Family Law: Separation
Separation, in the law of domestic relations, either a separation agreement, that is, a contract entered into between husband and wife by which they agree to live apart; or a judicial separation, a court decree that separates the parties to the marriage and provides for their living apart. Separation does not dissolve the marriage relationship. A separation agreement contains provisions for the custody and support of minor children, as well as for the division of property between the parties.
Strict Liability

One of the underlying precepts of criminal law is a Latin maxim that holds 'there can be no guilt without a guilty mind'.
Statute of Limitations
Author: Evan Bailyn
There was no statute of limitations in common law. It is a statutory creation and is not drawn from an individual's inherent rights but from "legislative grace."
