Child Custody
Custody is the charge and control of a child, including the right to make all major decisions such as education, religious upbringing, training, health and welfare. Custody usually refers to a combination of physical custody and legal custody.
Child support is a periodic payment made to a custodial parent from a non-custodial parent to help compensate a child's living expenses, i.e. food, clothes, etc., and any other related debts. When one parent is awarded sole custody, as in the event of a divorce, the non-custodial parent is required to fulfill his or her child support obligation by making set payments, whereas the custodial parent meets his or her support obligation through the custody itself. When parents are awarded joint custody in a divorce, however, the support obligation is shared and is based on a ratio of each parent's income and the amount of time the child spends with each parent.

Child Protective Services (CPS)
Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency that acts to ensure the safety of children and uphold child laws.

Unless a child is at risk of serious harm, CPS will work with a family and provide or arrange for social services to keep the child in the home. If the child must be temporarily removed for safety reasons, the primary goal is to return the child to the home and to his or her family, if at all possible. For more information on CPS or child laws, contact a Family Law attorney in your area today. Read More ... -
Child Support
Child support is a periodic payment made to a custodial parent from a non-custodial parent to help compensate for child's living expenses including food, clothes, medical care, and other needs of the child. When one parent is awarded sole or primary physical custody, the non-custodial parent is required to fulfill his or her child support obligation by making set payments, whereas the custodial parent meets his or her support obligation through the custody itself. The obligation to support minor children cannot be waived by either parent and is a right enjoyed by the child, not the parent.
The amount of child support is calculated according to a variety of factors set by state law including each parent’s income and assets, the standard of living enjoyed by the children prior to the divorce or separation, the parents’ current standard of living, the child’s various needs, and a consideration of the amount of time each parent spends with the child. While each state’s guidelines for determining child support may vary, the goal is generally to achieve an equitable distribution of the financial responsibility for raising children and to encourage parents to be actively involved in their upbringing.

Education law involves both federal and state regulation, though our school systems are primarily governed at the state level.
Under each state's constitution, our children are entitled to a free public education, including students with special needs. State and federal laws regulate the standards by which our children are the curriculum or programs offered in those schools. Often, issues arise when the teachings at a particular school are in conflict with a family's beliefs, particularly with regard to religious beliefs.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is an integral piece of the main federal law affecting kindergarten through high school education. Proposed by President Bush, the NCLB was signed into law on January 8th, 2002. NCLB is built on four principles: accountability for results, more choices for parents, greater local control and flexibility, and an emphasis on doing what works based on scientific research.
State and federal laws also govern teacher and staff rights in our public schools. The law provides a framework for hiring, disciplining, and firing teachers and other staff members and governs the contract bargaining process between the school districts and the staff.

When placed on the market by Bristol-Myers Squibb in 1999, Tequin® was promoted as a new and effective antibiotic for the treatment of lung, sinus and urinary tract infections as well as certain sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea.

In addition to increased risk factors involving tendon ruptures, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia, Tequin® has been linked to serious adverse side effect risks, which include severe and sometimes fatal allergic reactions, dangerous diarrhea, cardiovascular complications, and central nervous system side effects such as seizures and psychosis.

Veterans Law
VETERANS' LAW OVERVIEW Veterans' law deals with certain special rights that veterans are entitled to as a result of their service in the armed forces. The Executive Branch of the United States government created the Department of Veterans Affairs to administer and enforce these laws. Most of the laws that apply especially to veterans deal with retirement, disability, healthcare, vocational and educational services, and death benefits for dependents of veterans. Common issues that arise in the area of veterans' law include some of the following:
- Determining whether a veteran's injuries were sustained or aggravated as a result of military service.
- Determining whether a veteran is entitled to receive certain benefits.
- Determining the amount of benefits that a veteran is entitled to.
- Procedure for challenging the denial of a veteran's claim for benefits.
- Determining whether conduct by a veteran has resulted in a forfeiture of entitled benefits and services.
Veterans' law is a very specific and detailed area of the law, and more complex and difficult issues than those listed above are likely to arise. However, to offset this complexity the Department of Veterans Affairs makes itself very accessible to veterans, and makes information regarding important aspects of veterans' law easily attainable.
RELEVANT LAW
The majority of the rules and regulations addressing A law can be found in Title 38 of the United States Code. All of the laws under this title are administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, its officers and subsidiary departments. Due to the complex and specialized nature of veterans' law, attorneys who practice it must have their qualifications approved by the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Wills
While just about everyone should have a will, most of us don’t. A will is a written document that outlines how your property will be distributed upon your death, who will care for your children (if you have any), and can provide for any special instructions you’d like to make about your affairs. It is actually a fairly simple legal document in the grand spectrum of legal instruments. There are different types of wills, but most wills are referred to as "simple wills". State laws vary slightly regarding requirements for a valid will. While a will can usually be drawn up by an attorney for a reasonable fee, it is also possible to draw up your own will using standard forms. It is recommended, however, that you have an attorney review your will to determine it meets your desired objectives and any particular legal requirements in your state. Read More ... -
