Wright Chat

The law that applies is the law of the state where the divorce is filed, so question #1 is where the divorce was filed/entered. It's hard to think back more than a hundred years, but divorce law had a few common characteristics in all the states. You needed specific legal grounds. There wasn't "...

why did they make his head so small?

What a sad story, but a great legacy. I took my daughter to see the house (exterior) while we were in Racine this summer. It is good to know that, as a committed steward to the property, the house has a healthy future. I am particularly touched by his invitation to schoolchildren. They don't know ab...
