Is Caltrans planning to remove Botts dots?

Let us assure you that there are no 
 immediate plans to get rid of Botts' Dots. Caltrans 
 is simply experimenting with different types of striping 
 that shows promise for providing better visibility, 
 durability and, yes, providing a tell-tale thump under 
 tires to warn motorists if they drift out of their lane. 
 It was experiments such as these that led to the development 
 of Botts' Dots in the 1950s, and we are always looking 
 for ways to do things better and safer. The bottom line 
 is that for a vast majority of highway applications, 
 Botts' Dots are here to stay.

Tips for first-time home buyersEducate yourself before looking for a home. Look for free seminars, sponsored by local not-for-profit organizations, for first-time home buyers. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a hotline number to help you locate free pre-purchase counseling near you: 1-800-569-4287Do not let yourself be pressured to sign anything. A legitimate business should always give you time to review a contract before signing. Never sign a document with blank spaces.Have your own attorney review all contracts and loan documents before you sign. It is not a good idea to use an attorney provided by the seller or the lender. Ask your attorney about any provision you do not fully understand. One way to find an attorney in New York City is by calling the Bar Association Referral Line at 212-626-7373.Shop around for the best mortgage terms for which you qualify. Mortgages with low down payments are available from a variety of lenders. The seller should not require that you use a particular mortgage bank. You can request a free brochure on choosing a mortgage from the New York State Banking Department by calling 1-800-522-3330.Get an independent inspection of the home. Negotiate a provision in the contract that states that you have the right to get an inspection by someone of your choosing and to cancel the contract if you are not satisfied with the inspection. Choose a licensed engineer or architect to perform the inspection.

Pandemic-related penalty relief
We’re issuing automatic relief for failure to pay penalties for certain 2020 or 2021 returns with assessed tax less than $100,000. This relief is to help taxpayers who didn’t get reminder notices during the pandemic-related pause in mailing IRS collection notices.
Find details in the December 19, 2023, news release and Notice 2024-7PDF.

Taxpayers who don’t meet their tax obligations may owe a penalty.
The IRS charges a penalty for various reasons, including if you don’t:
File your tax return on time
Pay any tax you owe on time and in the right way
Prepare an accurate return
Provide accurate and timely filed information returns
We may charge interest on a penalty if you don’t pay it in full. We charge some penalties every month until you pay the full amount you owe.
Understand the different types of penalties, what you need to do if you get a penalty and how to avoid getting one.
How you know you owe a penalty
When we charge you a penalty, we send you a notice or letter by mail. The notice or letter will tell you about the penalty, the reason for the charge and what to do next. These notices and letters include an identification number.
Verify the information in your notice or letter is correct. If you can resolve the issue in your notice or letter, a penalty may not apply.
For more information, see Understanding your notice or letter.
Types of penalties
These are some penalties we send notices and letters about:
Information return applies to taxpayers who don’t file or furnish their required information return or payee statement correctly by the due date.
Failure to file applies when you don’t file your tax return by the due date.
Failure to pay applies when you don’t pay the tax you owe by the due date.
Accuracy-related applies when you don’t claim all your income or when you claim deductions or credits for which you don’t qualify.
Annulment | California Courts | Self Help Guide
A putative spouse is someone who in good faith believed their marriage was legal. 
If you can prove you are a putative spouse, you can ask the judge to divide your property and debts, and order spousal support. The person who isn't a putative spouse can't ask the judge to do either. 
If you both knew the marriage wasn't legal from the start, there's no putative spouse. Learn more  
In an annulment, if there's no putative spouse, a judge can't divide your property and debts or order spousal support. If you need either, talk to a lawyer who can offer advice on what's best for your situation.
You can get orders about the care and support of your children 
If you have children together, you may need to establish that the other person is your child's legal parent (called establishing parentage). Then, the judge can make orders about child custody, visitation (parenting time), and support.
You don't need to meet the divorce residency requirement or have a waiting period 
No 6-month residency requirement: You do not need to have lived in California for 6 months and 3 months in the county where you file to start the process. You just need to live in California when you file.
No 6-month waiting period: Unlike in a divorce, you do not need to wait 6 months after your spouse was served papers for the case to be finished and go back to being single. When the court completes your final papers (your judgment), you are single.

Deciding if an annulment is right for your situation is hard. 
This site only has basic information. Your court's Self-Help Center staff can explain more. For advice about what's best in your situation, talk to a lawyer.
 

Annulments
What's next?

If you don't want (or don't qualify for) an annulment, you can still end your marriage in a divorce. You can also consider a legal separation. Go to Divorce in California to learn about both.
 
If you want to start a the annulment process, you can go to the next step.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Education and Training</h3>

<p>Chapter 35 benefits and the Fry Scholarship are the two main G.I. Bill programs offering educational assistance to survivors and dependents of Veterans who died in the line of duty or as a result of service-related disabilities.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Home Loan Guaranty</h3>

<p>Home loan benefits are available for surviving spouses receiving DIC. Spouses of deceased Veterans who were on the VA-guaranteed loan can refinance their VA loan to obtain a lower interest rate through VA’s Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL).</p>

<p>If a surviving spouse is having trouble making their mortgage payments, VA can provide counseling to help avoid foreclosure—even if the loan isn’t a VA-guaranteed loan. Surviving spouses can contact a VA loan technician at 877-827-3702 anytime to discuss their loan. They can also send a message online through the <a href="https://yourit.va.gov/csm?id=rlc_test_test&amp;sysparam_card=veteran_issue" rel="noopener">home loan guaranty support portal</a>.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Health Care</h3>

<p>Survivors and dependents of Veterans may qualify for health care benefits, such as VA’s Civilian Health and Medical Program, which shares the cost of most health care services and supplies with unmarried surviving spouses and children.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">VA Caregiver Support Program</h3>

<p>Advance care planning allows the caregiver and the Veteran to make important health care wishes known in advance, including assigning a trustworthy individual to make medical decisions for the Veteran if they are not able to. An advance directive is crucial for ensuring that the wishes and preferences of both caregivers and the individuals they care for are respected, particularly in times of medical crisis or incapacity.</p>
Annulment | California Courts | Self Help Guide
A judge can only annul a marriage for a specific legal reason.  A few examples
One of the spouses is married to another person (bigamy)
You got married when you were under 18 and it wasn't legal to do so
Your spouse tricked you to get you to agree to marry them
A very short marriage is not a legal reason for an annulment. There are at least 8 legal reasons a judge can annul a marriage.
Even if you and your spouse agree to the annulment, you will have to go in front of a judge to explain why your marriage was never legal to begin with.
What if my spouse asked to annul our marriage? 

Talk to your court’s Self-Help Center staff to find out more about an annulment and your options. For example, you could 
Agree to go forward with asking a judge to annul your marriage
Respond that you disagree that you qualify for an annulment
Ask for a divorce or legal separation instead
There are many options to consider. Getting an annulment instead of a divorce can have important effects on your rights. For advice on what’s best for your situation, talk to a lawyer. 

In an annulment, you may not be able to get spousal support or divide your property. Talk to a lawyer or get more information from your court's Self-Help Center.

A judge can only divide your property or order spousal support if one of you thought your marriage was legal
Unlike in a divorce or legal separation, in an annulment a judge can't always divide your property and debts or order spousal support.
A judge can only do this if they find that one of you is a putative spouse. A putative spouse is someone who in good faith believed their marriage was legal. 
If you can prove you are a putative spouse, you can ask the judge to divide your property and debts, and order spousal support. The person who isn't a putative spouse can't ask the judge to do either. 
If you both knew the marriage wasn't legal from the start, there's no putative spouse. Learn more

Building a Strong Financial Future: A Guide for Unmarried Partners
9 months ago

There’s been an increase in the number of couples who’ve chosen to be together but haven’t married. They might live together, called cohabitation, or maintain separate households, known as living apart together (LAT).
In California, and on the federal level, unmarried couples and domestic partnerships generally don’t have the same legal privileges as married couples . Partners who live together have the option of creating a cohabitation agreement, a legal document that outlines how they want to address household expenses, childcare, and retirement accounts. But even if you and your partner prefer not to create a legal agreement, it’s important to discuss your finances when the relationship becomes serious.
Partnerships require honest and effective communication, especially when it comes to money. Below we’ve gathered tips on how to start the conversation and a few topics to explore, plus impacts to your CalPERS benefits.
Starting the Conversation
The best time to talk about finances is when both partners are relaxed and open to the discussion. Rather than address every topic at once, you can pick one or two to start. If it helps, set a time limit so that the chat stays on course and check in with how you both are feeling. Take notes so you can remember what was said and create a to-do list. End the discussion with something light-hearted, like a walk to get ice cream or coffee, so you can wind down and reconnect.
Planning for Today and the Near Future
What’s their credit score?
It may feel awkward asking your partner about their credit score, but it can be a good way to start the money conversation. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, “a credit score is a prediction of your credit behavior, such as how likely you are to pay a loan back on time, based on information from your credit reports.”
