When people in Louisiana get a divorce, if they have a home to divide as part of the process of property division, they should avoid some common mistakes. One error people often make is fighting to keep the home without taking into account whether they can afford it.

One woman who did this finally agreed to sell the home and split the proceeds after months of negotiations when she realized that keeping it would not fit in her budget. However, according to one attorney, it is less likely for couples to reach an agreement to sell the home right away on their own and more likely for them to do so on a judge’s order.

Louisiana laws regarding drunk driving are strict, and even first-time offenders can face long-term penalties. If you are facing a drunk driving charge, it’s important to defend yourself. The first step in building a strong defense is to identify the right strategy for your situation.

The right defense strategy depends on factors that are unique to your situation. Things like any previous offenses or the circumstances of your arrest. When it is your freedom on the line, it is worth it to work on a strong defense plan.
