The Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure are up for review from Apple. There are no pending rule amendments, but while checking for amendments, we noticed that several changes to the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure will take effect January 1, 2010. So, here's a heads-up for those rules.

The Alabama Rules of Evidence have remained unchanged since January 1, 1996. However, the Birmingham Bar Association announced that the Alabama Supreme Court has rectivated the Advisory Committee on the Alabama Rules of Evidence to review the rules. So changes are in the offing at some point.

The usefulness of information is limited by how long it will be until the information changes. Texas child support law draws on part of the federal tax code which changes annually even when Texas law does not. Our pricing policy is to cut the price of time-limited applications quarterly. We have cut the price of CS Calc 2009 accordingly.

Congress noremally tinkers with the tax code in November. Before the first of the year, the 2010 version of CS Calc will be available. We'll add a post to this blog to announce the new version.
