How ‘innocent spouses’ are viewed by the IRS
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 26, 2017 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce

Grandparents sometimes have compelling visitation arguments
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 26, 2017 | Child Custody, Firm News
In many -- in fact, most -- divorce matters in Arkansas and nationally, the parties at the center of dissolution-related issues are the so-called "nuclear" components, that is, mom, dad and the kids. Although that mix of parties and related interests most often...
Government’s asset forfeiture program deeply concerning, Part 2
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 21, 2017 | Firm News
We noted recently that the IRS and its Criminal Investigation division are under strong figurative fire from Congress and myriad critics for the latter's excessive zeal and troublesome tactics in what has essentially amounted for years to a shakedown of innocent...

On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 18, 2017 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce

Many of us are financially stressed: doing something about it
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 12, 2017 | Firm News, Personal Bankruptcy
Query to Arkansas residents who admittedly feel some appreciable stresses -- including financial pressures -- as they go about their daily lives: Do you want to move to Minnesota? Perhaps some of you might consider the idea, given that state's placement on a recent...
Full speed ahead: Here’s an interesting family law development
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 11, 2017 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce
Some couples who were patiently and methodically planning their weddings slated for a late date in 2017 have now moved up their timetable, well, just a tad. In fact, they are now scurrying at full speed to get things formally done just as fast as they can by getting a...
Unquestionably, a singular niche: juvenile criminal conduct
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 7, 2017 | Firm News
If you ask most adults in Arkansas why adolescent criminal offenders don't routinely receive the same treatment from law enforcers and prosecutors as is meted out to adult offenders, the answer will be quick and simple. To wit: They're different. We just know that. It...
You love your pets: Does your estate planning reflect that?
On behalf of Robertson, Oswalt, Nony & Associates | Apr 4, 2017 | Estate Administration, Firm News
If you were asked as a pet-loving Arkansas resident for an estimate regarding how many cats and dogs live with families across the country as pets, what might you guess? Ten million? Double that amount? Fifty million? Any of those answers would be far off the mark....
