DETROIT CHAP. 9 BANKRUPTCY: PENSIONS CAN BE CUT
www.charlesjeromeware.com. " Here to make a difference."
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013: Michigan U. S. District Court Judge Steven Rhodes ruled today that the city of Detroit has met the specific legal criteria required to receive Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection from its creditors --- including its retirees.
Setting the stage for the largest municipal bankruptcy in the history of the United States, Rhodes
stated to the surprise of many that the city would also, as part of its bankruptcy, be allowed to cut
pensions for Detroit municipal retirees --- so long as these cuts are part of a fair and equitable overall Chapter 9 bankruptcy plan.

HUGUETTE CLARK ESTATE SUES BETH ISRAEL HOSPITAL FOR $ 100 MILLION
www.charlesjeromeware.com. " Here to make a difference. We fight, you win. "
The $300 million Estate of deceased reclusive New York copper heiress Huguette Clark is suing
New York City's Beth Israel Medical Center and one Dr. Henry Singman for allegedly exploiting the heiress " in order to extract millions" of dollars from her Estate. The millionaire heiress died in the hospital in 2011 at the age of 104, after having lived in the facility for 20 years without the hospital's legal department even knowing about her stay there.
New York City's Public Administrator says the hospital " deliberately violated state law and internal protocols, falsified records, and hid Huguette Clark's existence from the hospital's lawyers as well as
outside regulators so that it would not be forced to discharge her as required [ New York Daily News,
Thursday, November 21, 2013].
It is reported that Clark gave over $ 30 million to the " lucky" nurse who provided most of her
(apparently unnecessary) care, $ 4.0 million to Beth Israel, and over $ 800,000 to the very fortunate
( and apparently minimally used) Dr. Singman and his family, among some $ 40 million in gifts. The Public Administrator's Office is overseeing the Estate because the original administrators were removed for allegedly wasting assets [ ww.abajournal.com/news/article/ November 22, 2013/$100 Suite: Hospital Housed Heiress For Decades, Hid Her From Legal department To Get More Of Her Money].

MARYLAND DIVORCE “CRAWFORD CREDITS”: www.charlesjeromeware.com
In Maryland divorce cases, the words “Crawford
Credits” are frequently maintained by the attorneys for the parties. Exactly what are ‘Crawford credits’ as used
in Maryland divorce?
In Maryland , when one
co-tenant pays the mortgage, taxes and other carrying charges of the property
held as tenants by the entirety, that co-tenant is entitled to contribution
absent an agreement to the contrary between the parties. In other words, “Crawford Credits” entitle a
payor spouse to contribution from the non-payor spouse for expenses such as the
mortgage, repairs, taxes, etc.
“Crawford
Credits” get their name from the Maryland
family law case, CRAWFORD v. CRAWFORD, 293 Md.
307 (1982).
[Crawford
v. Crawford, 293 Md. 307, 443 A.2d 599 (1982);
DeTommasi v. DeTommasi, 27 Md.
App. 241, 340 A.2d 341 (1975)].
