Crime often increases when there is no fear of strict punishment. It is inhumane not to deliver justice for victims of brutal crimes like rape and murder. Many criminals have psychopathic tendencies due to impaired brain functioning, which may require medical intervention rather than just psychological methods. Society should protect itself by imprisoning such individuals for their treatment. However, some crimes, such as financial fraud, theft without violence, or tax evasion, should be addressed differently. Offenders of these crimes should not necessarily be imprisoned, as this can overcrowd jails, increase costs for taxpayers, and hinder recovery efforts. Racial crimes that do not cause physical or mental harm should be addressed through education rather than imprisonment, regardless of the offender’s academic credentials. Each crime should be handled according to its nature.

Nuptial Agreements can reflect the financial discussions that you have had with your partner when seeking to protect assets, business interests, and future inheritance. They are not binding on the Family Court, but the Court must uphold the terms of a Nuptial Agreement if it was properly prepared, freely entered into and is fair to both parties. We want to ensure that you have an agreement that works for you both and helps protect both of you, now and in the future.
