​​In T&T, there are TWO main ways to end a marriage - by annulment and by divorce.

Under the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago, every person who is arrested or detained has certain rights.

Most of us don't really think about making a will - it can be an uncomfortable subject.  Or maybe you do intend to make one but it has gone on the backburner. In the past, a few persons have asked if you can just draft one yourself. So can you make your own will?  

​Animal cruelty is the abuse toward or neglect of an animal. It happens to all different types of animals and in every corner of the world. It is also preventable and unnecessary. In Trinidad and Tobago there are laws to protect our furry pals with stiff (appropriate) penalties. 

​When relationships don’t work out and couples separate, children are sometimes left caught in the middle. However, parents can work together and put the child’s needs first and ensure that the child has a full and healthy relationship with both parents.

​In Trinidad and Tobago there's not as much discussion about the parental rights of fathers and many men may be unaware of the parental rights they possess.

​An adult in T&T is allowed to grow four marijuana plants. Knowing this, you may decide you would like to grow some. However, the next question may be: where do I get the seeds? Can I purchase it from someone in T&T? Can I purchase some online and have it sent to me in T&T? Is it legal?

A marriage or common law relationship may start with a happy blissful beginning but it may become abusive over time. What if the wife is being forced to have sexual intercourse with her husband - can she do something about it?  Is it against the law?

​The incidence of rape and sexual assault in T&T is an issue with which we should all be concerned. In July 2019, the Rape Crisis Society of Trinidad and Tobago indicated that they noticed an increasing trend since 2016 - with 3 per cent more of their clientele reporting rape, sexual violence and domestic violence.  We've even seen a local soca star recently charged with attempted rape and grievous sexual assault. 

So what is the definition of rape and the definition of sexual assault in T&T and what penalties can one face if he or she is found guilty?

​If this has happened to you, you may be a victim of what is called "revenge porn".
