| Married or not, how will your property be divided after a breakup?
The end of a relationship is never easy. Two recent decisions from the supreme courts of Illinois and New Hampshire reveal that the recognition of marriage equality may have the unintended consequence. The rights of unmarried couples may become harder to protect after a split. Meanwhile, if new sociological research is correct, there are two seasonal peaks for divorce filings in the U.S. The first spike occurs in March, which is not much of a surprise, since private detectives often point to Valentine’s Day as the busiest day in their business. The second surge occurs in August. Maybe Sinatra was right about that summer wind.

Are you prepared to respond to a whistleblower situation?
At the end of 2015, the Economist declared our time “The Age of the Whistleblower.” The tactics on each side of such cases continues to become more sophisticated. As part of their severance packages, employees at some companies have been asked to sign agreements that appear to waive their right to any whistleblower awards. Meanwhile, in a current case against Medtronic, the whistleblower is an LLC that may represent more than one complainant.
Whether you are pursuing or defending a whistleblower claim, Asterion’s skill in fraud examinations and forensic analyses may help support your position.
