Hiring An Attorney For Dog Attack Injuries

Hey there, I am Erin Arnolds. I was simply walking down the street a year ago, minding my own business, when a dog burst out from behind a house and attacked me. I was helpless to protect myself from the ferocious bites and scratches from that angry animal. Neighbors finally came out and pulled the dog off me, which ended up saving my life. At the hospital, I received hundreds of stitches and stayed in a medically induced coma for several weeks. Upon coming out of the coma, I immediately called a lawyer to receive help suing the dog owners for the attack. I needed to have my hospital bills and lost wages covered by the owners of that vicious dog. Due to that experience, I created this site to help others learn how to hire a lawyer and obtain compensation for injuries caused by a dog attack.

3 BIG Financial Changes You Need To Make Before Filing For Divorce

6 September 2016
 Categories: , Blog

While in some cases divorce is a thing that happens suddenly, in most cases this is one drastic life change that you can foresee coming several months before the legal process ever begins. If you are pretty certain that your marriage is heading for a divorce, it is definitely time to start thinking differently, especially when it comes to finances. If you have not fully separated your financial life from your current spouse's by the time you file, things can get really sticky when the two of you part ways. Here are a few major financial changes you need to make before filing for a divorce. 

Take back possession of any credit cards you have in your name

When two people are united in marriage, it is not at all uncommon for the wife to use the husband's credit cards or vice versa. However, if there is a divorce on the horizon, you do not want to leave a credit card in the hands of your soon to be ex. If your spouse wants a way to get back at you, charging up a huge amount of credit card debt in your name may be just the perfect way for them to do it. Go ahead and get your cards back, and if they will not give them to you, call the company and request the card be cancelled and have a new card shipped to a safe address if the two of you still live at the same residence. 

Separate joint accounts at the bank or with creditors

If at all possible, make sure every account you opened together as a couple either gets closed or reverted back to solely one of you or the other. Holding joint accounts when you file for a divorce will just be another step in the asset and debt division process that can slow down the process. The more you can get these types of joint accounts separated and closed before you file, the faster the process will go. 

Avoid making new major purchases

Pretty much anything you purchase before you are legally divorced can be considered joint property and may have to be divided or sold because it was obtained while the two of you were still married. So if you are eyeballing a new car, home, or even furniture and you know a divorce is bound to happen it is usually best to hold off on these major purchases until after the divorce is final.
