My ex husband & I live about 3 1/2 to 4 hours away from each other. We have a son together & in the divorce decree it states that he gets the 1st, 3rd, & 5th weekends of the month for visitation. He hasn't come to see him since September. When we went before the judge on the day our divorce was finalized both of our lawyers asked us under oath if everything in the decree was in the best interest of our child & we both said yes. Is there anything I can do to make him start coming to see him when he is supposed to since he agreed to it? This is ridiculous that I have to be the only one raising our son. I know that he'll probably use some lame excuse that he's working or something. I'm just trying to figure out how to word it so that he might step up & start doing what's right. I called him a couple of weeks ago & he never called me back...and last night I texted him & asked him to please call or text me back so we can talk about our son & no response. I am fed up.

Suppose Congress (or all the state legislatures) were to enact a law similar to China's one child policy, that made it illegal for a woman to have more than one child. Please don't tell me why this won't happen, or whether it would be a good idea or not. My question is whether such a law would be constitutional. And if you say it would be unconstitutional, please cite the provision of the US Constitution that such a law would violate.

Someone earlier asked a question about employing "house staff"- people that care for the children, clean their home, and, do lawn care. I am amazed at how many people are outraged by this issue. I understand it if it was because they were employing the undocumented, but, calling her lazy because she elects to have someone else do these things? Is it because she is employing the undocumented, or, do you generally look down upon people that hire help?

If Hillary becomes president the situation in the middle east will only get worse. Why would the arabic countries, who dont give women any rights at all, listen to a woman president?

I'm sure he recognizes that the Constitution is more important than torturing "terrorists", right?

I'm currently in the Air Force, and would like to know something that I had been educated on previously but have forgotten specific UCMJ citations, etc:

After research I had become very sympathetic to the Burmese campaign for a recognized democracy. My question is whether I could on base or otherwise wear a Free Burma shirt w/o punitive repercussions? And if there are, which Article(s) address this for m y future reference?

Thanks

I went through when the light was yellow and then when I was nearly halfway through the intersection, the flash from the camera goes off. What do you think will happen?

she can't join the Army because she is a single mother but yet a man who has kids and isnt married CAN join the Army? What is the difference? I KNOW a guy in the army that has a son and isnt married to the mom--he isnt even WITH the mother of his son anymore and hasnt been since she was pregnant.

to that people that think that givin drivers liscenes to illegals is wrong and bad. in oregon and washington illegals are gettin drivers liscences; there have been no fruad claims against any illegal , the crime rate hasnt gone up, we rarely hear of an illegal killin somebody in a d.u.i charge, illegals are usually hsipanic; hispanics have no interest in caring out any terrorist attack, the people that hijacked the planes on 9/11 were u.s citizens, in oregon the leadin cause of fraud is from meth users that are 95% of the time u.s citizens . so why dont we stop thinking about the ILLEGALS that are 30,40,50, but think about the illegal that is 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20. does the 5 year old that is illegal now, we'll be in illegal in 10 years, that illegal 15yrd old wont be able to get his permit EVER, because HE may get a gun, HE may hijack some planes, HE will use it for crimminal activities. what do you say to that 5yrld if he was in front of you? what are your views?

Can panic attacks be considered a disability? The last few jobs that i have had, i was rushed to the hospital cause i thought i was having a heart attack. Turns out that it was panic attacks. The last one i had, i lost my job over. Since i worked at the same place as my father in law, the company told him to tell me that i was no longer needed. They fired me while i was in my hospital bed. I know there are laws against that. They didn't have the grapefruits to call me and tell me over the phone. Does anyone think i have a case?

The other day, my dad and I went into a restaurant/pub in the evening to have a meal. A 16ish year old waitress led us to some seats. After we ordered two beers, a woman came up and demanded ID from me, at which point we were told to leave. (I go to university, am 19 years old and look older. I have a beard. I have not been asked for ID for over 2 years and certainly never since I have been 18. It grinds my bones to be asked at a restaurant not a club/bar where alcohol is exclusively purchased.) The point is that it is legal to order a drink with a meal when a person is 16 and not 18. So they had no right to turn me down on the basis of not being 18. I was not looked at and judged on my age by anyone other than the 16 year old waitress. My dad and I walked out and had a meal elsewhere.

I am a very vindictive person and would like to hurt the restaurant/pub as much as I can. What can I do?

Democrats usually say latinos are black, and Republicans usually say latinos are white. I know there are a lot black people in Latin-America that speak Spanish, but I don't really think of them as hispanic, because their ancestors were originally from Africa. They were not from Spain.

Failed economic policy, failed diplomatic policy, needless wars, and lots of hyperbole. Please advise as to why any sane American would vote Republican based on the record, not, Limbaugh rhetoric...

I know about MPAA, and NATO, and those censoring associations, but those aren't law. They're voluntary. What law is there against someone opening a theater and playing home made pornographic material in it? What's to stop children from going in there? What are the laws, and where can they be found? Citations please. Thanks.
