Fixedpricedivorceservice.co.uk re-launches website with up to date videos and other materials

Fixed Price Divorce Service is a firm managed by a group of family lawyers, accredited mediators and specialist divorce case handlers who assure couples of fast, fixed price and stress free divorce. They have now announced the re-launch of their company website with several new features such as up to date videos and other self-help materials.

"The new website explains clearly about how we differ from other family lawyers and divorce case specialists," says a spokesperson for the company. Divorce cases are undoubtedly complicated, but issues are often compounded by family lawyers because as the billable hours increase, so does their fees. This is especially true when couples do not agree on sharing of assets, child custody rights or alimony. The resultant delay causes financial ruin and often puts further strain on the relationship.   In fact, an estimation of the expenses involved in a divorce force many couples to drag their feet on the relationship making it difficult for children who're often the soft targets of a psychological war between couples.

But lawyers at Fixed Price Divorce Service promise to affect a divorce within six to eight weeks. The fee for the process is fixed and can be paid in three instalments. Thus, couples do not have the additional burden of having to guess about the cost of fees. "The fee that we quote is inclusive of everything including filling application forms, court costs etc. And this is the total fee, not per person," adds the spokesperson. Thus, rather than having to pay for two lawyers, couples are in effect paying only for one.

The solution is however for couples who'd like to get an amicable solution and agree on most (if not all) issues such as child custody, alimony and separation of assets. It is also ideal for those who would like to get out of the relationship as fast as they can with minimal emotional and financial damage. It also helps if they are on talking terms and do not have to do so through their respective attorneys.

About Fixed Price Divorce Service:

Fixed Price Divorce Service is a team of family lawyers and accredited mediators. They have more than 40 offices in England and Wales. They specialize in helping couple's divorce at a fixed cost, fast and stress free.

Fairfax Bankruptcy Attorney Speaks Out Against Chapter 7 Stigma

Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy has been instilled in the minds of US citizens as a permanent black mark on their credit and financial future. Fairfax bankruptcy attorney Beeraj Patel has begun speaking out against this taboo belief, assuring to those in financial trouble that to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy is not a terminal financial condition. Contrary to popular belief, filing Chapter 7 can be a very positive financial instrument. It can be the first step to improving the living situation of US citizens with overwhelming debt who need a breathing room to become financially stable again.

Beeraj Patel, a bankruptcy attorney in Fairfax VA, states that when bankruptcy law is practiced correctly can ensure that consumer livelihoods are protected. Many individuals who have considerable assets shy away from Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they believe that it will critically affect their financial futures. This is far from the truth. When practiced correctly, bankruptcy law can halt foreclosures and life burdensome financial debt. During his career as a Fairfax bankruptcy attorney, Mr. Patel has helped potential candidates see the light when declaring bankruptcy due to some personal practice secrets.

For example, the "Homestead Exemption" protects any assets up to a value of $5,000.00 dollars U.S. Similarly, there is an exemption which protects automobiles for up to $5,000.00 U.S. However, Mr. Patel's ingenuity has resulted in him combining the two exemptions, providing protection for those who have auto value more than $5,000.00 by utilizing left over money from the homestay exemption. This allows Chapter 7 consumers to keep their prized possession in a legal and fair way which is a comfort to all those involved.

Attorney-at-law Beeraj Patel is tired of out of date beliefs about Chapter 7 bankruptcy ruling over the minds of potential candidates. The truth is that many of these individuals could be experiencing a positive outcome from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case simply by filing with a talented attorney such as Mr. Patel. He declares that Chapter 7 bankruptcy should be seen as a financial instrument not a "cop out" but rather a reasonable option for reasonable people suffering from unreasonable debt.

Patel Law Firm LLC is an immigration law firm located at 3900 University Drive, Suite #100, Fairfax, VA, 22030 and is owned by immigration rights advocate, Beeraj Patel, Esq.

Fairfax Immigration Attorney Defends Small IT Contractors' Rights Affected by Immigration Reform

Fairfax immigration attorney and immigration rights advocate, Beeraj Patel, Esq. has taken an early and firm stance against provisions of the 2013 immigration reform currently in debate in the US Senate. Mr. Patel is amongst the initial few immigration attorneys to publicly address the negative impacts of limiting the amount of H-1B visas given to foreign workers for specialty positions; in a public posting, Mr. Patel stated that the proposed senate immigration reform restrictions would limit the hiring of many H1-B visa individuals with technical backgrounds in IT, which would not effect large IT contracting firms, but would instead negatively impact the small to medium size IT contracting firm.

The IT contracting world in the United States has experienced a consistent growing demand to fill various technical positions - making the hiring of foreign workers with H-1B visas an essential and common practice. The new immigration reform proposes unreasonable fines for hiring H-1B workers. Small to medium sized IT contracting firms would have significant difficulty satisfying this requirement. Without the ability to contract skilled individuals, small to medium sized IT contracting firms which make up a significant portion of U.S. IT world will be at a severe disadvantage.

As an advocate for small IT business owners, Mr. Patel has been actively voicing opposition to provisions of immigration reform by outlining their consequences to as many individuals as he can reach via his active communication in the local and online community. Currently, Mr. Patel is one of the few advocates for smaller IT contracting firms and is helping pioneer the charge of immigration policy in favor of small business and hopes more will join him on this issue which is on the cusp of debate in the senate's ongoing discussion of immigration reform.

Details of the offer as follows:

Defensive Driving Classes: This course is available at Nathan School's Atlanta and Roswell office. Coupons are given to candidates who successfully complete the defense driving course. Classes are offered during evening on weekdays as well as weekends.

Atlanta DUI Course: Candidates enrolling for the Atlanta DUI Course get two opportunities to receive a $10 gift card. They get the first Quik Trip coupon upon successful completion of a mandatory assessment to be completed at the Chamblee office. The second Quik Trip coupon can be received by students who meet requirements for the DUI school and risk reduction courses.

While $10 worth of free gas is indeed an incentive to entice drivers join the course, the real reason behind this is to encourage drivers to become responsible citizens.

About Nathan's Driving School:

The school was established by Nathan Lewit more than 2 decades ago with an intention to provide quality driver education.

Getting-in the UK’s leading educational website is growing from strength to strength

Nowhere is the trend towards websites and other online resources replacing the traditional book more clearly visible than in the world of online education. Tech-savvy young people are now just as likely to learn and get information through their smartphone, tablet or laptop as they are through books and newspapers. However, this migration over to the digital world has not always managed to harness the Internet's full potential, with many of the educational resources online seeming to continually reinvent the wheel.

Nevertheless, one new site, Getting-in, has bucked this trend by redefining the possibilities of online educational resources. And its new approach to offering guidance and advice to young people has by all account proved to be a great hit, with the site's popularity growing month by month. Having gone live in time for the start of the 2012-201gcse revision3 school year, between then and now Getting-in has already come to lead the online educational field.

The appeal of the site to young people looking for guidance related to their futures is clear from the moment you arrive at its homepage. While many educational sites look and feel drab, Getting-in's layout and visuals provide it with a fresh, intuitive appeal. More importantly, though, there is also a clear level of quality to back up its impressive visuals as, unlike many other educational sites, this one has been written entirely by a team of professional writers and educational experts.

This alone, however, does not tell the full story of the unique contribution that Getting-in is making to young people's futures. What truly sets this site apart from others is the sheer scope of its content. Where some sites purely offer revision notes and others concentrate on universities, Getting-in has something for all young people, regardless of whether their priority is preparing for exams, deciding where to go to university, getting help about suitable career paths, or discovering training and vocational options for life after school.

In addition to its unparalleled range of content including things like GCSE and A-Level revision guides, advice on writing personal statements and CVs and a wealth of articles related to careers, the site also makes great use of the technical capabilities of Web 2.0. For example, students looking for information on universities can search the UK's academic institutions using an interactive map, or get information on upcoming open days through its interactive calendar. And the site is also integrated into the world of social media, with its many followers on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ being able to both interact with the Getting-in team and receive regular updates that could help map out their futures. Users of Getting-in can even make great savings by using the site through taking advantage of the huge database of discounts it offers for shops and restaurants across the UK.

If the future of education lies online, then judging by the huge popularity that Getting-in has enjoyed in its first year of operation it is clear that the site is leading the way in showing how the potential of the web can be harnessed to help young people prepare for their futures.

The Hopping Law Group, PC wins a dismissal of all charges against their client after case was called to trial on Monday May 7, 2013 in the 291st District Court of Dallas County, Texas. The District Attorney's office indicted the Defendant and sought a conviction against her for child endangerment charges. Specifically, the State alleged in the indictment that Defendant grabbed a steering wheel in a moving car which subsequently caused an accident resulting in minor injuries to an occupant in another vehicle. After an investigation, Mr. Hopping identified several discrepancies between what the witnesses saw and what was reported in the offense report. The Defendant plead not guilty and rejected all plea offers, including an offer for probation, and the case was set for trial. Understanding the risks associated with entering a plea of not guilty and proceeding to trial, the Defendant and her attorney, Mr. Hopping, stood their ground. After the Judge called the case to trial, the Defendant announced she was ready to proceed. In the final hour, the State was unable to refute the discrepancies established by Mr. Hopping, and dismissed all charges against Defendant. Mr. Hopping stated that "I believe that the result was just, and I am happy that I was able to achieve a favorable result for my client." Cases like this illustrate how The Hopping Law Group, PC effectively defends their clients and protects them from prosecution by the District Attorney's office. This Defendant can now breathe easy knowing that she will no longer be prosecuted for alleged charges of child endangerment.

The Hopping Law Group, PC, a Texas disability law firm focuses on their clients' cases earlier in the appeals process and is constantly striving to obtain favorable decisions sooner rather than later. The median time from application to hearing in Texas is currently 304 days. It is the goal of the Hopping Law Group, PC to reduce that time frame as much as possible in their cases. "Many of our clients desperately need their awards and few of them can wait the year it may take to have a hearing on their case before an Administrative Law Judge or ALJ" stated Mr. Hopping. Mr. Hopping went on to state that "[he] firmly believes the more work done at the initial appeal stages can shorten the process for many claimants". His stance is that "sometimes it comes down to getting the right information regarding our clients' medical conditions to the right decision makers on the case." With this proactive approach to handling disability cases, the Hopping Law Group, PC anticipates the successful resolution of cases without the necessity of a hearing.

For this reason, it is imperative that an attorney aggressively fights the case at each step in the process. As seen with the results from the month of April 2013, the Hopping Law Group, PC is continuing to grow in successfully resolving claims prior to the cases reaching the hearing level. The Hopping Law Group, PC handles disability cases for disabled individuals throughout the state of Texas.

Industry Experts Defend SSDI

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), the safety net for disabled US workers, has come under recent scrutiny. Some critics suggest the program adds to the national deficit and is a drain on the US economy. They argue the program should be cut back or even eliminated. Industry experts however are asking for a more objective review of the national insurance program.

In fact SSDI adds nothing to the US deficit since the program is entirely funded by US payroll taxes. Another important qualification is that only those workers who have paid into the system are eligible for benefits. In addition, almost 70% of disabled applicants are denied benefits. And, even when maximum benefits are paid, the disabled worker earns barely above the Poverty Level.

David Sheehan, President of www.Social-Security-Lawyers.net explains, "Most of these attacks against SSDI are unfounded and misleading. SSDI guidelines are extremely strict and approval rates are very low. Almost all applicants," he says, "are initially denied. This is especially troublesome for aging baby-boomers who have been working since the 70s and 80s."

"SSDI," says Sheehan, "is an essential US Government system set up and administered for disabled American workers unable to work. Rather than abandoning our nation's most vulnerable and deserved citizens, we encourage positive reforms that make SSDI stronger, and will maintain it for the coming generations."

Cancer Support Project 33 Dresses Holds First Annual Online Photography Celebration

Local woman business owner and breast cancer survivor Elissa Ashwood is helping people around the world celebrate the "good stuff" in life. Her project, 33 Dresses, launched in 2012 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer during her baseline mammogram at age 40. Instead of just donning a hospital gown, Ashwood dug in and decided to wear 33 different dresses for each of her 33 days of radiation. She set up a blog and a Facebook page, and surprisingly hundreds of people from around the world joined her. This national movement to break out the good stuff has inspired not only people dealing with cancer, but all those who are uplifted by dealing with the difficulties of life with grace.

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the project, Ashwood is inviting survivors, caregivers and those wanting to celebrate what's good in life no matter what to join her in "breaking out the good stuff". The Break Out the Good Stuff project encourages participants to take a photo every day for 33 days, documenting the "good stuff" in their life. Participants are wearing dresses, donning fun socks or ties and simply taking the time to appreciate the good things in their lives. Each day, participants who sign up will receive a 1-line inspirational email from Ashwood and will be encouraged to take a photo every day.

"This is a chance to not only enjoy your good stuff, but the hobby of photography," says Ashwood. "It's a free way to fill yourself up inside. It's not really about photos, it's about seeing the beautiful around you, and enjoying your life even more because of it. That's something we can all do, no matter how much time we have."

"The photography project seemed the perfect anniversary celebration," says Ashwood. "People who participated in the 33 Dresses project the first time were amazed at how wearing dresses and doing special things had an impact on their lives."

Participants can sign up at 33Dresses.com, and can use the hashtag #33Dresses on Instagram and Twitter. While the project starts on April 30th, it's ongoing through June 1st and open to participants at any time. Even people who only have time to take one or two photos in this time period are encouraged to share the beautiful things in their life.

Precious Cargo Program Promotes Child Safety

Godsey Martin, P.C. today announced the re-launch of its "Project Precious Cargo" program, which gives families in need the chance to receive a free car seat along with guidance on proper installation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, car accidents are the leading cause of death for children, and up to 80 percent of child car seats may not be installed properly.

"The cost of a car seat should not be a deterrent to keeping a child safe," said partner Justin Martin. "You can't put a price on anyone's life, especially a child's. Unfortunately, we witness these tragedies and the repercussions of improperly installed seats - or worse, no seat at all. For a minimal cost to our firm, we can help save lives and do what we can to make sure children are safe and properly restrained if they're ever in a car accident."

A key component to the program includes an educational element to ensure car seats are installed properly. The first step is buying the right car seat based on your child's age and size. The second step is making sure the car seat is installed properly so your child is actually protected. Winners of the car seat giveaways will be required to have the car seat installed (at no charge) by a certified car seat technician.

The weekly giveaway will run from February 1 through the end of the year. To enter for a chance to receive a car seat, consumers or those interested in nominating individuals can visit projectpreciouscargo.com and provide their name, phone number, email address and a brief description of why they or someone they know should receive a free car seat. One winner will be notified every week by email and/or phone. All entries will remain eligible for four weeks from the submission date.

"We have always been committed to our community," said partner David Godsey. "We feel a greater reward when we're able to give back. Paying it forward aren't just words for us. They're a call to action for our employees and an integral part of our team's culture."

India Gets Its First Modern, Retirement Old-Age Home

Bringing modern retirement to India, Dream and Beauty Charitable Trust (DBCT), has introduced Heavenly Palace, the first-ever modern, old-age retirement home in India. Located in Doraha, Punjab, this senior citizen home actively transforms the perception of old-age homes in the country.

"People in India usually consider old-age homes as a place of despair, grief and melancholy. Heavenly Palace is a social venture aimed at progressive and happy living for senior citizens", explains Brig. R.K. Khanna, CEO, Heavenly Palace.

According to Dream and Beauty Charitable Trust, this retirement home embodies ultra-modern facilities like an amphitheatre, auditorium, a library and entertainment area for the senior citizens. The 14 acre campus is designed to provide senior citizens with luxury facilities and qualified medical assistance at all times.

"Indian parents save for their children even when they are above 60 years of age. At Heavenly Palace, we encourage senior citizens to spend on themselves and enjoy a respected luxury living", explains Khanna.

In the past decade, old age homes in India have evolved in terms of facilities and outlook.

The management at Heavenly Palace encourages group of retired friends to relocate together. According to them, community assisted living homes for the elderly allow a happier retirement.

This modern retirement home is now being endorsed for group of senior citizens of Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, and Tamilian origin to relocate as a community. Non-resident Indian or NRI senior citizens are finding this old age home in India, a safe haven to relocate without their families.

"Old age homes or retirement homes in India have been seen as a social stigma so far. With Heavenly Palace, we are bringing the 'Happy Retirement' ideology to India. We need this change in the Indian mindset, because children become independent but parents still need company in their older years", says Khanna.

This retirement home has received a decent response in the first few months. It is being considered ideal for community living by the locals.

Dream and Beauty Charitable Trust was founded in the year 1996. The mission of the trust includes working for the senior citizens, hunger alleviation, girl child issues and deprived migrant population. The trust is headquartered at Doraha, Punjab, India.

Hopping Law Group, PC wins Decision from Social Security Appeals Council

The Hopping Law Group, PC recently won a key decision from the Social Security Disability Appeals Council in Falls Church, VA remanding a case back to the Administrative Law Judge, or ALJ, in the Dallas North Office of Disability Adjudication and Review for further findings on the record.

After a hearing before the Administrative Law Judge and subsequent denial of benefits, The Hopping Law Group, PC filed an appeal of the Judge's decision. Attorney John Hopping asserted in his appeal that there were numerous inconsistencies regarding the Judge's decision finding that the claimant was capable of performing past relevant work as a customer service representative. Specifically, the Appeals Council held that the testimony of the vocational expert was inconsistent when he testified that the claimant could return to past relevant work as a customer service representative and stated that work was sedentary. There are no jobs listed in the Dictionary of Occupation Titles for a customer service representative that are sedentary. With this finding, the Appeals Council published an opinion that there was good cause to return the Claimant's case back to the hearing office for further review and possible approval of her claim for benefits.

This decision offers hope to the countless people struggling in their pursuits and dealings with the Social Security Administration since up to 50% of Claimants are denied at the hearing level. By retaining the Hopping Law Group to represent her for her claim, this Claimant may finally be awarded the benefits she has deserved. The remanding of this decision is promising news after a long fight in the pursuit of benefits. Mr. Hopping states that, "I fully support the decision by the Appeals Council and hope that this will be the final step in getting the benefits my client deserves." The Hopping Law Group, PC handles disability cases for disabled individuals throughout the state of Texas. The Hopping Law Group, PC has successfully represented numerous individuals at various stages in the process with obtaining their benefits.

Divorce or separation, don't run to lawyer's, run to the National Family Mediation Service

With the 1st of April rapidly approaching, most legal aid is about to end. Lord Neuberger commented to the BBC,

"I think we need to be careful not always to run to the lawyer when we think we've got a problem."

Lawyers come with expensive legal fees until now paid for by legal aid, but soon to become the problem of the respondents. A cheaper alternative to solicitors is the Family Mediation Service, where the fees are a fraction of the cost which the parties share equally.

Lord Neuberger, the President of the Supreme Court and the UK's senior judge has a vast amount of experience in these matters. His comments follow the sweeping changes to end legal aid in the majority of cases of divorce, separation and family dispute.

The National Family Mediation Service offers an affordable alternative to either paying large solicitor's bills or trying to fight the case themself. Family mediation has been in existence since April 2011 and has successfully worked with the courts and solicitors, to resolve disputed cases of divorce and separation.

The Government has made these moves try and save £350m a year on legal costs, and the top judge continues,

"This will mean that court hearings will last longer, the burden on court staff and judges will increase,"

If Lord Neuberger can envisage the potential chaos these cuts could make, it is easy to see how legal costs can escalate, leaving vulnerable people facing massive debts in order to get justice.

The National Family Mediation Service work's with both parties, either individually or together to resolve all disputes their divorce or separation may bring. After an assessment, they draw up an estimate of costs and both parties usually pay half each. This service is usually a fraction of the costs of litigation and decision are made by the parties to the mediation and not by the Courts. Mediation is not only cheaper but quicker and less stressful than litigation, allowing the parties to move on with their lives sooner than they would if they were involved in long drawn out and often protracted legal proceedings.

The public feel comfortable knowing they can seek justice with legal aid, which help's put them on a level playing field with those who can afford large legal fees. Taking this resource away from them will mean, as Lord Neuberger said,

"...or it will lead to people taking the law into their own hands."

Whether this means they will resort to illegal actions or clog up the courts as they try to resolve disputes for free, will only be known as the situation develops. The whole position has the potential of returning to the fear and distrust that was rife in the justice system prior to legal aid's introduction.

National Family Mediation Service Prepared for Changes

"Read all about it! Government changes to legal aid funding means 200,000+ cases must pay their own legal fees."

In April 2013, the Government are introducing new legal aid rules that stop funding to all but the most serious cases. This means, for those contesting a divorce or separation through the court, they will pay their own legal fees. Solicitors charge between £150 to £200 an hour, it does not take a genius to work-out how expensive it can become.

However, it is not all doom and gloom, since April 2011 it has been compulsory for disputing couples to attend a minimum of one mediation session. The new rules allow for details, of divorce or separation, to be settled through a third party mediation service; this saves valuable court time and expensive solicitors fees. The National Family Mediation Service (NFMS) is an established mediation company working closely with solicitors; they have a wealth of experience in the field of family disputes.

The introduction of family mediation was to save tax payers money and try to stop the spread of 'the claim culture'. Anyone finding they are in this unpleasant situation, will now benefit from the new rules, using family mediation as an alternative to solicitors; and without the prospect of an excessive legal bill.

Mediation the new resolution to family proceedings

Mediators work closely with solicitors to resolve matters in a fair and effective way; with the best interests of everyone being the focus. They spend time with both parties negotiating the details, without using expensive solicitors. Once they arrive at a satisfactory conclusion for all parties, the agreement is presented to the court.

Unfortunately, mediation is not free. The fee is calculated before the process starts, and, although it is not an exact art it provides a good indication of the overall cost. Those costs are divided equally between the parties. The negotiations take place away from the drama of the court, so they are less stressful. Another benefit of mediation is neither solicitors nor legal representatives need to be present at the sessions; keeping the cost down further.

The National Family Mediation Service has a network of offices across the country so there will be no difficulty finding one. For more information and a list of offices, visit the website http://www.nationalfamilymediationservice.co.uk.

National Family Mediation Service has offices across the UK and specialises in Family Mediation matters and is accredited by the Family Mediation Service. Call on 0800 862 0502.

CCU Debuts Enhanced Learning Management System

Over the course of this year, CCU will be rolling out a new learning management system, switching to Blackboard in an effort to create an enhanced learning experience for students. The Blackboard system will create a more streamlined integration between faculty and students, including a mobile app that allows students to check updates, watch video, or receive notifications on their cell phones.

"Our first priority was to improve the learning experience for students," said Sarah Scherling, assistant vice president of Academic Administration for CCU's College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS). "We wanted a seamless learning management system that was intuitive to operate and could deliver content to our robust online courses, as well as to supplement in-seat courses."

The Blackboard system will allow various courses to become less text-dependent, as content can be delivered through various media. While curriculum will stay the same, the student experience will not.

"Blackboard allows us to take a static experience and provide students more dynamic engagement," said Jason Drysdale, coordinator of instructional technology at CAGS. "It gives course designers a lot of opportunity to expand what students see and experience in their courses." For example, professors will have the opportunity to share messages or lectures by recording video directly in Blackboard. Elsewhere, threaded discussions will appear as a timeline, a format made popular by Facebook.

Additionally, staff will be able to run analytics and follow up with struggling students quickly and effectively while in the system. Overall, Blackboard will drastically reduce manual operations.

The decision to change learning management systems has been over a year in the making. In October 2011, CCU began examining systems in use in educational and business contexts, finally narrowing down to the top five contenders. After discussing criteria with these primary options, staff pored through literally hundreds of pages of research, and then presented the top three to stakeholders within the University. Blackboard was selected after months of examining data and discussing needs throughout CCU.

The new Blackboard system will become universal throughout the calendar year as CAGS moves to the system gradually, and the College of Undergraduate Studies switches before the 2013-14 school year.
