The Wik Decision was a decision that the Australian High Court had made in December 1996, following a case brought by the Wik people of Cape York in North Queensland. The court had decided that indigenous people who can prove a connection to the land may have rights to hold ceremonies and perform other traditional activities - as long as they don't interfere with the pastoralists' legitimate activities.

The new tax relief specifically extends to qualifying requesting spouses in Sec 6015 (f) – equitable relief.

In essence this law would assist not just in the dividing of property and assets but would provide for the needs of children in addition to working to preserve respect and healthy communication between the divorcing parties.…

Partly because of the financial stress they had endured, coupled with the strain of moving away from friends and family, my grandparents’ marriage fell apart, and they divorced within a year.…
Bedridden and in the hospital because of his advanced, incurable lung cancer, Ralph, age 57 wants to discuss his options with his family. After much disagreement, Ralph comes to the conclusion that he is ready to end his despair and stop his suffering.

Physicianassisted suicide is legal in four U.S states: Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Vermont.…
