My son has been arrested... what now?

I recently heard from a friend that her son had been arrested for drunk driving and that it had been quite a traumatic experience for the family to get their son released on bail. I have to admit I know nothing about bail and I am worried that I won’t know what to do to help my own child should he or she be arrested one day. How does bail work and what should I know?

Can you change your matrimonial property system?

My husband and I were married in community of property many years ago. We now however feel that it would be better for the management of our family and separate business interests if we were rather married out of community of property. Can we change our marriage system to out of community of property?
