Arnold Schwarzenneger and Maria Shriver are continuing with their divorce despite rumors that the couple has decided to stay together.

The rumors spiraled after the couple was shown in the car together while heading to lunch. Schwarzenneger told reporters that they are not reconciling, but do work together in order to raise their children.

Shriver, who had strong religious beliefs, was said to be very conflicted about filing for divorce, but did after she found out that Schwarzenegger had a child out-of-wedlock with the housekeeper.

Custody cases determined by tobacco use of parents

Posted on March 1st, 2012 No Comments

A non-smoking parent may have the upper hand in a child custody case these days. More and more courts across the country are starting to favor non-smoking parents when it comes to the placement of minor children in homes.

Tobacco use is now considered a large factor in child custody cases. Parents could lose visitation rights as well as custody if it is proven that they subject their children to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke. A judge in Georgia reversed a child custody arrangement after it was shown that the mother’s smoking habits caused her daughter to develop asthma.

Court orders are commonly handed out in order to protect the children from breathing in the contaminated air, and force parents to only smoke in areas where the children will not be present. Failure to comply to these orders can result in the loss of custody or visitation rights.

If you need help regarding a child custody case, please contact the San Jose child custody lawyers of the Law Offices of Daniel Jensen by calling 408-296-4100 today.

Possible divorce may have been cause for immigration officer shooting

Posted on February 22nd, 2012 No Comments

On Thursday, Federal immigration agent Ezequiel Garcia, 45, shot Deputy Special Agent in Charge Kevin Kozak six times at the Long Beach federal building.

Garcia was fatally shot by a third agent who was close to the scene. Kozak is in stable condition. Garcia’s wife said that they were considering divorce after 14 years of marriage, and that is a possible reason for the shooting.

The shooting was said to be a result of an argument between Garcia and Kozak regarding Garcia’s performance.

Special Agent in Charge Claude Arnold stated, ”Kozak is alive today because of the heroic action of another ICE supervisor.”

Bay Bridge westbound lanes closed this weekend

Posted on February 16th, 2012 No Comments

The westbound lanes of the Bay Bridge leading into San Francisco will be closed this weekend. This makes for a very tricky traffic situation, and drivers from the Bay Area should expect long delays and will have to find alternatives to their usual routes.

If you must go into the city, drivers are encouraged to use BART instead. According to Joe-the-KQED-Traffic-Voice, ”It’s always a gamble trying to guess what most everyone else is going to do and then do something else. Intuitively, it would seem the biggest jam could be on westbound 80 trying to get to southbound 880; second worst would be 680 to 580 to 238 to 880, which will put you on the same 880 jam to the San Mateo Bridge. Theoretically, 37 to 101 to the Golden Gate would avoid most of the direct impact from the Bay Bridge closure, but 37 is volatile, a lot of other people might use the Golden Gate Bridge, thinking the same thing, and you’d then face the usual jam through San Francisco.”

California same-sex marriage ban ruled unconstitutional

Posted on February 7th, 2012 No Comments

San Francisco’s Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that California’s ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, is unconstitutional.

The court decision was made by a 2-1 vote, and the panel explained that the gay marriage ban “used the state’s initiative power to target a minority group and take away a right the group possessed, without legitimate reason.”

An 89-page majority decision was written, and Judge Stephen Reinhardt said, ”Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.” Justice Reinhardt was appointed by former President Jimmy Carter.

Surge in domestic violence related homicides in Silicon Valley

Posted on January 19th, 2012 No Comments

In 2011, there was a surge in domestic violence-related killings in the Silicon Valley.

There was a total of 56 homicides this year in Santa Clara County, and 10 of those deaths were caused by domestic violence. The people involved in these crimes are not from one specific socio-economic background. One incident involved a multimillionaire from Los Gatos, and another a San Jose motorcycle police officer. The majority of men who committed the crimes were 50 and older.

Santa Clara County prosecutor, Steven Dick, states, “Whether it’s dating or a marriage, we have to make sure that we’re doing whatever we can to protect people.”

If you have been a victim of domestic violence, contact San Jose domestic violence attorneys at the Law Offices of Daniel Jensen by calling 408-296-4100.

She later purchased a house in Brentwood, California and returned to her journalism career.
