Keep divorce out of court
– moneysense.ca
Years ago I wrote a book on divorce. Having been through the process a bunch of times—I’m the eternal optimist—I believe there are better ways of handling a breakup than taking a contract out on your ex. (For the sake of full disclosure, I’m a part owner in The Common Sense Divorce.)
Divorce impacts your life in so many ways. Even as you’re trying to untangle your emotions, you’ll likely have to help your kids figure out theirs. And then there’s the money. If you want to hang on to as much of that as you can, then rule No. 1 is: Stay out of court.
Let’s say you’ve got 12 oranges. They represent all the assets you’ve accumulated during your relationship. Now you have to decide how many of those oranges you’re willing to give your lawyer. The more often you write, call, and meet, the bigger the bill. And if you go to court, you may not have enough oranges left to make even a teaspoonful of orange juice!
Using your lawyer to torture your ex is expensive and will leave you with far less to restart your life…

Chinese ex-banker accused of amassing 45 houses under several IDs stands trial for forgery
– canadianbusiness.com
BEIJING, China – A former Chinese banking official accused of amassing a real estate empire of at least 45 properties under multiple fake identities stood trial Tuesday for forgery, state media said, in a case that has revealed privileges of the powerful in China.
The trial opened in Jingbian County People’s Court in the northern province of Shaanxi against Gong Ai’ai, a former vice-president of a local rural bank, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Four former government employees also went on trial for their role in the wrongdoing. Calls to the court went unanswered.
Gong denied the charges of forging, buying and selling state identification papers, arguing that all her identification documents were processed by police authorities, state media said. A verdict was expected at a later date. If convicted, Gong would face time in jail.
Gong, who allegedly bought at least 45 properties worth $160 million, came to be known as “Sister House” among the Chinese public and fueled public demands that officials declare their assets…
