Attorney answers:
Howw do i get a domestic volience charge drop
Whether or not the victim goes to court or wants to drop charges, Georgia law requires the State to prosecute if the officer saw evidence of violence. You can be convicted even if your wife or girlfriend does not testify. The best way to fight the charge is to enroll in domestic violence and anger management counseling. The court is most interested in people who live together learning to disagree without physical violence.

Attorney answers:
In a divorce involving senior citizens, can the wife get part of the husband's V.A. pension
In Georgia a judge may divide up retirement of both parties as equitable division or as alimony. However only retirement that was earned while the parties were married can be divided as a property right. After considering the financial circumstances, length of the marriage, and conduct of the parties, a divorce judge may divide any part of both the VA retirement and the railroad retirement which was earned during the marriage.

Attorney answers:
Can a woman change both her middle and last names in connection with a marriage in Texas?
In Georgia and most other states a woman can change her name to whatever she wants as part of a divorce. If she did not drop your name when she divorced you, she is entitled to keep it as long as she wants. When she marries her next husband she is entitled to add his name to hers; not substitute it for yours. A court name change is not required; her marriage license will suffice.
