In the lightening fast world of sound bites and propaganda-muddled "news," we can hear misinformation so often that it becomes "common knowledge." But a lot of the so-called common knowledge, such as the litigation explosion in our courthouses, is far from accurate. This misinformation can hurt you and your family.

In 2005, the Virginia Court of Appeals denied Pearson's appeal seeking at least $10,000 in spousal support in his divorce from Rhonda VanLowe, legal counsel for Rolls-Royce North America. Pearson wanted VanLowe to help support him because he was receiving unemployment benefits in 2003 before he was appointed as an administrative law judge in 2005. |
