How can the father win in court if his ex-girlfriend demands too much child support for their illegitimate child?
How much is too much. Most states have a formula where the income of the parent and the number of children to be supported are used in the calculation of child support. Hint: it doesn’t matter if the child is illegitimate or not. IT is a person who needs to be fed, clothed, housed and educated and that is the responsibility of both parents. If the mother has primary custody she is providing care of the child as well as part of the financial support. The father should not view it as a “win” the father should step up and provide for his child just as the mother should do so. The fact that the father and mother were not married is the fault of the mother and the father. That doesn’t affect the child’s needs for a warm coat on a cold day, food, a roof over the child’s head or an education. In addition the father should be part of the child’s life.You win by meeting your responsibilities not shirking them
What dowry should a 28-year-old north Indian Brahmin boy demand from the prospective bride in the same caste? What are the current dowry rates in the marriage market?
I don't know what dowry the boy should demand, but do I know what he will get from me personally.A slap.I wish I could slap that boy, but neither I know his identity or location.Everybody wrote a huge list of rational explanations. But the ironically, if the person had any rationality would they ask such a irrational question?I appreciate people for taking their time to explain the person who asked this question about the negative things regarding dowry.But everyday, there a thousand explanations being thrown at these dowry seekers by friends,family and even from people on TV.But I see the dowry culture not stopping. I'm ashamed to see people interested in dowry.I recently went to an engagement of a relative, a man who was well educated, (he had a PHD and was a professor in a US university) and this guy and his family threatened to cancel the wedding because they felt that the rate of dowry was ‘insulting’I wanted to slap that guy, but I couldn't due to obvious reasons.People like him exist in thousands. I just wonder whether they consider marriage as a bussiness deal.I don't care if it is against the law, but next time I see a dowry seeking idiot, I'm just gonna slap him.My advice to anyone reading this is, if you ever witness a dowry seeking guy. Pick up both your shoes with your two hands, and use one shoe on the dowry seeking guy, and the other on his parents. Slap both.Because law has failed to stop this nonsense, it's only slaps from logical people and social boycott that will stop this culture.
My 21 month old toddler is becoming demanding and uncooperative.?
You sound like you are doing everything right. It is just something that kids go through, and he will eventually get it. However, people only call this time the terrible two's, because they haven't experienced what they are like when they are three and four yet. lol.
Why do you think formula feeding became the norm?
I am not bashing formula feeding mommies, it's a personal choice and as long as your baby is healthy and happy that's all that really matters. But i was just wondering, i think it's because of the formula companies pushing it on people and because so many mothers work outside of the home now and it's just become so acceptable now, that it's expected. I don't hide the fact that i breastfeed, i am very open about it, when it's brought up at work. I had one lady look at me, why don't you go on WIC so you don't have to waste your time pumping? It's just funny, the way society view the two, why do you think that formula seems to be more accepted?

Closing Bank Account to eliminate any IRS issues?
My husband has had a joint checking bank account with his father for many years. This account doesn't get used much and we also have our own checking and savings account without his father's name on them, but the joint account also shows up on all the statements since the bank combine all the accounts. Today we received a demand IRS letter that his father owed some money from few years a go to IRS. On the letter it included My husband's name and his Dad but only his Dad's SSN, exactly as it appears on the bank account. Obviously IRS used the address on the bank statement to send the letter. My question is: 1. Should we withdraw what's in the joint account and close it to remove any association with his father since we have no clue what he's up to ? 2. Is closing the account at this time going to raise any issues with IRS ? 3. If IRS decides to freeze his dad's assets, are they also going to touch our other accounts since they are under the same bank profile but not associated to his Dad's SSN ? Any help is appreciated.
How do you deal with parents who demand to be paid back all the money that they have spent on you since birth?
You have my sympathy. My own parents definitely earned much more than average, yet did not do what is "normal" in the US, namely save up for their kids' college education. My mother came from a poor family, likely had a very wretched upbringing and was a very angry, resentful person. She told me "why should we pay for your education, no one paid for ours?". As it turned out, as a young teen, I received a fairly large insurance settlement from an awful accident which nearly killed me, and so was able to afford university tuition. The reaction of my mother was "Thank goodness you had all that money, how else could we have paid for your education?". I offered to lend my younger brother the money for his tuition, but he declined.Now she is in a nursing home, and probably won't be around much longer. I still love her, because she is my mother and yes she did look after us when we were young.My own son lives in western Europe, where tuition is not a big issue, and still has two years until university. I support him as best I can, because it is better to learn from others' mistakes than it is to pass them on down the line.
