Criminal Law
[##_1L|1250316023.jpg|width="142" height="117" alt=""|_##]A man accused of killing his family will plead guilty to the abduction and murder of a ten-year-old girl, his attorney said. Simon Rios, 35, will plead guilty in Delaware County in the death of Alejandra Gutierrez to avoid the death penalty, attorney Michelle Kraus said Monday. Prosecutors will agree to sentence Rios to life in prison, she said. Rios' trial was scheduled to begin April 23. He is charged in the murder and rape of Gutierrez, who lived in Rios' neighborhood and went missing Dec. 8, 2005. Her body was found in a wooded area near Muncie.
Rios also is accused of killing his 28-year-old wife, Ana Casas, and the couple's three daughters on Dec. 13, 2005, after he and Casas argued over his household duties. His trial is scheduled for October, and prosecutors in that case are seeking the death penalty.

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.
