Outcomes to Domestic Disputes
Teresa and Joe Giudice are both accused of felonies in connection with alleged tax evasion according to People magazine’s August 19, 2013 edition. Louisiana law recognizes conviction of a felony with a sentence of hard labor as grounds for divorce. If one spouse is convicted before the other, can the other spouse get a divorce on those grounds even if both are ultimately convicted? Chances are, this will never happen to you. However, if you and your spouse are the subject of a criminal investigation that might lead to arrest and prosecution, you should seek the advice of counsel concerning your rights.
