People are involved in variegating businesses from collection garbage to selling 100 karat diamonds. Some of them risky businesses in terms of what If person A pays for the something he is interested to buy but other party refuses to perform for any back hand circumstances. Of course this is not fair for the party who just paid up for his desired thing. This can happen other way around, if you asked this builder to construct your house but then you later refuse to pay him. Here we need a binding force which will be enforcing both these parties to perfume their duties as they had once promised to each other. To avoid situations like these, people tend to make contracts with other parties, so their transaction or business run smoothly sans any difficulty. Contract is legal binding which involves a promise or set of promises that each party will perform respectively. Person who makes promise is termed as “Promisor” and the one to whom promise is made is termed as “Promisee”. Since this is legal binding, if in any case other party refuses or fail to perform their promise. Promisee can sue the promisor, then court will enforce him as per the demand of the situation and Contract Law. Addendum to that promisee can also claim for recover of costs that incurred because of failure to perform the task, special damages—when a person feels the burnout and depression because of refusal or unfollowing of the promise, and suit. There are some stipulations of contract if they are not followed properly, then contract loses the power of enforceability. Contract becomes void. Essentials of contract are clear-cut. First of all, it requires the “Mutual Agreement”, that both parties are willing to make contract with each other. Then there is second essential of contract; “Offer and Acceptance”. Person A has to offer to do something or abstain from doing something. Person B—as an offeree—will accept it. Offerees can accept the via mail, text, call or personally by voice. Once the words are uttered or mail is sent from the house. Offer is accepted even though it has not yet the offeror. This is basics for making the agreement. Nonetheless the third essential is “Competent Party”. They should be able to perform their job. They must not be insane, minor (except for some cases), and must not have any kind of restrictions of making contracts from the court. Forth essential is “Lawful Consideration”. Consideration means something in return. It must be of lawful things if there is unlawful thing involved, contract will be void effectively and immediately. Ordinarily money is used in exchange of real estate properties, products, services, or any kind of protection. But money can be replaced by anything but legal to the law of country. Then the fifth essential is “Legal Relationship”. The contract must be of legal nature rather than of social nature. A father promising his son to buy him latest model of any mobile phone and then later on he turns his eye from his words does mean his son can sue him in the court. Social contracts are not the contracts that can be enforced by the Contract Law. Notwithstanding sixth essential about the contracts is that the contracts should be of “Written nature and must be Registered. This provides the convenience to parties to prove the court regarding to their verdict. But that doesn’t mean proved verbal contracts are invalid for the court. So contract should be written, signed, and attested by the witness and registered for court proceeding if needed in any kind of urgency or situation. Seventh essential of contract is the “Possibility of Performance” that is parties should consider their performance capabilities and must not promise to perform those tasks and put such events or condition of performance where certainty of performance does not seem sure. Person A will make person B house of his desired when lake city have rain of diamonds. This is not contract since event prescribed here lacks the surety of if it is going to happen or not. Simply impossible even make the contract void. And these kind of agreements can not be enforced by the law. However, the eighth essential of the contract describes the “Certainty” of the contract. Contract should be meaningful so that parties could comprehend it as it should be. Providing vague statements and unmeaningful elucidations—which can not be made certain makes the contract void as per the contract law. Thus the terms and conditions scribbled in the contract should be clear and meaningful. Person A agreeing on selling the one hundred tons of oil from the person B, is not the contract since it lacks the clarity that which kind of oil is being sold here. Ninth essential of contract is “Not expressly declared void”. Agreement should not be of those nature that are strictly declared as void by the act. Agreement in restraint of trade or the agreement by the wager are expressly declared void by the act. So if person A provides 10 million dollars to person B to close his business, this does not make this agreement as a contract since It is restraining the person from doing the trade. Last essential of the contract is “Free Consent”. Parties agreeing on the contract must agree on the terms and conditions of the contract with their will and consent. Contract made at the gunpoint are not the contract since here free will was not involved by the party that accepted the contract. If these all things are considered then both of these parties could rivet the sections of the contract law when needed. But since this is not the perpetuity kind of thing, it can be terminated so both of these parties could roam free away from this legal binding. Methods of Terminating ContractWhen contracts are made, in their terms and conditions certain ways are mentioned for the termination of contract. These stipulations determine in what conditions contract can be terminated and what will be the consequence if one goes for it. Sometimes penalty accompanies the termination of the contract, and sometimes anyone can not just terminate the contract. Special contracts are even overlooked by the court, thus even court orders the promisor to perform his or her part. Down below are the few methods through which contract can be terminated. Termination by DefaultWhen a vendor fails to provide the desired products to the promisee, then the contract is terminated effectively and immediately. This is generally used by the customers. This type of termination can be totally depended on the how it was worded. Sometimes contract gets terminated because of late delivery or it was not delivered at all. Apart from that it can terminated over the lesser quality of the product as per claimed during the contract. This termination just can not happen without customer showing up with the proof of that the promisor was not successful to perform. However if there is disagreement between the promisor and promisee then they can take their case to mediator. Termination by Mutual ConsentSometimes people also cancel their contract with mutual agreement so that future contingencies of triggering causes could be avoided. Sometimes product line manufacturing is closed. So all the contract liked with the these products are terminated with mutual consent since the company is unable to provide now. Same goes for the customer if he does not get the product which was part of the contract then he can terminate the contract as per their mutual consent. Termination by ConveniencePeople tend to terminate their contracts when they feel like they do not money or they just do not want the product now for their convenience. This can be done only it does not incur any costs to the promisor or vender. Sometimes there are some events that make the contract impossible to perform like natural disaster or war, even then contract can be terminated for the sake of convenience. As these are events beyond the parties’ control or force majeure. Apart from that if there is fixed time of performance mentioned in terms and condition, then contracts terminates when the times comes. Impossibility to PerformTypical contract always demands the certain performance as per the negotiation. As a Painter was asked to sketch this little girl a good sketch. He sketch the girl. This is called performance. But if there are certain events triggered that makes the promisor impossible to perform. Contract gets terminated by the “impossibility of perform”. Painter is not liable to pant the sketch if he gets blinded just after the couple of days he signed to sketch his beautiful neighbor. It is clearly impossible for him to sketch her without eyes. Sometimes this impossibility to perform is also termed as “frustration”. Termination by prior AgreementA person can terminate the contract as per stated conditions, agreed and stated in terms and conditions part, of the contract. This usual provision of contract is termed as “Break Clause”. It is necessary for to agreement to clearly state the situations where this provision can be used. Addendum to that it must be scribbled there that what kind of actions must be taken before going for the this provision. Ordinarily written notice and sometimes phone call is asked as to-do task before riveting the break clause. Thus, the contract gets terminated. Rescission of ContractWhen one of party in the contract provides the misrepresenting , made a mistake, acted illegally, or has been fraudulent from the inception of the contract, the contract gets terminated. Suppose person A is selling his farm house to person B. But upon inspection it was clear to person that the farm house was illegal property of twin brothers that are now dwelling the slumps. This person B has power to rescind the contract. This provision is also benefitted when a person of old age makes a contract with you Then you realized that old person incapable of making his or her own decision so this contract can rescinded. Breach of the ContractA person deliberately refuses to perform his part of the contract or the person does not honor the contract—its termed as breach of contract and thus contract gets terminated. This happens when one party did not completed his obligations at all or did not performed obligations fully. In some breach of contracts there might be the possibility of some costs may incur or had incurred. This is termed as material breach of contract. These costs can be recovered by the suit “recovery of damages” and suit for the quantum merit. This injured party has all the rights to claim the damages, even the psychological one too in case of special damages. Termination by CompletionAs mentioned above the contract comprises of obligations that must be performed by the both parties. Once these obligations are fulfilled by each party. The contract gets terminated over the completion of tasks which were under the binding force of the contract. After contractors are no more bound to the contract. To avoid further disputes, documents are necessary to keep. Apart from that, all the aspects of contract gets completed here. Thus contract terminates.

Before divorcing, some parents usually worry if divorce will affect or hurt their children. Research has shown that divorce may affect or may not affect children depending on the situation and the age.
Children from Divorced families suffer academicallyMost teachers can attest that students from divorced families have lower grades. They might have been performing previously but as marital problems came in to their families, they started performing poorly in school due to restlessness and psychological effects. Most of the times such children are usually thinking about their parents and are uncertain about what will happen in future which leads to less concentration in school work, therefore affecting their grades. Such children are usually associated with crimesKids from divorced homes are easily roused to anger. They usually have that feeling of insecurity and therefore tend to react negatively to anything. They may associate themselves with bad peer groups so as to gain that sense of security which they are lacking at home. This is the reason as to why they are usually found in many crimes. Children may live in povertyChildren with both parents tend to live a better lifestyle than children from divorced families. You can imagine how a family in which one partner is the bread winner would be if it breaks. First of all you might find that one of the partners is not learned, in most cases the woman. Youths from divorced families are more likely to be associated with drug abuseWith all the trauma from marital conflicts, children from such families may just decide to abuse drugs in order to forget what they have seen in their homes. Some do not know how to handle the shock of their parents not living together, considering the fact that they might have been left with the parent who they are less close with. Psychological distressDivorce may cause psychological distress to a child in that he or she is just not settled. The child usually has unpleasant feelings which make it impossible to carry on with normal activities. They may express psychological distress in different ways it does not have to be the same in every child. Emotional scars of divorce last into adulthoodI have seen children who have grown up with a lot of anger due to their parents divorce. Some swear that they will never marry if at all their children will go through what they have gone through. Feelings of guiltChildren may start asking themselves if they are the reason why their parents left each other or why their parents do not love each other. They may sometimes overthink and have regrets which may lead to depression and stress which may be having long term effects. This is a very big effect of divorce towards the children since they will have to live with the guilt. Children may grow to be antisocialAfter parents have separated, some children may lose interest in socializing with others. They therefore withdraw from peer groups and seem not be to be interested with social activities such as going for road trips and swimming with friends. They usually have few friends, do not talk much and prefer to stay on their own. Some really wonder why others have intact families and not them which is really not good. Increase in Health ProblemsThe process of divorce and its effects on children can be stressful. Dealing with these issues can cause physical problems. Children who have experienced divorce have higher chances of getting sick, which can stem from many factors, including their difficulty going to sleep. Also, signs of depression can appear, exacerbating these feelings of loss of well-being, and deteriorating health signs. Loss of faith in family unitChildren who have been raised in divorced families have higher chances of divorcing than those from intact families. They usually do not know how to handle most things since from the beginning, they have never stayed with both parents to know how to go about some issues which may lead to divorce. Such children need to go through proper counselling before getting married. Difficulty in adapting changeDivorce is not that easy. After parents agree to leave each other children have to leave with one of the parents. This means change of neighbourhood, school, friends and at times social class. Some children may have been used to being taken to school by their parents car but they will have to start using school buses since, after the divorce, one parent may have been left with the car. Trouble With RelationshipsChildren from divorced families usually have negative mindsets when starting any relationship. They usually have trust issues and do not know what harmony in love is. They find it hard to resolve conflicts since all they have seen is a failing marriage. The effect of divorce is far much than what is expected and also traumatizing. It is advised that whenever a couple has conflict, they are supposed to resolve it in their room far from where the children are. Children are not supposed to have any slight idea that parents are not in good terms. Encourage HonestyKids need to know that their opinions matter and that they can be listened to. Parents need to know how to handle their kid’s concerns, show them love and handle whatever issues they have. Parents should be wise enough to handle the fears of the children until they are comfortable. Keep yourself healthyEven though this is a very hard time for everyone in the family parents should strive to put themselves in a position in which they will be able to manage their stress. Financial constraints may come in as a result of the separation, which may lead to a lot of stress but one should ensure that they are physically and emotionally stable so as to be able to take care of the kids well. Get helpThis is not the time to go it alone. You should find a support group, talk to others who have gone through this, use online resources, or ask your doctor or religious leaders to refer you to other resources. Keep the details in checkEnsure you maintain privacy when discussing the matter with your lawyer, family members or friends. Keep the details as civil as possible especially if the cause of divorce may be something like infidelity. Be patientAfter talking to the kids nicely about the divorce, they may seem to understand and tell you they ‘get it’ but forget the next day and start telling you how they miss their old life or their father or mother.

Redwood Road, Suite C West Jordan, Utah 84088 United States Telephone: (801) 676-5506 via Michael Anderson https://www.ascentlawfirm.com/will-divorce-hurt-my-child/ If you have stumbled upon a violation by your employer and you want to report it, speak to an experienced Woods Cross Utah Corporate Lawyer. Whistleblower disclosures to nongovernmental agencies and the news media have been protected by the DOL under whistleblower laws that are virtually identical to the SOX. Often employee protected activities include a combination of speech-related activities, all directed at calling attention to allegations of misconduct and attempting to apply pressure on regulatory agencies to do their job. For example, in one case in which the DOL found protected activity, the employee had engaged in extensive activities to “publicly reveal information” about his misconduct allegations. In addition to contacting members of Congress, the employee had communicated with a public interest organization and reporters. He was quoted in “three prominent” newspapers. All these activities were protected. Under OSHA, courts have protected communications with the press because it was “clear” that an “employee’s communication with the media” could result in the initiation of regulatory proceedings. This holding has been regularly followed by the DOL. Numerous cases have also held that federal whistleblower laws fully protect employee disclosures to other nongovernmental bodies, such as trade unions, attorneys, and public interest organizations. The DOL has treated the following types of conduct as protected under the whistleblower laws it administers: threat to file a public interest-related lawsuit, contacting a union representative, contacting a newspaper reporter, threatening to contact the press, causing “negative publicity” in the press, and participating in a television report. However, merely discussing misconduct allegations with a member of the “general public,” without putting forth evidence that the employee is “about to file a complaint” or participate in a proceeding, is “too remote” to be considered protected activity. Mistaken BeliefUnder established case law, the DOL-administered whistleblower laws prohibit employers from discharging employees even if they only “suspect” that the employee engaged in protected conduct. The laws also protect employees who are not personally engaged in protected activity but are believed to be so engaged by their supervisors. The focus of the inquiry is on an employer’s perception that an employee engaged in protected activity and whether the employer was motivated by its belief that the employee had engaged in such conduct. Manner of EngagementIf the manner in which an employee engages in whistleblowing is completely outrageous or improper, the conduct may lose its status as protected activity. Outrageous activity by employees constitutes an independent justification for discipline. Courts have held that where otherwise-protected protest activities unjustifiably interfere with an employee’s job performance, discipline against such an employee may be proper. Employees may investigate or file complaints regarding matters that are “outside the course and scope” of their employment. But an employee does not have “carte blanche” authority to “choose the time, place and/or manner” of engaging in protected activity. An employee’s on-the-job disobedience in refusing to stop investigating potential wrongdoing on matters that fell outside of his job duties was not protected. Knowledge of Protected ActivityIn order to establish a prima facie case, an employee must not only demonstrate that he or she engaged in protected activity but must also demonstrate that the employer or respondent knew of this protected conduct. Simply put, there can be no discriminatory motivation without prior knowledge that an employee engaged in protected activity. Consequently, unless an employee can demonstrate that the “officials who made the challenged decision” knew of the employee’s protected activities, the case will be dismissed. An employer cannot insulate itself from liability by creating layers of bureaucratic ‘ignorance’ between a whistleblower’s direct line management and the final decision maker. “Constructive knowledge” of the protected activity can be attributed to the employer’s final decision maker. Likewise, employer knowledge of protected activity can be inferred from other circumstances, such as the size of the workplace. Also, a deciding official who is “suspicious” that an employee engaged in protected activity is “sufficient to show” an employer’s knowledge. The SOX broadly prohibits adverse action in retaliation for an employee’s engaging in protected activity. The statute includes numerous types of discriminatory conduct in its definition of adverse action, and is not limited to prohibitions against wrongful discharge. The law states that no employer may “discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against an employee in the terms and conditions of employment” based on the employee’s “lawful” protected activity. If you believe your employer is retaliating against you for being a whistleblower, consult with a Woods Cross, Utah Corporate Lawyer. The legislative history of the SOX demonstrates Congress’s intent to ensure that employees who prevail in corporate whistleblower cases are properly compensated. The heart of a SOX damage award is a mandatory “make whole” remedy. Under the SOX, the “make whole” remedy authorizes a court or the DOL to award all relief necessary to make an employee “whole.” This relief includes such things as reinstatement, back pay, interest, special damages, and attorney fees. Depending on the level of position held by an employee, and the type of adverse action at issue in a case, the amount of damages awarded can range from nonmonetary relief only (such as revoking a transfer or reassignment) to a multimillion-dollar award.

Redwood Road, Suite C West Jordan, Utah 84088 United States Telephone: (801) 676-5506 via Michael Anderson https://www.ascentlawfirm.com/corporate-lawyer-woods-cross-utah/ Many people are involved in businesses. But one day you come to know that expenses incurred and project invested cost is lesser than the total cash outflow. Receipts are no there but the transactions are written in ledger account. You will be discombobulated for a while and will think that where this all money went. You will see the historic data of your company that if this happening for the first time or you just came to know just now, this vanishing of money was happening for six months. Facepalming your face, you will be angry, disgusted, and may be sad because of some one from the work was involved in embezzlement, sucking the money of very company that gave him salary for his hard work so he or she could rivet his or her desired bread and circus. Notwithstanding even the most honest employees of the company are sometimes involved in this monkey business. Embezzlement is another one of the forms of white collar crimes, falling under the umbrella of theft crimes. The crimes involves a person or an entity who misappropriates the assets which was entrusted to him or her. In this fraud, these assets, either real estate or monetary assets, are obtained lawfully. But after that they misused for the personal gain or they are simply taken over. The person, who is involved in embezzlement, destroys the fiduciary relationship the entity, person, or government and himself or herself. The nature of the embezzlement can be variegating from the person to person, or entity to entity. It can be of small and large variegating from the clerk slipping some bucks from the cash register to his or her pocket to the executive officers of business entity who are swallowing millions of dollars, as an expense incurred, in their own personal accounts. The bigger the size of embezzlement, the more harsh will be the punishment of large fines and prison. One of the most famous embezzlement cases in history of U.S. was that of Bernie Madoff, who embezzled over $50 billion from investors through a Ponzi scheme. An embezzler might not be working alone, he or she mostly befriend other people to his or her line to work on embezzlement more effectively and efficiently like befriend the contractor or consultant who pays the invoices, receives the payment, have control over some assets. And they do not do their jobs properly. Even in embezzlement, there might be the cases where this theft fraud is accompanied by another fraud; such as Ponzi Scheme. In these kind of cases, embezzler asks the investors to invest for him or her on his or her behalf. But then rather than using that invested money as per these investors were told, money is used for the personal use or gain. Addendum to that embezzler may invite more investors to maintain the theft and furthermore clear the doubts of the aforesaid investors. But its not the only money that is embezzled, notwithstanding assets like real estate, company’s vehicle, smartphones, computers and other hardwares such as projectors and laptops are taken by them that belonged to company they were working. Embezzlement’s gamut is not only limited to corporations or private limited companies but this also happens in government institution where government funds and issued assets are ordinarily taken the officers w who had these all under control. Embezzlers might take small take small amount of large funds, so that they unnoticed. This is also phrased as “skimming off the top”. In order to prove some one’s that he was involved in embezzlement. He must prove given statements by the Criminal Code. The typical elements of the embezzlement are as follows: • There should be fiduciary relationship between the person who is accused of embezzlement and the one or entity that has charged other one of embezzlement. If these elements are proved in the court, person can be proved as an embezzler which will get the punishment according to nature of the funds or amount he or she has embezzled so far. This substantial control the employee — embezzler — can be proved by either from the employment records or contract they made up for further business or proceedings. But embezzlement not only get charged when the funds are under the control, but it is also charged when they transfer the funds to different party or separate bank. Addendum to that, embezzlement can be charged over the hinge of intent, if only and if it can be proved in the court that he was willing to use the funds for personal gain or use. In some states, there are special cases pre-defined already for which embezzlement charges can be applied if that situation occurs. Like taking any animal for the sake of the animal fights can be charged in Arizona. In Connecticut, if some one steals biological sample, microorganism, culture or any kind of scientific record, he is termed as an embezzler. In Hawaii, stealing aquatic animals from the private, fenced area is embezzlement. Stealing religious items or artifacts costing more than 100 dollars are embezzlement in New York. In Wisconsin, property stolen from the corpse is also termed as an embezzlement. And there are many more special cases in other states. Utah is one of the states where frauds are making their places in business entities sucking their life forces that are money and other assets. It has been reported that more than 35,000 counterfeit cheques were presented to the credit unions and banks every month. And about half them were belonging to the Utahns, who were victimized of the fraud. According to credit unions and banks, the average loss of Utahns, that fell victim to sweepstakes, inheritance, employment online, or dating or any kind of similar things, are $6,000. If these are multiplied by all the Utahns that are victimized somehow. The amount exceeds to the millions of loss. If this loss overlooked in terms of year, It reached billion dollars of amount that goes to the wrong pockets. “It’s a phenomenal problem,” says Karen Nelson of Wells Fargo Bank, a member of a task force alarmed and frustrated by the tide of frauds rolling over the state and the number of citizens falling for it. Lynda Worden of Ogden met this man on an Latter Day Saints (LDS) dating site on the Internet. “Seemingly he was supposed to be LDS and all that,” she said. The man said he was in the textile business and asked her to take over his business while he was in Spain on some kind of a buying trip, she claimed. He used to send a check for $43,000, and Worden initiated an account using some of her own money and began making checks and sending them out as the man directed. Soon, however, she found out he was part of a Nigerian fraud operation and it was her money, not his, going to non-existent customers. For Worden, the bottom line was $6,200 lost. “You sure learn things the hard way with the heart,” said Worden. There was this another case that happened lake town where woman was caught red handed with the fraud of embezzling $300,000 over the period of nine years. Fayette is a town of only 250 civilians in Sanpete County. But its town clerk — for which she was sent to the prison and repay the restitution — embezzled more than 300,000 dollars over the nine years — or 12 to 13 percent of total budget of town in that span of the time, a new state audit says. The clerk, Tracy Kay Mellor, was found guilty to three misfeasance counts of misusing public money, and in November was sentenced to 45 days in jail and ordered to repay $153,391 plus interest in restitution. Then there was this firm too which was struggling to get the profits from their business, but they were having the hard times. But soon they started getting profits once they fired their general manager McKean Strong. The firm was Sonic Plastics. As per federal prosecutors per se, Mr. McKean Strong was involved in the embezzlement of 01 million dollars from the company he used to work as general manager. He did that by making the fake company Grand Design which was supposed to deliver raw materials at discounted rate. But No one in the company ever saw those plastics resin being delivered by Grand Design people. Notwithstanding Mr. Strong was sentenced to prison pf six years and was ordered for the repayment of $911,394 to the Sonic Plastics and rest of money from 01 million to the internal revenue servicers. Before that he was living the lavish life with six bed room house and Mercedes. To tackle all these kind of problems and frauds, Utah announced online registration for the white collar crimes offender in 2015 and became the first state doing so in USA. This registry does not take the place of any sentence or court order of restitution that was imposed on the person that was involved in white collar crimes. This is to inform the other people about the people that might try to hurt them with their fraudulent tactics. The information stored there had been public record there so that any can use it. This white collar registry is monitored and maintained by State District Attorney of Utah. “This registry has been a goal of mine for years and will further equip citizens to protect themselves from financial fraud by making information much more accessible in this digital age. A simple search could curtail a fraudulent investment and save an entire nest egg.” – Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes. Like all the states, Utah state has set some punishment based on the amount or type of embezzlement of assets. As per Utah Code Ann. 76-6-412, embezzlement is punished as given below: • Money or property costing under $500 are termed as Class B demeanor. In this scenario – punishment may range up to $1000 or prison of 06 months or both.

Corporate Lawyer Bountiful Utah Missing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Payments via Michael Anderson https://www.ascentlawfirm.com/embezzlement-in-utah/ In life there are a lot of surprises. When people are making a lifetime decision to live together as one, I believe it means something to them. Well, not all times in life that you will make a decision and everything turns out as you would want. Some circumstances may lead you to making other decisions that you had never planned from the first place. Divorce is one of them. In most cases, people tend to believe that after divorce there is happiness. This could be true but at the same time truly opposite. From previous research, it appears not all people who take divorce are happy. There are some who develop more problems than they had when they were together. To many people who take divorce, there are assumptions that they have a very low level of happiness and psychological distress compared to married people. Reasons why people take divorceReasons for divorces are very many. Many couples are unaware of them coming. When the communication becomes a problem you should expeditiously take action before all fall from your hands. Very small arguments would lead to divorce faster than you think. let’s dive in and see some of the reasons that would lead to divorce: They say that when the conversation is becoming slow on your side, it becomes longer somewhere else. Making nasty comments to express your feeling should not be heard in marriage – it kills faster than a bullet. Get to know the neighbor down the street who has no family in the area and lend a hand. Make your voice heard. Use some of that emotional energy from your separation and divorce to sort and pack food at the community food bank. Find productive ways to get rid of toxic thoughts and feelings. The list of ways to be a positive contributor are endless, and we feel good when we’re done. So is there happiness after the divorce?The answer to this question is two way. It is not obvious as people think. Making a decision like a divorce will require you to be very sound since there is a lot you will need to sacrifice. People view it as a cure-all. They hope that divorce will end or reduce their problem. This depends solely on the nature of the relationship. Some people are happier after divorce while for others it is hell broke loose. Let me dissect this further.

Is a Divorce Settlement Taxable? via Michael Anderson https://www.ascentlawfirm.com/did-divorce-make-you-happier/ Speak to an experienced Bountiful Utah Corporate lawyer to know if your employer’s misconduct is reportable under the Sarbanes Oxley Act. The types of misconduct reportable under the SOX include any violations of rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), allegations of violations of criminal and civil laws protecting investors, and also includes allegations of fraud under any federal law that may harm shareholders. Under the statute, a wide variety of disclosures are protected. The securities laws largely prohibit any kind of fraudulent activities in connection with the offer, purchase, or sale of securities.” They require that investors receive truthful information about a company’s financial condition and other material aspects concerning a corporation. These laws also govern management activities of publicly traded companies; the requirements of audit committees; ethical and reporting duties related to accountants, auditors, corporate attorneys, and chief executive officers, the rights of shareholders; the voting and disclosure requirements at shareholder meetings; the use and counting of proxy votes; “the contents of materials filed with the SEC or with shareholders, and the requirement to disclose all important facts concerning the issues on which holders are asked to vote.” Additionally, various market activities are regulated or prohibited, such as insider trading, efforts to purchase over 5 percent of a company’s stock (e.g., a potential corporate takeover), prohibited conflicts of interest, the activities of certain investment advisors, and the enhanced criminal prohibitions and corporate responsibility requirements set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act itself. In addition to the criminal statutes referenced directly in the SOX definition of protected activity, employees who blow the whistle on any SEC rule or regulation or any potential violation of “any provision of federal law relating to fraud against shareholders,” are fully protected. Reportable violationsReportable violations under the SOX include the following: • Employee allegations regarding violations of the federal criminal fraud laws, such as sections 1341, 1343, 1344, and 1348 of Title 18. • Employee allegations of possible violations of the numerous federal civil laws related to fraud against shareholders, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Trust Indenture Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. • Employee allegations regarding any employer violation or noncompliance with the numerous and detailed requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC, including those rules published at Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations and the numerous laws administered by the SEC. Many of the laws, rules, and regulations incorporated into this provision of the SOX are published by the SEC on its Internet site. • All laws related to fraud against shareholders. This provision potentially encompasses all of the laws, rules, and regulations just referenced, and any other law, rule, or regulation that could be reasonably argued protect investors from fraud. This would clearly include those portions of the Securities Act of 1933 that permit shareholders to file civil actions concerning corporate deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraud in the sale of securities. The broad scope of this provision is reflected in the numerous class action lawsuits filed by investors related to fraud against shareholders or other violations of SEC rules and regulations. The SOX “participation clause” protects employees who “file, cause to be filed, testify, participate in, or otherwise assist in a proceeding filed or about to be filed (with any knowledge of the employer) relating to an alleged violation of section 1341, 1343, 1344, or 1348 “of Title 18”, any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any provision of Federal law relating to fraud against shareholders.”5 Case law interpreting “participation clause” provisions protect a wide range of conduct, including direct participation in SEC proceedings and other securities-related proceedings. Among the proceedings for which employees could participate are civil lawsuits filed by or on behalf of shareholders. Protect ActivitiesNot every disclosure to any person regarding SEC violations is protected activity. The statute sets forth four categories of persons or organizations upon which an employee is permitted to “blow the whistle.” These encompass the following: reports to government officials, internal reports, reports to Congress, and conduct that initiates a “proceeding” under the securities laws. On the face of the statute itself, and in light of the court precedents interpreting similar laws, the scope of protected activities is extremely broad. Contacts with the SECThe ability of an employee to communicate directly with federal law enforcement or regulatory authority is a critical component to employee whistleblowing and is explicitly protected under the SOX. Under the law, direct contact with government agencies, federal courts, and Congress is protected. The SOX statute explicitly protects employees who blow the whistle to a “federal regulatory or law enforcement agency.” This provision speaks for itself, and would cover employees who make protected disclosures to the SEC, a U.S. Attorney’s office, the U.S. Department of Justice, and other government agencies involved in any manner in regulating publicly traded companies, such as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Disclosures to any federal regulatory agency or law enforcement office, even those not directly tied to the securities industry, should also be fully protected, if the contents of the disclosure relate to fraud against shareholders or violations of the laws or rules referenced in the SOX. Although complaints regarding the potential violation of securities law and / or SEC rules and regulations can be filed with the SEC, whistleblower retaliation complaints must be filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. The Labor Department will forward a copy of the complaint to the SEC, but only the Labor Department has jurisdiction over the merits of a SOX whistleblower employment discrimination case. Contacts with CongressThe SOX explicitly protects employee contact with “any Member of Congress or any committee of Congress.” Even without explicit protection for these contacts, communications with Congress are fully protected under other whistleblower laws, as core protected activities. This statutory language is directly modeled on other whistleblower laws. FN 42 U.S.C. 5851(a). Aggressive AuditingIt is now well settled that “self-auditing work,” and the “compliance” concerns it generates, constitutes protected activity. Specifically, “employees whose assigned job is to discover and report instances of noncompliance so that the employer may correct them” engage in protected activity when they identify potential violations. This would include the “initial statement of the employee” that “points out a violation,” as well as the additional statements that employee may make if the concern is eventually reported to the government. Failure to follow chain of commandA necessary component of protecting internal whistleblowing is fully protecting employees who make disclosures outside of their chain of command. Once internal whistleblowing is protected, this rule is not only logical but necessary to protect the integrity of internal disclosures. Thus, regardless of a company’s policy, an employee’s ability to choose the internal component of a company to which he or she desires to make a whistleblower disclosure is extremely significant. On the one hand, an employee may feel comfortable discussing his or her concerns with a supervisor. However, the employee may want to remain confidential, and may raise a disclosure directly to the audit committee. Moreover, when an auditor conducts a review of a department or program, the employee would need to be protected when he or she provided the auditor truthful information regarding potential misconduct. Participating in enforcement proceedingsUnder the SOX, employees who “participate” in legal or administrative proceedings related to adjudicating a whistleblower case or an SEC enforcement proceeding are entitled to “exceptionally broad protection.” The SOX contains a sweeping “participation clause” provision, which protects employees who file charges, testify, or participate in any SEC proceedings or proceedings related to “any provision of Federal law relating to fraud against shareholders.” Given the broad protection courts and the Labor Department have afforded employees under such participation clauses, the scope of this section of the law is highly significant. For example, in similar “participation” clauses employees who file charges are protected even if management maintains that the allegations are purely “fabricated.” The “participation” clauses also protect witnesses who assist in antidiscrimination proceedings, even if these witnesses are “reluctant” or are compelled to testify “involuntarily.” Coverage under the “participation” clauses “does not turn on the substance of an employee’s testimony” and retaliatory actions are prohibited “regardless of how unreasonable” an employer finds the “testimony.” TapingWhistleblowers often engage in “one-party” taping of conversations in an attempt to document wrongdoing or retaliation. Under federal law, one-party taping motivated by a desire to “preserve evidence” or to “protect” oneself and to prevent “later distortions” of a conversation is legal.

Is a Divorce Settlement Taxable? via Michael Anderson https://www.ascentlawfirm.com/corporate-lawyer-bountiful-utah/ Each driver has the obligation to hold his vehicle under appropriate control and to drive in a way so he may abstain from crashing into different autos. More often than not the shortcoming of the mishap lies with the driver included. Be that as it may, there are conditions when others might be careless and at risk for the mischief caused. These gatherings incorporate, yet are not constrained to, the state or region which looks after streets, extensions and signs; automobile producers; and upkeep and fix shops. You’ve probably heard that most car accident cases settle well before any court trial. That’s very true. Many even settle before a lawsuit is even filed. But that isn’t always the case (no pun intended). If the parties can’t agree on a key issue or two — who was at fault for the car accident, the extent of the claimant’s injuries, and so on — then sometimes the only way to get things moving is to go to court and get the lawsuit process started. Initiating Your CaseFiling the Complaint. A civil court lawsuit starts when you — the “plaintiff” — file your initial document, usually called a “Complaint.” This archive spreads out each component of the body of evidence you are making against the other driver. You’ll completely distinguish the parties associated with the case, express the realities on which your charges are based, and after that spread out and bolster the component of every one of your cases. Each case is normally alluded to as a “reason for the activity.” For instance, in a run of the mill fender bender claim, the offended party may bring separate reasons for the activity for carelessness, agony and enduring, and careless punishment of passionate pain. Your Complaint will likewise ordinarily request a specific dollar sum as pay for harms (once in a while called a “Supplication for Relief”). Pretrial ProceduresWhen the underlying archives have been recorded in a claim over an auto collision, the case continues to the disclosure stage, where the different sides trade data in a forward and backward procedure that incorporates composed inquiries and answers (interrogatories), up close and personal addressing in which answers are given after swearing to tell the truth (depositions), and solicitations for reports (including the medical records that detail your car accident injuries) . Remember that casual settlement exchanges will likely go on while the court-based claim procedure is occurring, so your fender bender case could get settled whenever. Car Accident InjuriesSome car accident injuries may resolve within a matter of days without any medical treatment at all. More serious injuries might become permanent and result in some level of physical disability. There are two broad categories of injuries caused by car accidents: 1) Impact injuries, and (2) penetrating injuries. Impact injuries are typically caused when part of the person’s body hits some part of the interior of the car. Often this can be a knee hitting a dashboard or the head hitting the seat rest or the side window. Penetrating injuries are typically cuts and scrapes. Shattering glass or loose objects flying inside the car on impact often cause these types of injuries. InterrogatoriesInterrogatories are a list of questions (typically 30 or so) that can be sent to the opposing party in the lawsuit. Courts usually limit interrogatories to 30 or 45 at a time in order to avoid a party unnecessarily harassing the other side with hundreds of irrelevant questions. Interrogatories are available to each side. So, the Plaintiff can send a set of interrogatories to the Defendant, and vice versa. It is very important to understand that the party receiving the interrogatories answers the questions under oath, and usually must do so within 30 days or so. If the party answering the interrogatories knowingly gives false information, the party can be subject to civil and criminal penalties for perjury. Typical questions covered in interrogatories served by the Defendant upon the Plaintiff might include: • What type of injuries are you claiming? Automobile: Personal Injury ClaimOn the off chance that you have been harmed in an incident because of another gathering’s carelessness, you may make individual damage guarantee for pay. Individual damage case is a common law activity that looks for remuneration for harms endured or supported by an injured individual. Individual damage cases can be assorted, running from vehicle and cruiser mishaps, open obligation claims for slips and falls in an open space, to businesses’ risk claims for mishaps at work and modern sickness claims for introduction to unsafe items. Regularly, fruitful individual damage guarantee emerges because of proof of carelessness for the benefit of the other party. Calamitous wounds can imply that you are never again ready to work, need adjustments or debilitated offices in your home and your vehicle and potentially some dimension of consideration, physiotherapy or treatment for a mind-blowing remainder. This all should be determined precisely, including remittances for the adjustment in financing costs all through an amazing time. Instances of disastrous wounds incorporate those including removals, weakening cerebrum wounds or long haul consumes wounds. DepositionAnother method to obtain information relevant to a car accident case is through depositions. In a deposition, a party (usually through an attorney) is allowed to ask oral questions of another person who has information that is pertinent to something having to do with the car accident. Depositions may be taken of a variety or persons including Jury Selection in a Car Accident TrialIn many states, a jury (instead of a judge) chooses the key issues in a fender bender case. The jury is regularly included twelve people, however here and there that number can be lower. Automobile accident Insurance Law in UtahUtah is one of a few that has a no-fault insurance system for car collisions. When you get into a car accident, one of you will be to blame. In customary flaw expresses, no gathering would get any cash for either their property harm guarantee or their substantial damage guarantee until a shortcoming was resolved. The insurance agency of the to blame driver would pay every last bit of it. In No-shortcoming states, property harm remains an issue. Car collision unfortunate casualties can have their property harm guarantee dealt with by their very own protection supplier, yet their insurance agency will inevitably be repaid by the to blame gathering’s insurance agency. The distinction becomes possibly the most important factor for the real damage asserts in no-shortcoming states. The damages available for those claims fair exceeds property damage claims. When you have a bodily injury claim, you may be entitled to recover general damages such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life in addition to any wage loss damages. All those amount would be in addition to the total special damages—medical bills. In no fault states. Each party’s own insurance provider pays for the initial medical bills. The victim only has a claim against the at-fault party once a statutory threshold amount has been exceeded by medical bills. In the great state of Utah, that amount is $3,000. That means that if your medical bills do not exceed $3,000, you do not have a personal injury claim and you are precluded from filing suit. In turn, that means that if you are the victim of an auto accident in Utah, you carry the burden of having your own insurance pay for your medical bills until you exceed the PIP amount (Personal Injury Protection.) Once that amount has been exceeded by your own provider, then you have a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company. Once you settle your case or obtain a judgment, your own insurance provider is reimbursed for the $3,000 they spent on your behalf. This system shifts the burden of carrying proper insurance onto the injured party in the case of minor accidents. It also prevents very minor claims from being able to receive large awards, and more importantly, it keeps the court system from being overrun with frivolous claims. With the system that Utah has in place, if your damages are high enough that they meet threshold, you absolutely should consider finding yourself best auto mobile lawyer available. The logic behind that statement is that if you are the victim of an accident that was not your fault, and you have to waste your time receiving medical treatment worth over a value of $3,000, why should your insurance bear the initial cost and you personally bear all the rest? What kind of world would that be? A very unfair one. A world where there is no accountability and no one pays for their actions or helps their neighbor. Insurance is constantly offered to you as an extra when you are leasing a vehicle. Paying for this protection might be a smart thought. There are various approaches to ensure that you have the inclusion you need. Some people don’t understand that your very own accident-insurance strategy concerns you regardless of what vehicle you are talking about the time. This implies truly, your very own accident insurance policy applies to you when you are driving a rental vehicle. Along these lines, on the off chance that you are incredible inclusion all alone accident protection plan, implying that you have far-reaching inclusion on your vehicle and risk inclusion with satisfactory cutoff points for harm that you cause to other people, at that point there is actually no compelling reason to include the additional protection offered by the rental vehicle organization. The main genuine disadvantage to utilizing your very own collision protection is that you regularly have a deductible on property harm that you cause to your own vehicle, that deductible would, in any case, apply to the rental circumstance. All things considered, in the event that you have a decent arrangement all alone vehicle, your hazard would be properly decreased even in a rental circumstance. In this way, for most of the individuals, paying the additional expense to protect your rental vehicle may not be justified, despite all the trouble. Another route that you have to make sure your rental car is insured is to simply use your credit card to book the rental. Many credit cards have built in rental car insurance that is offered at no additional cost at all. Even if you do not get it for free with your card, you can likely get it through them at a cheaper rate than you could at the car rental company. However, one point to keep in mind is that you should always have a paper copy of the rental insurance policy you have so that there are no disputes later if an accident actually occurred.

Drafting LLC Operating Agreements via Michael Anderson https://www.ascentlawfirm.com/insurance-defense-in-utah/ All businesses in Morgan Utah are expected to preserve certain records and information. Failure to do so can prove costly. Speak to an experienced Morgan Utah Corporate Lawyer to know how your business can preserve its vital records. The tidal wave of mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers of the eighties has subsided and changed somewhat in nature. Merger activity is focusing more on cross-border deals than domestic acquisitions, and is motivated more by long-term, strategic considerations than short- term, financial considerations. Strategic alliances are picking up where today’s mergers and acquisitions leave off. Other changes affecting business today are a continuing effort to be lean and mean through downsizing or restructurings in order to adopt the capabilities of new technologies or respond to changing market conditions. Facility moves also are under way as companies continue to search for better business or real estate conditions. Managing change is complex and challenging, and a business needs responsive, supportive information systems. Business must be able to respond quickly to changing conditions and expectations among a wide range of constituents: customers, employees, government, stockholders, suppliers, and the general public. Good information systems help identify those changing conditions, and they support the necessary business response. The potential of a good record management support should not ignored. How well a records and information management program is designed will determine how well it supports the business throughout the change process from the point of conceptualization and decision-making through operations under the new business conditions. Records and information systems help ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and the fulfillment of obligations to individuals and other entities. This becomes especially important during times of change, which tend to breed more litigation and government investigation. A business may need timely access to records created prior to the change, records that document the change process, and records after the change in order to defend itself against charges or to file any necessary claims. Information SecurityWhenever joint ventures, strategic alliances, mergers, or acquisitions are considered, there will be the sharing of sensitive and valuable records and information between the parties involved. This information is disclosed to the potential buyers, who may be competitors, customers, employees, suppliers, or investors. Outside professional advisory services also may need access to extensive financial and proprietary information to assist buyers in their analysis of the proposal. These parties may be accounting firms, investment bankers, business brokers, acquisitions specialists, or business appraisers. An enterprise will want to protect itself and its secrets in order to prevent the takeover of a joint venture, unfair advantages to another party, or unauthorized disclosure of the information to others. Encoding of certain information may reduce the risk somewhat, but every individual or organization that will be in possession of sensitive or valuable records should sign a confidentiality agreement that provides for the protection of the company’s privacy and intellectual property. Publicly held companies also will want to take special care in guarding information about the proposed venture. Improper disclosure of information to outside parties, or improper use of that information, may result in charges of insider trading. Before you disclose any information to outside parties consult with an experienced Morgan Utah corporate lawyer. Business ValuationIf you are planning to sell your business, properly maintained records can help with better valuation. To determine a fair asking price for the business, or the portion(s) of the business to be sold, records will be required to identify assets, liabilities, and any other obligations, such as warranties or other agreements. Even the archives of a business may be treated as an asset in the negotiation of a sale, or as a tax write-off if a decision is made to donate the archives to a nonprofit organization. A potential buyer will want to evaluate the past track record, present outlook, and future potential of the target business. Records will be assembled, processed, and created for the critical financial and legal audits necessary in this evaluation process. Also appropriate may be an analysis of external information regarding current and future market conditions that may impact the business. A legal audit also will require the review of a number of company records. Documents of title and public records may need to be scrutinized to confirm that the assets for sale are free of encumbrances and restrictions on their use. Are there any pending or foreseeable claims, lawsuits, or government investigations? Are there any contingent liabilities, such as warranted products? What is the extent of compliance with various government requirements for safety, labor, environment, wages, taxes, retirement plans, and more? What are the rights and obligations stipulated in contracts, agreements, leases, permits, and licenses? Among the documents and information required for other legal considerations are: Government Requirements and Legal ConsiderationsIf your business is in the process of an acquisition or merger, consult an experienced Morgan Utah corporate lawyer. Throughout the analysis of a proposed acquisition or merger, government requirements or other legal considerations will compel the review, creation, or disclosure of certain records. The burden of compliance with antitrust, securities, taxation, environmental, consumer protection, and other legislation must be assessed. Issues of timing, financing, and other strategies must be considered. Contracts and AgreementsWhen one business takes over another business, it typically takes over its assets, customer base, data processing systems, product and environmental liabilities, tax exposures, and other hidden liabilities. A business sale contract typically specifies: Post Merger or AcquisitionThe newly formed organization will need immediate access to important company data from all acquired segments in order to support its assumed customer base, assets, legal liabilities, and other terms and conditions of the agreement. Timely integration of the various information systems into efficient, well-functioning systems is critical to the reconciliation of differences between the old and new organizations while simultaneously maintaining stability and effectiveness. Information from each company is required to identify and resolve transition issues, including: Disposition of RecordsThe parent company, former board of directors, general partners, or owners normally are personally responsible for the maintenance of a company’s records when an organization is totally dissolved. The records to be maintained are those that may be required by government regulations or court proceedings, and they must be maintained for the time period necessary to meet those obligations. These individuals may be sued or fined for any violations of legal record-keeping requirements.
