• Appellate Court Vacates Default Judgment in 'Secret Divorce' Case

A Waldorf woman whose husband allegedly obtained a secret divorce from her - and custody of their young son - while the couple was still living in the same house has found relief in the Court of Special Appeals.Anita Wells claims she did not know that the Charles County Circuit Court had entered a default judgment of absolute divorce against her until a deputy sheriff arrived at the couple's home to eject her last May. Anita's husband, Michael A. Wells, had obtained a judgment of divorce three days earlier - including a custody award, $480 a month in child support and use and possession of the family home - by default.Anita swiftly filed motions to vacate the order of default, and to obtain a new trial or to alter or amend the judgment of divorce. She claimed that while she had been ser...

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Win No. 30 in Justine Henin's current streak gave her a few things to work on in her next match at the Australian Open.

• Quick Exits of Subprime Mortgages

All holders of mortgage contracts, regardless of type, have three options: keep their payments current, prepay (usually through refinancing), or default on the loan. The latter two options terminate the loan. The termination rates of subprime mortgages that originated each year from 2001 through 2006 are surprisingly similar: about 20, 50, and 80 percent, respectively, at one, two, and three years after origination. For loans originated when house prices appreciated the most, terminations were dominated by prepayments. For loans originated when the housing market slowed, defaults dominated. The similarity of the loan termination rates for all vintages in the sample suggests that subprime mortgage loans were intended to be "bridge" (i.e., temporary) loans. In addition, between 2001 and 2...

• The Revocation-Upon-Divorce Doctrine: Tennessee's Need to Adopt the Broader Uniform Probate Code Approach

[...] the Tennessee statute revokes provisions in a will concerning a former spouse but, unlike the UPC, says nothing about provisions in a will regarding a former spouse's relatives.5 Also, unlike the UPC, Tennessee law fails to extend the revocation-upon-divorce doctrine to will substitutes such as life insurance policies, retirement plans, or annuities, though it does apply the doctrine to trusts.6 Undoubtedly, the drafters of the Tennessee Code have given great mought to how a typical divorced decedent who has failed to make changes to his estate plan would have intended his estate to be distributed. Since the Tennessee codification of the revocation-upon-divorce doctrine in 1985, however, it has become increasingly common for a person to have been divorced and/or to have had child...
