Launcelot Gobbo (a clown, first Shylock's servant and then Bassanio's) says this to Gobbo, his father in The Merchant of Venice (act 2 Scene 2). He has just encountered his father, who does not recognize him.

Alot to consider:Age of the child. Are you ready to pay child support, 1/2 of unpaid medical and other related expenses for the child. Is it in the best interest of the child at this time. What is your chief motivation for doing this. Answer these questions and write back.

Yes..unless court has said otherwise. In fact if you have been denying the father access then you could lose custody.


What do you do if you ex has has gone back to her babys daddy but you are still in love with her and you know shes not happy?

* Whether you approve of the father of your ex girlfriend's baby or not there is a bond between a man and woman (no matter what the age) after the birth of a child no matter what a jerk the father could be and it's generally the mother of the child that wants to keep the father of that child in the picture. Your girlfriend has made her decision and you have the option of waiting to see if she will come back to you or, you could do the smart thing and start going out with friends and dating again. Who knows, in time she may well come back to you.


Your child's father will not call to see him or come to any of his ball games his wife comes to the games and calls to get him does she have any rights to do this?

Your husband is the one at fault and not father material at all. It is not a matter of whether his wife has a right to go and see your child's games or goes and gets him, but you should be thankful she does as she is trying to make up for her husband's absence as she knows it must hurt the child with the father not there. Perhaps the two of you could go to the games together to see your child play. Don't blame the wife (be thankful) and blame your ex husband for being a lazy and unattached father figure.


Where did Shakespeare's works come from?

Shakespeare's pen.


Can a father make their child visit if they have something on like a friends party or school event just because its his week-end?

Yes, due to custody laws the father can insist the child come and visit, but, it is selfish of the father to insist when the child has an invitation to a party or school event. Instead of arguing it would be better to see if the father could come to see the child at least at the school event which makes him feel like he has an option.


How does a DNA test work to confirm the identity of someones father?

DNA paternity testing works by comparing the DNA of the mother and child. The traits not apparent in the mother's DNA have to come with the father. Then, the DNA of the alleged father and child are compared. If the father has the missing traits, he may be the father.

Who knows the second coming of Christ?

Although Jesus himself will come as judge, Jesus made it quite clear that he will come 'like a thief in the night'. In other words, he does not know himself, only God the Father knows. Despite what some sects will say about the end of the world being nigh, no one knows when the end will come. We can look for signs, but no one knows when it will actually be or in what form.
