On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 29, 2016 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce
Fireworks can be a sign of celebration. Special events such as the annual marking of our country's independence, which is just days off, tend to warrant such displays. Rounds of oohs and ahhs are sure to be heard wherever you catch the pyrotechnics. In the context of...
I’m named ‘personal representative’ in a will. What does it mean?
On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 23, 2016 | Estate Planning, Firm News
A loved one or close friend has just died. If the person had foresight to create an estate plan, a personal representative is probably named in the will. If no will exists, it may be known that the deceased had someone in mind to serve in this capacity and so the...
Study: Economy contributes to gaps in dad engagement
On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 22, 2016 | Fathers' Rights, Firm News

Summer can pose special shared custody challenges
On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 15, 2016 | Child Custody, Firm News
School's out for summer. All the routines that families in Little Rock have gotten into for the past nine months are likely now in total disarray. Even if they're not, there are still probably speed bumps in the road that weren't there a little while ago. This can be...
Why should I worry about estate taxes?
On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 11, 2016 | Estate Planning, Firm News
What constitutes a person's estate? It can be made up of many things. Real estate is the thing that most people in Arkansas probably associate with this subject. That makes sense, since the largest single investment most of us ever make in our lives is owning a home....
Is nesting for the birds or a viable child custody model?
On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 9, 2016 | Child Custody, Firm News
We know a lot more about the psychological needs of children today than we used to. At least we hope we do. That's why, in Arkansas and all other states, the primary tenet that family courts try to follow is one that puts the best interests of the children foremost on...

On Behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Jun 8, 2016 | Debt Relief, Firm News
