Laws

How happy are you in your relationship? I don't mean to intrude, but the reason I ask is if you're common law married, there's something you need to know if you're thinking about moving to Illinois. There's only one (rather awkward) reason to do it.

There's nothing quite like having someone you love that loves you back in a long-term relationship. In some states, after 7 years together, you are common law marriage. What about Missouri? Is there common law marriage in the Show Me State? The answer is both yes and no. It's complicated.

You would think that it's no big deal to take a picture of a person, but you'd be wrong and that's especially true in Missouri where there are specific scenarios that could get you into real trouble.

Only 10 states in the country have laws that give people the "right to die" will Illinois become the 11th? Here is what lawmakers will be discussing in the spring session this year...

I do understand their reasoning, but I must admit that a part of me is also disappointed that the federal government has told Missouri that it cannot use funny road signs anymore. Just the facts, mam.

The Illinois Supreme Court will have to answer that very question. The debate rages on since marijuana became legalized in the Land of Lincoln, should a police officer be allowed to search your vehicle based on smelling weed during a traffic stop? Here are the details...

It's common sense to move away from any lane where you see an emergency vehicle along a roadway. In Missouri, it's more than just a good idea or suggestion though. As a matter of fact, you can get a serious fine for violating Missouri's Move Over law. It can cost you seriously big bucks.

Laws are having to evolve with fast-developing technology. Don't believe me? Did you know that there are now laws about where you can and cannot fly a drone and that includes specific rules involving the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. It is possible, but the exceptions are rare.
