What is the CAN-SPAM Act? Here’s a little history: The CAN-SPAM Act, The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and
I just moved to Washington State, can I get a divorce?
This pops up often. For whatever reason people move to new cities, states, and countries, and then initiate their divorces.

Before you jump into business with them buy them dinner first….and breakfast, then lunch, and dinner again.
