Comments Disabled

Tattoos are becoming more and more popular nowadays, and people are taking a fancy to them because it allows them to have permanent reminders of their loved ones, of obstacles they managed to overcome, or of things or ideas they are passionate about. Moreover, today you can see tattoos on types of people that would have never done something like this ten, or twenty years ago. You may be surprised to see grandmothers with tattoos of flowers or of their grandchildrens faces. Thus, it can be said that tattoos are becoming quite a family business and they no longer have to be associated with criminal types or with eccentrics and rebels.

Family tattoo quotes are one of the types of tattoos that you can see on all kinds of people; whether its something they said, or something an important personality said, people enjoy inking this sort of messages on their skin. Family tattoo quotes can be taken from books, the Bible, lyrics of songs and basically whatever inspires you or gives you strength. Perhaps this new-found popularity is also explained by the fact that tattoo parlors are becoming more and more professional, employing only the best and most talented artists. What they can accomplish is so impressive and stunning that it becomes easy to understand why even religious people or conservative individuals cant resist the temptation of embellishing their bodies with an ink masterpiece.

Some tattoo artists have even gained the popularity of celebrities because of their skill and craftsmanship, and there are people making reservations in advance just to have a tattoo designed by such an artist. Some of the more popular family tattoo quotes sound something like this: There is no place like home, a quote from the famous book The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and which represents the magic words the heroine, Dorothy, utters when she wishes to go back to her aunt and uncles farm.

Other family tattoo quotes may be like A family is a gift that lasts forever by Terry Burritt, but you can basically choose whatever quote you like best. What you need to do though, is make sure you choose a good tattoo parlor that only works with the best artists and the best materials, because removing a poorly drawn tattoo can be painful and expensive. If youre still not convinced, search the Internet for images of family tattoo quotes and see how other people did it. You can have your tattoo placed on your wrist, an arm, on the back, or wherever you feel comfortable having it.

The Process Of Family Court Restraining Orders

Comments Disabled

Copyright 2006 Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer

The first step to understanding the process of obtaining a family law domestic violence restraining order is to understand that this process is quite different from the process involved when protective orders are automatically put into place by the courts in criminal matters. In criminal matters, the police and the court are empowered to issue automatic temporary restraining orders. Evidentiary hearings are not conducted before these restraining orders are put into place. Consequently, in criminal courts the protected party does not need to be a part of the process.

In many instances, victims of domestic violence need to obtain a restraining order in family court, for example, where the criminal court restraining order is not adequate to deal with issues such as child support, spousal support, or custody and visitation. In other instances, a victim of domestic violence may need the protection of the family court where criminal charges were not filed or have been dismissed.

Unlike criminal matters, the protected party seeking a family law restraining order has to file his or her own papers, attend at least two hearings, and be able to conduct an evidentiary hearing. In addition, the Petitioner in a family court restraining order matter is responsible for ensuring that the Respondent has been served prior to the hearing.

At the hearing, Petitioners seeking a family law restraining order must be able to present a case, and convince the judge by a preponderance of the evidence that domestic violence was committed. Thus, a basic understanding of what constitutes domestic violence is essential. In some instances, the matter does not qualify as a domestic violence case, because the parties do not have the right type of relationship. Instead, the case may be filed as a Civil Harassment matter, which involves its own unique process and standard of proof.

The hearing for a permanent restraining order is essentially a mini trial. At the hearing, all of the rules of evidence apply, and both parties have the right to a meaningful opportunity to present evidence and cross examine witnesses. Preparing for a family court restraining order hearing should include, composing direct and cross examination questions, and when possible, gathering of physical and demonstrative evidence. In this high tech age that we live in, e-mail messages, voice messages, and surveillance video are frequently introduced into evidence to prove or disprove a case. Police reports are also allowed into evidence as an exception to the hearsay rule. Thus, litigants should attempt to obtain police reports, whenever possible, as they can be very persuasive to the judge. People within the legal profession recognize the serious consequences involved with the issuance of permanent restraining orders. Given that restraining orders typically impose significant limitations on a partys liberty, and can affect a partys ability to find or maintain employment, these matters are being taken more seriously by the courts in recent years. Courts have become more skeptical of the requests that are made for restraining orders and hold the moving party to his or her burden. Indeed, the days of family courts rubber stamping restraining orders appear to be coming to an end. Consequently, it is incumbent upon any person who is faced with having to be a part of this process to do his or her homework before entering the courtroom.

Strengths And Weaknesses Of A Family Business

Comments Disabled

Every company, and every type of company has there own set of strengths and weaknesses which differentiate them from their competition. Here are some of the differences between owning a family business, and a non-family business.

1) Nepostism
Family business owners often feel some sort of obligation to hire there relatives, instead of outside people looking for a job. The other people who are not related to them, often have better qualifications, and are clearly much better choices. The owner however may still chose to hire his or her relatives however, due to family pressure or sense of obligation.

2) Donations To Charity
Unlike public companies who feel pressure from share holders to make money, and not donate too much to charity, small business owners, specifically family business owners, can to a large extent do what they want with the money. Often they will donate it to there favorite charity, even though they may not be able to afford it, or it’s not in the companies best interests.

3) Less Profit Concerns
Small businesses often want to make their customers happy, or do what is morraly right. This in itself is a great thing, and it’s great that the companies want to do this, however sometimes the company will go over board, doing too much for too little profit. This can cause some serious problems and it may even cause the company to go out of business.

4) Loyalty
Employees in family businesses feel loyalty to their company. They are unlikely to leave, and if they do leave it is extremely rare for them to go to work for a competitor. In public companies on the other hand this is constantly happening. Even in high position jobs employees will leave and go work for a competitior, to get an increase in salary.

5) Huger Sacrifices
In family businesses the members of the family will work extra hard to make sure their company works out good. They will do every thing in there power to make the company as succesful as possible. They will work longer hours, without expecting additional pay. They will constantly think about how to improve the company, in order to make it better. They do this, either because they own part of it themeselves, or even if they don’t have any ownership in the company, they will do it to benefit there family.

6) Teamwork
Family business members don’t have to question there coworkers motives (most of the time) because they know that they are acting in the companies best interest. If a coworker asks someone to do something, they will usually do it without second guessing why they made that request.
