Child circumcision is more expensive since it usually requires general anesthesia. Children will not sit still while needles are injected into the penis and while the doctor cuts of the foreskin off the penis, and so the usual practice is to perform the surgery under general anesthesia, that is with the child asleep. Circumcision is not recommended because it has no known medical benefits, and as a number of serious medical risks including prolonged bleeding, infection, severe pain, and surgical error that can result in damage to the penis. There are also risks of brain damage, injury, and death from complications of the circumcision and from complications of the general anesthesia. For these reasons most physicians recommend against circumcision.
Circumcision is not covered by health insurance since it is not a necessary medical procedure. For a child it will cost between $2,000 and $3,000. For an adult, it will cost between $500 and $1,000.
Many adults wish to avoid circumcision because of the painful recovery and because the man can hot have sex or masturbate for a month following the surgery. Circumcision removes a normal part of the penis that functions to protect the glans of the penis. Removal of the foreskin can cause decreased sensitivity of the penis and decreased pleasure during sexual intercourse. This is yet another reason why circumcision is becoming increasingly uncommon. Circumcision is very rare in most of the world. Some religious groups, for examples Jews and Muslims, may practice circumcision. In the United States, circumcision is far less common now than it once was. During the 1970s and 1980, around 80% of male infants were circumcised in the United States. A study conducted in the United States from 2005-2007 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2005-2007. For more information, see: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_functions_of_the_foreskin

Sorry, no go. Supreme Court Judgments can't be overturned by mere Family Courts-- unless you live in Rhode Island (they do things differently in Rhode Island. Once, I shot my neighbors cow, and he sued me-- I won on libel, don't ask why. Rhode Island is weird.) . A Parcel Law was recently passed there, so if you need Child Support, I suggest you go to a Family Court there.
