Why does it take a few hours before a person feels ill?
It takes a few hours before a person feels ill because the amount of bacteria in your body needs to increase. When there is a huge amount of bacteria in your body, you fall ill very quickly.
If you have just eaten something that is not good, there isn't a huge amount of bacteria in your body (the bacteria have not replicated), as they have just entered.
Importance of child welfare services to the childfamily and society?
There is a claim of benefit, but the problems it has created by increasing crime in our society due to fatherless family has been far more costly.
Single mothers and the baby boom
For some, the growth of single-mother families is a sign of female empowerment. If children without fathers fare worse than children in two-parent families, say defenders of single mothers, the answer is better pay for women and better social programs. Yet even in Sweden with its generous welfare state, a major 2003 study found that children raised in single-parent homes were at significantly higher risk for addictions and serious psychiatric problems.
Single mothers and the baby boom
By Cathy Young - Boston Globe
May 26, 2009
In the 90s, a California group called "100 Black Men" proposed an amendment to the Welfare rules that before approving an AFDC application, that the state first determine if there's a separate parent, or other relative, who can take custody of the children while the applying parent gets jobtraining and experience.
Viscosity of the semen does not prevent you from having a child. Its the swimmers that count. All males have one scrotum- if you have to ask that question, its obvious you are not ready to have children.
No, but it is not necessary for a parent to take such action either. All states honor child support orders, therefore a parent may file the action in their state of residency and the order will be valid and can be enforced in any other state. A parent who does not voluntarily adhere to a court order for child support is subject to legal remedies much the same as any debtor with the exception that normal due process of a lawsuit is not needed. The non-complying parent can be subjected to wage garnishment, bank account levy, seizure and sale of property and so forth. State exemptions for personal and real property are not applicable when the issue is child support or in some cases spousal maintenance (alimony). A parent who does not comply with such an order can also be held in contempt of a court and other penalties resulting in loss of property, fines and the possibility of a jail sentence.
Can a man give up his parental rights if the mother is opposed?
Yes. Any parent can file a TPR petition in the appropriate state court. Full termination of parental rights is generally allowed only to allow the child/children to be eligible for adoption. In other cases a TPR will be granted only if the judge believes it is in the best interest of the minor child/children. The act is not for the purpose of relieving a parent of their financial obligations nor their moral responsibility to their child/children.
Yes, the courts will take into consideration the person or persons who have dramatically helped the child even in a custody battle. If one parent is only babying the child and not getting help (special counseling and schools) and the other parent is, then usually the court will award the child to the parent willing to do the best for that child (but, the other parent may have visitation rights.) If the two parents haven't bothered to help the child and a grandparent, sibling of either parent may also get custody of the child. It's all up to the court system and they want what is best for the child.
To improve on the above answer, I just want you to be aware that the courts will be biased to a mother who keeps stressing how much she has done for the child. The more occupied you are with that, the more chances that they will TAKE AWAY your parental rights, due to being 'harmful' to your child! This is happening to mothers across the world where Autism is involved in the custody case. I wrote about this on my blog in the link I have attached below, and I urge you to read it carefully before asking the courts for anything for your child. You may be saying all the right things, but shooting yourself in the foot. Best of luck.
Can a parent be liable if their child is a ward of the state?
Liable for what? Which State? In Missouri you can be ordered to pay child support to the State if your child is a ward of the state.
How can you get child support from Canada living in the US?
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
If your in Ohio jailed for non payment of child support does arearrage keep building?

What rights does the non custodial parent have if they pay child support in Arkansas?
Only what is provided for by court order, if one exist. see links
If the father wants to be involved in the child's life, the mother cannot legally stop him on her own. Only a judge may determine if the father is unfit to be a parent, but even then the court may still order visitations. If you believe that the child is in immediate danger from the father, call the police.
No, but I sense disputed fact(s) here.
How many years can we legally go back to modify child support in TN?
Child support in Tennessee can be reviewed and modified up to the age of majority.
You would need to be in the same locale as the child to do any good.
If you were married to the mother at the time of the birth, you are legally the father. Perhaps a paternity test might clear things up, but you do need licensed legal advice.
AnswerThe laws vary in different jurisdictions. First, you should visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate to see if you can request a paternity test. You may be required to pay for the test. If the test results show that you are not the father you should petition for a termination of the child support order. If possible, you should consult with an attorney.
only if that child isn't dying on the spot no and usualy they can have a plan for poor people or they can work something out
The keywords here is "about to turn 18". You are not 18 yet so it is the parents who choose. If the non-custodial parent wants custody they have to go to court and ask for it. And being 17yo the judge will listen to your opinion but is not obligated to follow it. As soon as you are 18 you are as free as the bird.
Can you get child support if you are making money then he?
Yes; parents are jointly and severally liable for the support of their children.
An adopted child has not right to the biological parents belongings or anything from that family. They belong to the adoptive family and can only inherit them unless the biological parent put them in his will.
Absoutly not. You have to remember they are two completely different concepts and as such they cannot be combined for any reason.
NO!!! Never chase a man to be a father.
