I manage a small remote team of eight people, and we are spread across different time zones. I need to track hours so I can bill clients accurately and understand our workload, but I have not found a system that really works for us.

I tried using a shared spreadsheet for everyone to log their own hours, but people forgot to fill it out or the numbers did not always add up. I also tried asking for daily updates in Slack, but that turned into vague answers like "worked eight hours" with no real detail about where the time went.

I do not want to use software that takes screenshots or tracks mouse movements, because that feels invasive and my team would hate it. I just want something lightweight that runs in the background and gives me a clear picture of how time is being spent without making anyone feel watched.

Has anyone found a time tracking tool that works well for remote teams without being creepy?

I was in an accident and the other driver was clearly at fault, but their insurance is trying to say I'm partially to blame. I have no idea how to fight this. I'm worried about the cost though. Does anyone have experience with lawyer in Alabama? I really don't want to mess up my record because of some insurance company's technicality.

Filing for divorce after 18 years. My husband owns a small construction business in Macomb County and I'm convinced he's hiding income. Cash jobs that never get reported, tools and equipment that "disappear," money moving around that doesn't add up.

Our accountant filed joint taxes showing $85K income last year but we live way beyond that - new truck, boat, casino trips every month. Something's off.I talked to Iafrate & Salassa, P.C. during a free consult and they said I can request financial discovery, bank statements, business records, tax returns going back years.

They also mentioned hiring a forensic accountant if needed. Problem is I don't have access to any of his business accounts. He keeps everything separate and gets defensive when I ask about money.

For anyone who dealt with a spouse hiding assets in Michigan, what worked? Did forensic accountants find stuff? And how much does that cost on top of lawyer fees?
