Steven, our client, is seeking a divorce from his husband, Todd. Steven is concerned that Todd, who has been in charge of the couple's finances for several years, will angrily respond to the service of the complaint by hiding or destroying the marital assets, many of which he had titled in his name. Your attorney has reviewed the situation and asked you to relate her position to Steven as a conduit, because she is in court today. What information did she cover?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Assuming we are about to file, we will consider asking for court intervention in a per-return date relief request. We will need prejudgment remedies pending litigation. Steven may even need a pendente lite support order. We would want to avoid any dissipation by freezing the marital assets. A request for an order attaching known assets would be a good start. Of course, Steven does not have the knowledge that Todd has, so we might need to make a motion for disclosure of assets, as well. We will prepare for an eventual deposition during discovery (we'll need a subpoena duces tecum) and prepare a notice to appear for a deposition to disclose assets to be served on Todd.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
