5 foreign nationals held in Texas court break-in
Legal News Center
Investigators have found 90-day visas, maps, cell phones and computers inside a recreational vehicle that may have been rented by five foreign nationals arrested after a break-in at a county courthouse in San Antonio.
Sheriff's department spokesman Louis Antu (AN'-too) says local and federal authorities are investigating the early Wednesday burglary at the old Bexar (bayr) County Courthouse.
Antu says the men are all in their 20s and were unarmed when they were arrested about 1:30 a.m. Three of the men were caught inside while the other two were outside near the RV.
Antu says he has no information to indicate the break-in is related to terrorism. He says federal authorities are involved because the men aren't from the U.S. and authorities still are trying to confirm their nationalities.

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.
