McGraw Hill's Bahash Faces Purported Suit

[##_1L|1345126465.jpg|width="101" height="102" alt=""|_##]O'Rourke Katten & Moody said it filed a lawsuit against McGraw-Hill Cos.'s chief financial officer Robert J. Bahash on behalf of shareholders who bought the company's common stock between July 25, 2006 and Aug. 15. The law firm alleged that Bahash violated federal securities laws and that his misleading statements or omissions concerning the company's business and operations, particularly that its Standard & Poor's unit assigned "excessively high" ratings to bonds backed by subprime mortgages, artificially inflated its stock.

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.
