A property settlement agreement or separation agreement in a Virginia divorce is like the world’s weirdest grocery list. It will have a lot of details on it, in odd juxtaposition, and not a single item can be left out or you will certainly regret it later. In a moment of inspiration, we put together this convenient checklist while picking up ...
Real Virginia police recently arrested a man for wearing police attire1 to get the drop on his victim. This earned the fake cop two real two charges: malicious wounding with a caustic substance (he pepper sprayed him) and impersonating a law officer.

Anderson Cooper, the journalist, is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, the multi millionairess. Little Gloria was only 10 when she was the unwilling center of the nation’s biggest child custody suit1, in 1934. As with many “trials of the century,” the Vanderbilt child custody battle had everything: sex, money, lesbian sex, all-night parties, extramarital sex, liquor, wild sex, and exotic ...

Talk about a large family to care for. Greek king of the gods, Zeus, was married seven times and had, by most estimates, 92 children1. Getting around to see all those kids was tough, even for Zeus.
