...mind that I'm not allowed to drive here," a Saudi woman with a valid American license told me. "What I really mind is that I need my husband's written approval for everything, even if I want to go to Bahrain. I am not considered the legal guardian of my children. They need my husband's signature to go on a school trip." The agony of the elites appears to be real, even if it is usually accompanied by the reflexive blaming of Israel for everything, including the recent assassination of Lebanese leader Rafiq Hariri...

More usual and costly is a guardianship suit, by which you seek to become your mother's legal guardian, revoking the POA.

...pending measures would create "alcohol disorder zones" in unruly areas and levy fines on premises that consistently cause problems in order to fund more police. So far, the government has yet to sell its view to the public. Polls conducted by research firm ICM for the BBC and the Guardian newspaper in January found that 53% of those surveyed oppose extended licensing hours, 39% approve and about two-thirds don't think they will reduce antisocial behavior or make Britain a better place to live. British police say they are already overwhelmed by the scale of drink-related disorder...
