It's not easy to talk to your ex during the divorce process or even after the case gets finalized. Maybe you never wanted to end the marriage. Perhaps your spouse left you for someone else. The last thing you want to do is give them a call or sit down in a room together and have a face-to-face conversation.

Instead, you decide to start sending your messages with the children. You just tell them what you want your ex to know and ask them to relate any response to you when you see them again. Maybe you text them when you know they're with your ex to check up on it. Since you have shared custody, it seems like the perfect solution.

It may be nearly impossible to realistically eliminate all ladder falls, one of the leading causes of on-the-job injuries. It's like trying to eliminate car accidents. It's possible in theory, but it continues to happen at an incredible rate.

That said, there are definitely some ways to reduce ladder falls, and keep workers safe. Here are five important tips from experts who researched how and why these incidents took place:

1. Use alternatives, like scaffold systems and aerial lifts so that workers simply do not have to spend as much time on ladders in the first place.
2. Do more work at ground level, when possible, so that workers do not even have to use ladders or other alternatives. This may not be as fast, but it could increase safety on the job.
3. Give all workers proper safety training on the job. Make sure they understand how to use a ladder safely and that they have hands-on practice doing so before they actually have to work.
4. Inspect all ladders before use. This should happen periodically, even if the ladder has been used safely for some time.
5. Always make sure that the ladder a worker uses is the right one for the location, the task at hand and the worker's own physical build.

Georgia has seen its fair share of deadly accidents as summer begins, with two recent deadly crashes on the same day. That day was June 4, a Tuesday.

The first accident happened right around 2 p.m. At least two people were riding in a 2007 Toyota Camry. One of the passengers was a 17-year-old boy.

Domestic violence is, unfortunately, one of the reasons that many people finally decide to end their marriages. These relationships deteriorate to the point that people do not feel physically safe.

This can lead to a confrontational divorce. It may mean that one spouse loses their right to see the children. It can lead to protection orders and even the intervention of the police.
