    Ask the Lawyer: What is needed to obtain a domestic violence restraining order?
    Q: I prefer not to go into detail, so I will just say my soon-to-be ex-husband is harassing me, including by text. He finally moved out, but I am still thinking of applying for a domestic violence restraining order. Just what does it take to get that kind of order, and how long does it last?

    Ron Sokol
    A: There is a bit of a misnomer when the domestic restraining order is described as one specifically related to “violence.” Abuse would be the better term, as the misc

    Former OC attorney faces trials for 2nd wife’s death, alleged death threat to 3rd wife
    A judge ruled Tuesday that a man accused of strangling an ex-wife and throwing her body off of a cruise ship in Italy can also face trial for allegedly soliciting fellow inmates to kill another ex-wife to prevent her from serving as a witness in his upcoming murder trial.
    Lonnie Loren Kocontes, 61, was already charged with the murder of his second wife, Micki Kanesaki – whose body was found floating off of the coast of Paola, Italy in May 2006 – when prosecutors in 2015 alleged that

    White House explored legality of demoting Fed Chairman Powell
    The White House explored the legality of demoting Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in February, soon after President Donald Trump talked about firing him, according to people familiar with the matter.
    The White House counsel’s office weighed the legal implications of stripping Powell of his chairmanship and leaving him as a Fed governor, the people said, in what would be an unprecedented move. A replacement would have to be nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate.
