Divorce battle ongoing for CSI creator

Posted on March 8th, 2012 No Comments

Anthony Zuiker, the creator of the hit television series, CSI, is in an on-going divorce battle with his ex-wife. Zuiker and his wife were married for 12 years before they chose to part ways. She filed the papers against him, citing irreconcilable differences.

His now ex-wife is seeking full custody of their three children, as well as monthly child support payments. She is looking for upwards of $400,000 per month in child support. She is now asking a judge for an additional payment of $3 million in order to build a $6 million California home for herself and her children.

Their case was expected to be heard by a judge yesterday. It is uncertain if Zuiker is looking for joint custody of their three children.

Smoking could cause parents to lose custody

Posted on March 1st, 2012 No Comments

Cigarette smokers do not have the upper hand in child custody cases. Courts across America are strongly factoring this habit into the outcome of custody cases involving minor children.

A court in Georgia reversed a child custody arrangement after they were presented evidence showing that the mother, a smoker, was the reason behind the young child developing asthma. The woman’s ex-husband took her to court to have the custody changed, because the woman was seen smoking around their daughter. The court sided with the ex-husband, and gave him sole custody of their child.

An advocacy group against tobacco use gathered data regarding the effects smoking has on the outcome of child custody cases, and found that more than 18 states have declared that smoking around children should be factored into the decision of a custody case. The data also shows that several custody cases have been altered based on tobacco use.

If you have questions regarding a child custody arrangement, please contact the Oceanside child custody lawyers of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP by calling 760-722-7646 today.

Fatal shooting at California Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Long Beach

Posted on February 23rd, 2012 No Comments

Last Thursday, Ezequiel Garcia, of California Immigration and Customs Enforcement, shot at Kevin Kozak, his superior officer, with his service weapon during an argument in the Long Beach office.

Kozak suffered six gunshot wounds. Another agent near the scene shot and killed Garcia. Kozak is now in stable condition at a local hospital.

Details have not been confirmed, but police believe the argument stemmed from a discussion regarding Garcia’s job performance. Garcia’s wife has stated that their 14 year marriage was possibly ending in divorce, and that may have contributed to Garcia’s behavior.

Prop 8 rejected in California

Posted on February 7th, 2012 No Comments

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday morning that Proposition 8, the ban on gay marriage in the state of California, is unconstitutional.

The decision was made in a 2-1 vote and the panel explained their decision by stating that Prop 8 “used the state’s initiative power to target a minority group and take away a right the group possessed, without legitimate reason.”

The ruling has 14 days to take effect, and it is anticipated that groups that oppose gay marriage, such as the “Family Research Council” and “Protectmarriage.com” will appeal this decision for a second time. It is also possible that the case could be moved straight to the Supreme Court.

Judge Stephen Reinhart explained that Prop 8 violates the 14th Amendment’s equal-protection clause by stating, “Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.”

After speculation that journalist and former first lady of California, Maria Shriver, 56, wanted to reconcile her marriage with Arnold Schwarzenegger, she is still moving forward with the divorce, according to the New York Daily News.

Shriver filed for divorce on July 1 when reports revealed that Schwarzenegger had a son with the family’s housekeeper, Mildred Baena, in 1997. The truth was revealed when Shriver confronted Baena in December 2010 about how much Baena’s son resembled Schwarzenegger.

San Diego Chargers bring back Turner and Smith

Posted on January 5th, 2012 No Comments

Oceanside divorce attorneys of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP are excited to announce the San Diego Chargers coach Norv Turner and general manager T.J. Smith will be back next season to lead the team again.

Many fans were unhappy with this decision, and Chargers president Dean Spanos discussed how keeping Turner and Smith will keep stability amongst the team and give them their best shot at going to the Super Bowl next year.

Quarterback, Philip Rivers, states, “The longer you keep that continuity and that consistency together, I think it’s proven to win out over time. You look at years’ past in Pittsburgh when they held that together with [Bill] Cowher for all those years. Over time it got done. You got to stick with it and that’s why I’m excited: to stick with it. Because there’s been plenty of 8-8 teams that have bounced back the next year and won it all.”
