my husband is not on the birth certificate of this child and was told for 9 years that the boy is not his.
now the mother is claiming maintenance and has told my hubby if he contacts her or her son she will get him done for harrasment?! also the csa say they wont do a dna test cos he forgot to tick the yes or no box on "is there a chance the child is yours" so they take it as a YES!!!

We live in Georgia with my husband's two children, they live with us basically full time even though it's stated as joint custody (ultimately we fully support them). Their bio mom lives in Florida (that's what court system we deal with when fighting her). My husband wants to refuse her visitation this summer (they're supposed to go down there by court order) but we're not going to send them down (we have good reasons)

So, IF he kept them and is just waiting for her to file so we can go back to court can they come and arrest him for contempt?? Or will we just have to wait for the suponea (spelling?) and then go to court on why we refused her visitation and broke court order?

I want to fight her on visitation I just don't want them to arrest him and haul him off to Florida. We've got a lawyer but he hasn't called back today and I'm impatient.

Does anyone have any idea what happens if you refuse a parent to see their kids?

Why is lethal injection considered a more humane way of executing someone than putting a bullet through their temple?

Do you believe cockfighting should be legal or illegal and why?
If you feel that it should be up to the person doing or not doing it instead of the governments then speak your mind also

That if gun laws were stricter it would've stopped Cho? No! It would've made it harder for him, and maybe it wouldn't have happened this soon, but it still would've happened! He still would've gotten the guns! Just because he bought them completely legally doesn't mean he would've had trouble getting them illegally. It's by making the gun laws easier, and making it easy for someone that's a good person to have a gun to defend themselves that you make people safer. Because someone that's gonna break the law, will break the law, whether the law helps them break the law in the first step of that or not.

I've been working for the same employer for almost ten years. Until last year, I always received excellent performance reviews? Since then my immediate supervisor has become increasingly more abusive towards me. Even though the customers I work with continue to be happy with my work, my supervisor continually criticizes my performance. When the problem first began, I contacted HR and they told me that I needed to stand up for myself. When the abuse became worse, I contacted them again, and they said that there was nothing they could do about it. Other employees have had the same problem with this supervisor. What should I do next?

A friend of mine has joined as principal in a yet to be launched school in India. One fine day, she was told by the schools' administrative director that no one will pick you up. same day he sent some of her things and pay cheque. she was associated with the school since last two months. can any organisation just throw out its employee without any reason. Its sheer exploitation. Is there any law to save teachers and other staff from such kind of behaviour. The schools are using many malpractices to exploit academic staff. Its sheer irony that the temple of education is using such tectics on the people who touch future. And we say that education empowers! does it really?
I want to know if teachers and other academic staff in a school is protected against such behavior under the law. i am based in ahmedabad, and keen to set up a free legal cell specially for teachers who are a exploited lot in the schools run by family trusts. Please help.

I am a legal permanent resident and I would like to become a US citizen. Actually, I would like to be a dual citizen, since you cannot renounce the nationality of the country where I used to live, and also because I don't want to renounce it.

The US State Department says that dual nationality is permitted and that "dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country."

On the other hand, I have to take the oath of allegiance, which says "I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen".

Aren't these two statements contradictory?
Wouldn't it be unethical to take the oath?

I would appreciate serious answers.

I'm currently off work on long term sick, and have just been signed off again for 2 weeks for stress and a recent bereavement. My current employers have had to postpone an investgatory meeting (involving HR and my Manager) regarding my work but now they are saying that they are going ahead with the meeting even though I'm still off sick. They have asked me to attend the meeting even though I have told them I'm not fit to. They have now asked me to provide either written documentation to answers they are asking for or for me to be included in a telephone conference on the day. What can I do about this as its really stressing me out? Also I really want to make a complaint regarding my Manager should i pursue this ahead now I know of this?

Recently walking into a local sports bar, I noted a challenged man with a cane inspecting a car parked in handicap w/o a tag. He began shouting "this ba$tard has no tag. A real handicap needs this spot!". I suggested he spit on the car to teach the rude person a lesson. However, the handicapped man stated he did not want to vandalize the car.

1 hour later I walked outside again and heard a hissing sound. I turn over and the handicapped man's cane is on the ground & he is letting the air out of the tires with a pen. He had no concern about people walking in or out seeing him. Furthermore, he did not stop at just one tire, he went on to deflate 3 of them. On the 3rd one, the pen snapped the stem of the tire causing the tire to deflate immediately.

Personally I agree with what he did (so did about 15 others giving him accolades) and told him that he was delivering 'citizens justice'.

My question - is this man within his handicapped rights to commit such an action?
