Bankruptcy |
|
|
Bankruptcy is a legal
proceeding involving a person or business that is unable to repay their
outstanding debts. The bankruptcy process begins with a petition
filed by the debtor, which is most common, or on behalf of creditors,
which is less common. All of the debtor's assets are measured and
evaluated, and the assets may be used to repay a portion of outstanding
debt. |

Child
custody |
|
|
Legal custody of a child
means having the right and the obligation to make decisions about a
child's upbringing. A parent with legal custody can make decisions about
the child's schooling, religious upbringing and medical care, for
example. In many states, courts regularly award joint legal custody,
which means that the decision making is shared by both parents.
If you share joint legal
custody with the other parent and you exclude him or her from the
decision-making process, your ex can take you back to court and ask the
judge to enforce the custody agreement. You won't get fined or go to
jail, but it will probably be embarrassing and cause more friction
between the two of you -- which may harm the children. What's more, if
you're represented by an attorney, it's sure to be expensive.
If you believe the
circumstances between you and your child's other parent make it
impossible to share joint legal custody (the other parent won't
communicate with you about important matters or is abusive), you can go
to court and ask for sole legal custody. But, in many states, joint
legal custody is preferred, so you will have to convince a family court
judge that it is not in the best interests of your child.
Sole Custody
One parent can have
either sole legal custody or sole physical custody of a child. Courts
generally won't hesitate to award sole physical custody to one parent if
the other parent is deemed unfit -- for example, because of alcohol or
drug dependency or charges of child abuse or neglect.
However, in most states,
courts are moving away from awarding sole custody to one parent and
toward enlarging the role both parents play in their children's lives.
Even where courts do award sole physical custody, the parties often
still share joint legal custody, and the noncustodial parent enjoys a
generous visitation schedule. In these situations, the parents would
make joint decisions about the child's upbringing, but one parent would
be deemed the primary physical caretaker, while the other parent would
have visitation rights under a parenting agreement or schedule.
It goes without saying
that there may be animosity between you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse.
But it's best not to seek sole custody unless the other parent truly
causes direct harm to the children. Even then, courts may still allow
the other parent supervised visitation. |

Child
support |
|
|
Child support is money paid
by one parent to the other parent for the purpose of providing financial
support to a child or children. Most frequently, child support is paid
by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent, but this is not
always the case. Depending on where you live and the agreement you
reach, the child support you pay or receive and what expenses it should
cover will vary. |

Civil
rights |
|
|
Civil rights laws guarantee
rights for individuals to receive equal treatment and prohibits
discrimination in a number of settings, including education, employment,
housing, lending, voting, and more. Below is a list of federal civil
rights laws. (Note: Many states have civil rights laws of their own
which mirror those at the federal level, so your state may have its own
laws that are very similar to those identified below. In addition,
municipalities like cities and counties can enact ordinances and laws
related to civil rights.) |
