Federal Judge Upholds Louisiana Same Sex Marriage Ban

US District Judge Martin Feldman has upheld Louisiana’s same-sex marriage ban as well as a law refusing to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. This broke a string of 20 plus wins for same-sex supporters in federal court cases.

Federal Judge Rules in Favor of “Sister Wives” Family

Last Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups ruled in favor of Kody Brown and his family stating that they were entitled to attorney’s fees and costs incurred in defending against threatened charges.

This victory comes on the heals of a December ruling by Judge Waddoups finding that Utah’s polygamy law was unconstitutional as it violated the freedom of religion clause. Utah has not decided whether to appeal this matter.

Attorney Fees

Attorney Fees in Domestic Matters

 Attorney fees are awarded in domestic matters in two scenarios, first, to establish a court order, and second, to enforce a court order.

Attorney Fees When You Cannot Afford To Establish A Court Order

If a party is unable to afford the costs of obtaining an order of custody, parent-time, child support, alimony, or division of property in a domestic case, the court may order a party to pay the costs and attorneys fees of the other party to enable the other party to prosecute or defend the action, but the award or denial of such fess must be based on evidence of the financial need of the receiving spouse, the ability of the other spouse to pay, and the reasonableness of the requested fees.    The court may further order a party to provide money for the separate support and maintenance of the other party and of any children in the custody of the other party.  See, Utah Code Ann. § 30-3-3(3 )

Stay Sought in Ruling on VA. Gay-Marriage Ban

Yesterday, Virginia  sought to delay a federal appeals court ruling on Virginia’s gay-marriage ban. Attorney for court clerk Michelle B. McQuigg argued that the delay would “ensure the orderly resolution of the important constitutional question…” Though the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia and Lambda Legal disapproved of the delay, in 2006 it was ruled by 2-1 of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Virgina’s same-sex marriage ban approved by voters is unconstitutional.

What are the grounds for divorce in Utah?

Couples divorcing in Utah have two basic choices: They can file no-fault divorce, which the law permits either or both parties to file by citing grounds of irreconcilable differences within the marriage, or by living under a separation agreement from any state for three consecutive years. They can file on fault-based grounds, which cites specific…

Wade Taylor did a custody agreement for me. He was such a nice guy to work with and addressed all of my concerns. The custody agreement went smoothly I am so happy that I did it! It has made things between my sons dad and I so much easier especially for the holidays.

Consulting an attorney for my divorce was something that I didn't expect to need but it ended up making all the difference. Wade Taylor used his knowledge of the legal system to help me navigate each hurdle my now-ex-wife placed in the way. Mine was not a straight forward case but Wade was there to ensure that nothing was overlooked. Wade focuses on protecting his clients and working towards resolution even in situations where that may not seem possible. If you think for a moment that asking an attorney for help with your divorce may be beneficial, call Wade Taylor and get that help.

Wade Taylor is such a brilliant Divorce attorney! I was referred to Wade by a friend after my Divorce was finalized because so many things did not seem right. He went through everything and told me exactly what should of happened. He made total and complete sense, and I received more substantial information in my 30 minute consult from Wade, then in my year and a half working with my Divorce Attorney! I wish I would have know about him in the first place. My divorce would have ended so much better!! Wade also helped me tie up some loose ends with my divorce. I will go to him for anything else I might need help with.

Nick was fantastic, my only regret was that I didn't contact him sooner. He is extremely efficient, very thorough and made the whole divorce legal process as painless as it could be. His retainer/fees were also very reasonable (I shopped around). Could not have asked for better representation.
