Guantanamo prison draws protests worldwide
Legal World
Protests against the US military prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay Cuba continued Thursday as the facility marked its fifth anniversary. In Cuba itself, peace activists, including former detainee Asif Iqbal, and Gold Star Families for Peace founder Cindy Sheehan marched from Guantanamo city to the location of the US camp to demonstrate against its existence. AP has more. Meanwhile new United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also called for the closure of the facility. Ban follows in the footsteps of his predecessor Kofi Annan, who had also called for the camp's shutdown. Ban will reiterate his call when meeting with President Bush next week.

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.
