Criminal Law
Authorities in North Carolina say a Marine charged in the death of his wife, an Army nurse, will appear in court along with a fellow serviceman. The hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday in Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg.
Marine Cpl. John Wimunc was charged Monday with murder — as well as first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit arson — in the death of 2nd Lt. Holley Wimunc of Iowa.
Her body was found Sunday, three days after a suspicious fire at her Fayetteville apartment.
Authorities also charged Lance Cpl. Kyle Alden with first-degree arson, conspiracy to commit arson and accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Both Marines were assigned to Camp Lejeune.

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.
