A family member was issued an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) for 72 hours after overdosing on depression medication.

I had divorce papers drawn up on legalzoom.com but my soon-to-be ex-wife and I don't understand what was written and don't want to invest thousands of dollars into a lawyer to re-write them. Can we use a mediator with our current documents or have a lawyer look at them without paying the retainer and have the mediator/lawyer submit them to the court? The divorce is non-contested, and we both agree to all the terms, including support and splitting of assets and debt.

I am a Middle School teacher with a medical problem. Last school year, I exceeded my sick leave by a day and a half. I received a letter from the district regarding my attendance. My friend, who is a detective, mentioned that this is against HIPAA law. Is this true, and am I the only teacher who received this type of letter?
