		<description><![CDATA[Lawyers and judges often repeat the truism that Alabama&#8217;s principle of dividing marital property in a divorce is that the division should be equitable but not necessarily equal. We get a refresher in today&#8217;s case of just how unequal property division can be in Alabama and still be sustained on appeal.


We don&#8217;t have a majority [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does it mean when the husband and wife in a divorce case agree that child support will be &#8220;in accordance with the child support guidelines&#8221; when the non-custodial parent&#8217;s income exceeds those guidelines? Is child support set at the maximum guideline amount? Is the court free to set child support in its discretion?

		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals renders an opinion that you think might make a good bar exam question. Today&#8217;s case would be a good foundation for a question on civil procedure.



The case is Cooper v. Cooper, Case No. 2080210 (Ala. Civ. App. April 24, 2009). Mom filed a Petition for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too often, the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals has seemed to have a schizophrenic relationship with the Ore Tenus rule, citing it with approval in some cases and shoving it aside in others, often without clear justification for the different treatment. Here, at least, is one case where the court cites it and endorses it.

		<description><![CDATA[The BBC is reporting this morning that there may be an increase in the rate of divorces, particularly the rate of high asset divorce cases, because of the current economic crisis. I don&#8217;t see it in my practice.



Let&#8217;s get some caveats on the table: First, the BBC story makes no attempt to report on events [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Alabama Court of Civil Appeals has modified its opinion in one of its recent cases on juvenile court jurisdiction. I&#8217;m not sure it makes much difference except to the parties involved, but let&#8217;s at least make sure we&#8217;re describing the change.

		<description><![CDATA[This is another of  those cases where DHR is trying to defend a juvenile court&#8217;s decision to terminate the parental rights of a child, and again the appeals court reverses. Are juvenile court judges just not getting it, or is the appeals court setting too high a standard?

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s well settled that Alabama law permits a court to order child support to continue past the age of majority when the child is disabled. Because it happens relatively rarely, however, most people who deal with it have an understanding of how it works that is hazy at best. We get some clarity in today&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This started out as a quiet expression of frustration about the Alabama Supreme Court&#8217;s opinion in a recent case, Ex parte Clark. It has become instead an exploration of the role narratives play in divorce.
