What does NT Support Jdgt mean? Child Support?
I believe it stands for Notice of Support Judgement, but what does it mean? I found it on the county recorders site under under my name (reference name Department of Child Support Services) and listed me as the Grantor. A few months ago there was a huge mix up with my child support, which is always automatically taken out of my paycheck. I was told by the county DCSS that apparently there was a switch over of the systems between the county and the state so the county was showing my child support was up to date, but the state was showing that I was behind now. I went down to child support services dept and they told me that I was up to date and that they are notifying the state that I was not in arrears. FINALLY, after 3 months of letters from the state, and taking extra from my paychecks (to make up the mixup backpay) they cleared it up and refunded me the extra money they said i owed. But now, I noticed this on the county recorders and I have no idea if there's still something I need to clear up. I haven't received any letters, but I wasn't sure if there should be another entry showing some kind of "release" for this Judgement. I appreciate your help! Thanks!!!
How do I get a divorce in the fastest time in the state of TamilNadu, India?
Going to lawyer will cost you more , As per my personal experience the lawyers have their own ( some time secret) friendship with your opponent party lawyer too ,So at the first moment itself they will calculate how much they can get it from you by convince your wife for the alimony amount .So be careful when choosing a lawyer.And in your situation they will give the first suggestion to you file a case to “seek your wife to live with you” (if you are separated…..) then the case will start between you & your wife then it will come to end as you have to pay something to her and your both lawyers will get a lions share of the amount.The best way if possible is ask your wife for for marriage counseling with the help of any elder family members or any elder persons in your relation / family circle. During the counseling convince here either to live with you or accept for mutual separation,As you are already living separately more than 1 year you are very much eligible to apply for the mutual divorce.If you have any proof for she received the 50kUSD from you that will help you to avoid alimony.If she living with anyone( Illegal relationship with anyone once other then you) try to collect proof of it and you can claim your marriage is invalid based on the grounds of this proof( and also you can claim the 50KUSD back to you
Do working women get maintenance/alimony after a divorce in India?
Earlier working wives were not entitled to maintenance however, with passage of time and subsequent amendments in law, the right to maintenance has finally been provided to wives.Now, the right to maintenance has been mentioned under Section- 125 of the Criminal Procedure code. Even Section- 18 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act also entitles a wife to maintenance by her husband for lifetime i.e. she will be given maintenance until she dies or her husband dies.WHY MAINTENANCE TO WORKING WOMEN?The concept behind such recognition is that a wife is deprived of many comforts after she leaves the matrimonial home. Sometimes, she loses interest in life. The monetary comfort from her husband gives her some solace. She might be living in her parental house but even then she has to incur some expenses. She has to constantly look after the child by performing her duties day and night. She does not get that support which she would have got in case she had been residing in the matrimonial home. It is the duty of the husband to maintain his wife and it has to be put on a higher pedestal. Even if the wife is employed, she is entitled for the status and standard of living which she used to enjoy at her matrimonial home.RECENT UPDATE ON MAINTENANCEThe Supreme Court of India has held that a woman can claim maintenance even though she is earning. An estranged woman can claim maintenance from her husband in spite of her efforts to earn a monthly income if that is not enough for her maintenance. It also clarifies that the expression ‘Unable to maintain herself’ does not require a wife to be absolute destitute before she can apply for maintenance.It has been further clarified in a few more matters like, for husband, being jobless does not work as an excuse for not paying maintenance. Indian law also makes provision under Section 19 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 for claiming interim maintenance expenses for proceedings even during pendency of proceedings.Therefore, even working woman get maintenance after a divorce in India such that she lives just like how she used to live in her matrimonial house and to support her children. Thus, with the change in time, the law dealing with maintenance have also changed and thereby, working women are also entitled to receive maintenance even after divorce in India, depending upon her living conditions after the divorce.

When a Christ centered marriage places the man in the headship?
If you take the Bible literally as some claim to do, then a marriage between a man and a woman should be based on the man being the head and leader. This would mean that the woman would have to submit to his decisions. Of course as with lots of other scriptural topics, many "literalists" do not pay attention to the verses in the Bible which call for this sort of partnership in marriage. (But don't dare say they "pick and choose"!) The reality for those strong enough in faith to admit it is that we have evolved on many issues and we do not do precisely as the Bible commanded or suggested. Slavery is a prime example. Most people have also evolved in their concept of the way in which a marriage should work, although admittedly not as many men have evolved their beliefs on this as women. I would say that most people in America view marriage today as more of an equal partnership in which both parties have an equal say and both parties contribute to the child rearing efforts. In practice, it's not always equal, of course, but our concepts and thoughts on equality are moving in the right direction. I feel equality would make a marriage better, because both human beings were created by God and both should have equal say and give equally to the best of their abilities for the success of the overall partnership.
