acts that are defined as terrorist. The pursuit of power is often progressed through a terroristic act, forced submission of the weaker civilization, the resistance of the citizens against the tyrannical offensive. No matter how you look at it, both sides are in fact terrorists.
Who stands to gain the most by a terroristic invasion of another country? Well, the stronger of the two adversaries that is who. The Islamic Extremists are in fact gaining foot hold on a more sophisticated fashion these days. Through the Muslim Brotherhood, they have acquired great influence over international governments and educational institutions. The extremists are evolving, and preparing a hostile take over, from within. What do they have to gain? World domination? Seems like our civilization has been reduced to game of Risk, who has control of the entire world at the end of the game is the winner. It is a fear every country has, but as our enemies use our own constitution and laws against us, we leave ourselves open to an internal terrorist attack. These are the issues of the future, seeds only being recently planted; we have a more prehistoric outlook on terrorism right now, and it is currently settled in the Middle East.
The pipe line war, there are facts our on air news reporters are neglecting to share with us. This fuel line is to go from the state of Quatar to Europe through Iran, Syria, Israel, and Turkey. The proposed route would benefit all of the countries within its projected path. Iran has its own plan, they have offered a pipe line that would run from Iran through Syria, then Lebanon, and out to sea bypassing both of its enemies (Israel and Turkey). The bypassing both Israel and Turkey is where the real issues arose; when Syria signed an agreement to allow Iran to build it’s pipe line, it angered the Russians, Turks, and the Israelis, thus beginning the war. Why is Russia angry you ask, well simply put, Russia stands to loose the most from the building a pipe line from the Middle East to Europe. Gazprom, a Russian owned Natural Fuel Supplier, provides Europe with more than 60% of its Natural Fuel.
Quatar and Turkey have joined forces in funding the Islamic Extremist group calling itself the Rebel Forces. This group is trained by Al Quada, unleashing them on Syria to satisfy their blood thirst with the main objective being to take down Assad. With a Regime change the original pipeline could begin construction and all the Nations could equally benefit from this project. Russia has joined in uniting with Assad for the simple fact that his resistance on this hostile take over has helped to stall both pipelines. He has been able to raise the prices of fuel costs in Europe, ensuring higher profits for Gazprom. The games being played within the United Nations are sheer politics, there is no expectation of actually reaching an agreement, and it is a simple stall tactic that benefits Russia financially. This is in fact a more diplomatic form of terrorism.
The Rebels are calling out to the Untied States for help, or that is what our media wants us to think. They no longer are receiving weapons from Russia, so they need the U.S to arm them in order for their mission to continue. Congress is reluctant to give the President the authority he needs to press on. They know there is absolutely no proof to determine it was Assad who used the Chemical Weapons at all. There is proof that Russian missiles were released in Syria, contaminated with Sarin Gas, but considering Russia was supporting the Rebels prior to the chemical attack, that leaves far too much room for speculation as to who used them, and why they were used. Now we can only speculate at this point that Vladmir Putin has negotiated with Assad stop to both fuel lines going through Syria, in exchange for His diplomatic support and alliance against the U.S. if Obama was to make good on his threats. Bottom line, ALL parties involved in this tragedy are the true terrorists. There are Men, Women, and Children being murdered and poisoned over Greed and Money, the pursuit of power, and the manipulation of Government. The only person who stands to win this war is the person who has the largest arsenal. It would do the U.S justice to leave this one alone, let them work this out however they feel they need to. We will benefit very little by exhausting our military resources helping either side.
We have plenty on our plate, our own economic crisis to deal with. The issues that have arisen from this war have little impact on the U.S as a whole. If we wish to help Quatar we could help to generate a new game plan. We could negotiate a new plan, offer a mapped out route that would benefit less hostile countries, yet still get the fuel safely to Europe. But our involvement in this crisis would in fact be terroristic in nature; forcing our beliefs on a society that wants to live life their own way would be wrong. And I doubt we will become involved, simply because the motivation of terrorism is to benefit in some way, we have nothing to benefit from so we have no reason to get involved.
