- were arrested for a crime;
- were served with legal papers;
- were involved in a serious accident causing personal injury or property damage;
- have had a change in family status such as divorce, adoption, or death; and
- have had a change in financial status such as obtaining or losing valuable personal property or real estate, or filing for bankruptcy.
