My x-wife filed child support papers on me for my Oldest daughter (Age 17) a year ago. I've always paid her when I was working, but now I'm unemployed and have been for over 8 months. Now the DA has suspended my license!! My wife makes 3x's what I was making and only uses my money for the CASINO'S. My daughter and I are still close, but my X is bitter cause I have 2 other children with my present wife. Its hard enough with unemployment trying to help my wife cover rent and PARTIAL child care (I have no choice but to keep them with me 3 out 5 days of the week) They are 6 and 2 yrs old. I am in the process of going back to school, and need to work. As it is I already have money taken out for child support for a son I've NEVER seen! I love my children and got laid off (Co.Buy-out) 2 yrs ago and have been unable to get anything remotely CLOSE to what I was making before as a supervisor. I've taken little jobs since, but not enough to keep up. I need my license back. How do I get it back

My husband found out he had a 3 year old daughter in January of 2006. Since then he has paid support regularly up until January of this year. He was in between jobs and no support was taken out for a month and a half. Now, he is being taken to court for all the back support for all 3 years of the kids life for $10,000. Is he facing time or what should we expect?

Ok... so my friend is being convicted of child molesting. He was 17 when all this happened, he is 25 now. The girl would have been 7 at the time and he is being accused of putting his hand up her shirt and watching porn with her. He is going up for child molesting though. How much time do you think he will get for it???

I hear liberals say the ONLY reason the US went to war with Iraq was because Bush wanted to steal all their oil and keep it for himself. This is an interesting theory, but why is it that the same liberals that accuse our President of this offer zero facts to back it up? They will say "well, not I dont have any proof...but can you come up with a better explanation?" It is hard to argue with that type of reasoning. In fact, the only thing close to evidence the libs can provide is the "secret" meeting between oil executives and the Bush administration prior to the invasion and the fact that US soldiers protected the oil ministry. Apparently they can't imagine that this meeting was part of how to use Iraqi oil to benefit Iraq during reconstruction and oil was the most valuable asset Iraq had to rebuilt itself. So, if you have some evidence, why not put it forward? Lets see these totally unbias BBC stories and links to commondreams.org. I enjoy reading your insane talking points

His brother is a bit of a terd. He left the house to live with someone else, actually to live with his girlfriend and another older man. He has left on his own, not left by his mother. Although my boyfriend( his brother) was asked by his brother to take him to the place. Now he is accusing his mother and father ( they are divorced) of child abandonment. I doubt this is possible he has a record of being rude, disrespectful. I hope he will not get away with this. Let me know something! thanks~

This married girl fell for me and we had a relationship and had sex. People find out and now shes claiming I slandered her. Slander is saying false information but everything is true and hurting her character. I contacted the local authorities and they said its the truth and you didnt hurt her character, she hurt her own image the minute she slept with you so its her problem, no slander is involved. Can someone tell me how this is "slander" or are the cops right?

My daughter was born in 1995. I left her father when she was 8 months old and he terminated all paternal rights. I had my parents adopt her so she would have medical insurance and also to ensure I would not be harassed by her father. So legally, she is my sister. We live in Florida-if that makes a difference in any replies I may receive.

My daughter/'sister' and I lived at home with my parents from 1995-2006. I have ALWAYS worked. I claimed head of household and received the EIC from 1996-2006. My father never had a problem with this before. But now that he and my mother are splitting up and I have been helping her get her life together, he has threatened that he will report me to the IRS and I 'will owe tens of thousands of dollars to the IRS'. I guess he is doing this to hurt me or to make me back off helping my mom get away from him...
Do I have anything to worry about? Please help me. My mom is Asian and he makes threats all the time and we never know what to believe...

People on the political left have a certain set of opinions, just as people do in other parts of the ideological spectrum, is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred.

Particular issues can arouse passions here and there for anyone with any political views. But, for many on the left, indignation is not a sometime thing. It is a way of life.

How often have you seen conservatives or libertarians take to the streets, shouting angry slogans? How often have conservative students on campus shouted down a visiting speaker or rioted to prevent the visitor from speaking at all?

The source of the anger of liberals, "progressives" or radicals is by no means readily apparent. The targets of their anger have included people who are non-confrontational or even genial, such as Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

It is hard to think of a time when Karl Rove or Dick Cheney has even raised his voice but they are hated like the devil incarnate.

There doesn't even have to be any identifiable individual to arouse the ire of the left. "Tax cuts for the rich" is more than a political slogan. It is incitement to anger.

All sorts of people can have all sorts of beliefs about what tax rates are best from various points of view. But how can people work themselves into lather over the fact that some taxpayers are able to keep more of the money they earned, instead of turning it over to politicians to dispense in ways calculated to get themselves re-elected?

The angry left has no time to spend even considering the argument that what they call "tax cuts for the rich" are in fact tax cuts for the economy.

Nor is the idea new that tax cuts can sometimes spur economic growth, resulting in more jobs for workers and higher earnings for business, leading to more tax revenue for the government.

A highly regarded economist once observed that "taxation may be so high as to defeat its object," so that sometimes "a reduction of taxation will run a better chance, than an increase, of balancing the Budget."

Who said that? Milton Friedman? Arthur Laffer? No. It was said in 1933 by John Maynard Keynes, a liberal icon.

Lower tax rates have led to higher tax revenues many times, both before and since Keynes' statement -- the Kennedy tax cuts in the 1960s, the Reagan tax cuts in the 1980s, and the recent Bush tax cuts that have led to record high tax revenues this April.

Budget deficits have often resulted from runaway spending but seldom from reduced tax rates.

Those on the other side may have different arguments. However, the question here is not why the left has different arguments, but why there is such anger.

Often it is an exercise in futility even to seek to find a principle behind the anger. For example, the left's obsession with the high incomes of corporate executives never seems to extend to equally high -- or higher -- incomes of professional athletes, entertainers, or best-selling authors like Danielle Steel.

If the reason for the anger is a feeling that corporate CEOs are overpaid for their contributions, then there should be even more anger at people who get even more money for doing absolutely nothing, because they have inherited fortunes.

Yet how often has the left gotten worked up into high dudgeon over those who inherited the Rockefeller, Roosevelt or Kennedy fortunes? Even spoiled heirs like Paris Hilton don't really seem to set them off.

If it is hard to find a principle behind what angers the left, it is not equally hard to find an attitude.

Their greatest anger seems to be directed at people and things that thwart or undermine the social vision of the left, the political melodrama starring the left as saviors of the poor, the environment, and other busybody tasks that they have taken on.

It seems to be the threat to their egos that they hate. And nothing is more of a threat to their desire to run other people's lives than the free market and its defenders.

Okay. By now most of us has heard of the Presidential candidates in pursuit of 2008. By now we all know the heavyweights. Hillary, Barack, John Edwards, Guiliani, McCain, Romney. Now let's look at the scenarios. First of all, Edwards and Romney are running third fiddle. So they are out of the way. Next, McCain agrees so much on things with Bush such as Iraq and illegal immigration that conservatives may not look his way at all(take a look at the recent polls.) Obama has only been in Congress for two years without much of a record, which will hurt him. That leaves Clinton and Guiliani. Clinton will more than likely win the democratic nomination with not many problems. Guiliani will probably win the Republican nomination, although he's pro-choice. He seems the most electable in the GOP. Now, Clinton vs Guiliani. Guiliani will not go across well in the south because of his stand on abortion. Some Republicans may not even vote for that reason(they certainly won't vote for Clinton.)

They are masters at 'playing the system'. What more profitable excercise could there be from their point of view than getting their men into positions of power in the electoral office, and intimidating the rest of the staff with the fear of losing their jobs. If someone compained, so what, it the media refused to print it. What do others think?
