Milberg Weiss Investigates 401(k) Savings Plan
Class Action News
The law firm of Milberg Weiss LLP is investigating possible illegal conduct relating to The First American Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan. Specifically, Milberg Weiss is investigating whether certain fiduciaries of the plan may have violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") in at least two ways: (1) by allowing employee participants to invest in First American common stock when it was not prudent to do so, and (2) by failing to disclose First American’s problems.
The Milberg investigation relates to certain facts alleged in the lawsuit filed on November 1, 2007 by the Attorney General of the State of New York against First American Corporation (NYSE:FAF) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, eAppraiseIT. The suit alleges that First American Corporation violated federal and state laws by conspiring with Washington Mutual to inflate real estate appraisals. Disturbingly, evidence collected by the Attorney General, including internal emails, are alleged to show that eAppraiseIT executives knew that their scheme was illegal.
If you have an individual account with The First American Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and your account holds First American Corporation common stock, you may have legal claims under ERISA.
Milberg Weiss LLP has been representing individual and institutional investors for nearly 40 years and serves as lead counsel in federal and state courts throughout the United States.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
