While there are hundreds of potential reasons for a divorce, not all of the factors that contribute to divorce are in control of you or your spouse. A surprising array of factors outside a couple affects their chances of divorce. One of the first and most obvious is a change in divorce laws.

People didn’t suddenly become less happy in their marriages; it was just easier to leave an … Continue reading →

Every citizen of Clearwater is probably familiar with the DUI Scooter that has been on the news and advertised all around town. Its a fair alternative for the transportation needs of anyone with a DUI, DWI, or a suspended license, as long as you still play by the rules.
