My question is regarding taxes and someone claiming a child that has NEVER lived with this person, on their taxes.
I have a friend who is just now starting to get a divorce from his wife. He went to file his taxes and someone, one of his wife's friends, claimed his child on her taxes. His wife never worked so she won't be filing for taxes and probably talked her friend into doing this for her, hoping to get some money out of it.
Isn't that illegal?? And what can this guy do because without the child credit he loses over $1000 of his return?!Is it illegal and what can the parent do?
Yes, that is illegal.
You're friend should report this lady to the IRS(or whatever tax collecting org).Is it illegal and what can the parent do?
He should go see the people at IRS and tell them his story. If he has proof that he supplied more than 1/2 the support for the child then no one else can claim them
If the child lived with him in 2007 for over half of the year, he should go ahead and claim the child on his return. He won't be able to efile - he'll have to mail it in. That will trigger an IRS investigation and the wife's friend will be busted for claiming the child illegally.
Yes, that's illegal, unless this other man paid for more than half of the child's expenses for the year, and the child lived with the man for more than half of the year.
He should talk to someone in his local IRS office. They will be able to tell him exactly what steps he needs to take.
You can also point him to the IRS website's page on how to report tax frauds
If your friend lived with the child for more than 6 months, then he should file and claim the child.
If your friend didn't live with the child for more than 6 months, then he has a BIG problem as he would need the mom to sign a form 8332 before he can claim the exemption and $1000 Child tax credit. If she signs, he claims by mailing in his return and the duplicate use of the child will be VERY OBVIOUS to the IRS.
If he needs that form and she won't sign, then all he can do is file the fraud form.
PS, the ';friend'; probably claimed the child was her nephew. The IRS routinely refuses to issue refunds based on ';nephew'; status until the purported custodial adult produces proof of legal relationship, residence and support.
It all depends. If his child lived with him for more than half the tax year, he can claim the child tax credit. If the child lived with an other person for more than half of the year, your friend can not claim it, but the person with whom the child lived can claim it. You might also check on www.irs.gov.
i would still file the child credit. Report the criminal, keep the money.
Just because they illegally claimed the child doesn't mean your friend can't.
He needs to file his return via paper (not via e-file) and claim his child. The IRS will subsequently ask both parties who claimed the child on their returns to verify their claims.
It is illegal if she didn't meet the tests for claiming the child... one of which is providing more than half the support, another being the relationship test.
this ';guy'; who will lose the child credit should file and claim the child... provided he meets the tests. IRS will deny it and then he can contact the IRS to get involved and get that child rustler.
yes its illegal. How did he find out, when he tried filing, and they told him? ...it happend to my aunt, and what happend here was they both filed the child as a dependent and then they investigated both claims.. im iffy on the details... he should find out from the irs themselves what to do in the situation.
No, it is not legal, but it sounds like you already knew that :)
What can he do? I don't know for sure. Call your local IRS building, I bet they will have an answer or two for you!!
Good luck!!!!

What is your biggest challenge as a parent?
And how do you try to overcome it?What is your biggest challenge as a parent?
Getting my message across to the Y!A community and furthering my career as a Y!A ';Top Contributor';. I am not there yet, but with practice I will get there for sure (I see you have a badge).
=)
My challenge: juggling my son, my career and trying to keep my sanity.
My plan: I try to take at least 1 hour per week and do something just for me. I also take full advantage of naps and have been known to take a bubble bath while he is napping :)What is your biggest challenge as a parent?
Watching them grow up. Knowing that you have a limited amount of time, or X more years to try to teach them everything that you feel is necessary to prepare them to be a good man or woman.
How I try to overcome it.... take every day for what it's worth, and try to remind myself that lessons intertwine ( I don't have to have a set lesson-plan everyday, even though I am tempted to).
My biggest challenge is not being too protective and giving them freedom as they get older. I tend to worry a lot and it's in my nature to be protective of them.
I overcome it by talking through it with them and because they know how I am they are good about calling to let me know things for example tonight my 15 yr old and 12 yr old walked down the street to the pizza place with their friend to get dinner by themselves. They brought their own money and walked back after. They called me when they were on their way home so I would know.
Luckily they are responsible kids because otherwise I'd be a nervous wreck every time they went anywhere. My husband helps too because he is not protective at all and so he will say things that help me relax about it.
Resisting the urge to be teacherly. I haven't taught in a number of years, and I thoroughly disagree with the way I was forced to teach, but it's so ingrained in my head that I have to remind myself of the reasons I left the classroom behind, and not treat my children like students.
I overcome it just by pushing the school thoughts away and doing things, rebellious things and unteacherly things, that my first-year-teacher-self would have strongly disapproved of. Even tiny rebellions, like not correcting that last sentence where I ended it with a preposition.
Definitely demands early in the morning - it's hard to wake up at 5, get stuff started at the restaurant, come back, and get two kids ready for school and to the bus stop, all the while trying to find Dinosaur, or a headband, or whatever else. AND Lauren won't eat school lunches and Josh is allergic to peanuts and dairy products so have to make two lunches.
I know that a lot of people are saying that patience is their biggest problem, but frankly it's my solution! It's the only way you can do anything in life; parent, work, even talk to people some days! lol. I have to remind myself that at that age they're truly unable to fully realize that I've got lots of things to do, and asking for more things isn't going to help that any!! (Just IMO, of course :))
Sorry it was so short. :\
Edit: Judo has a great answer. :)
Honestly my biggest challenge has been learning to be patient with my daughter and understand that she's just a kid. Sometimes it's easy to get frustrated and I've really had to learn to take a breath and say ';She's not doing this to make me mad. She's just a kid.';
Lots of deep breaths and walking away when I need to.
Getting up early with them pretty much kills me. They like to get up at about 5 am...while even my husband doesn't get up until 6 am for work. Once the baby is up, then my daughter automactically gets, she never fails, never misses a time when it's just him...and wants to start the day. I usually send her back to bed but she HAS to eat before she goes back to bed or she will have a breakdown. So by then i'm just fully awake and the baby is awake too.
They have so much more energy than i do.
My daughter is only 6 months old so I haven't ran into any major challenges so far but the one thing I think will be a challenge for me as she gets older is being open minded to her opinions/views/lifestyle/etc. I want to be able to accept her and love her for no matter what she decides in her life and her to be able to tell me those decisions she has made.
Keeping her engaged in life, setting a good example, accepting that she is growing, and keeping my patience.
I guess that is more than one challenge.
I don't know how I overcome it. But she still loves me, so I guess I'm doing something right.
challenge?? a child is very beneficial, quit your job now live off the child
YAAAAAAY slaves
lol 3 thumbs down
Being stuck at home. I hate cleaning and cooking and I hate diapers. But I do it and I get through it.
Patience. There is no written book that actually has worked 100% when practicing it's teachings !
Time management. It's constantly a challenge but I manage, not sure how though.
Energy! They have TONS more than I.
I drink a lot of tea, and some energy drinks and take a daily nap!
getting everything organised in time and running all day by myself
Patience with the kids, especially when they argue with each other.
mornings
coffee
My lack of patience. I pray a lot asking for more patience and understanding.

How do the doctors detect that a parent is a carrier of down syndrome? Or can they even do that?
I need to know how they find out if a parent is a carrier. Meaning that the parent has a risk of passing it on to the child. PLEASE HELPHow do the doctors detect that a parent is a carrier of down syndrome? Or can they even do that?
Yes they can diagnose that they have tests and even with simple ultrasound they can tell by the mesurements of the neck, go to your doctor and ask questions they have tests to do that! You can't tell if your a carrier I don't think, it usually connected with siblings/too close in gene have children and I think age is a factor but I'm not sure of that but you can ask those questions at your doctor they should know and be updated with todays technology!
You can't worry about these things either, if your ready to become a parent these are risks we take and we live with our decisions and love all children no matter what! I know kids with downs and they live active normal lives they are spirited children and loveable, dont' worry about what ifs and think more about positive things or you just not ready for kids yet!
CherHow do the doctors detect that a parent is a carrier of down syndrome? Or can they even do that?
Down's syndrome is not an inherited disease, so you can in no way tell from the parents.
The disease is the result of having extra chromosomes, ie. that too much genetic material has been put in the cell that makes the child.

A teacher promised you extra credit if you come early and help him or her set up a presentation for class.

washing dishes
sweeping floors
washing car/s
cleaning bedroom

Can I legally emancipate myself from one parent to avoid having anything to do with him?
I live in the UK, can I emancipate my father and still have my mum on by birth certificate?Can I legally emancipate myself from one parent to avoid having anything to do with him?
I am not sure the legalities. But I would advise you not to do anything out of spite. You can distance yourself without having to do it on paper. It sounds like you are wanting your father to know how much he has hurt you by having a judge tell him he is not your father anymore. This isn't going to help you in the long run. The best thing you can do is try to forgive and move on. Holding on to all these angry emotions is like taking poison and hoping someone else will die. I really hope you can begin to heal and I hope you find peace.Can I legally emancipate myself from one parent to avoid having anything to do with him?
no
your father is your father and what you want is irrelevant as far as your birth certificate goes, its record of who was your father not who you want as your father
no emancipation is an american concept
you avoid having anything to do with him by avoiding having anything to do with HIM you don't need the courts backing
Emancipation does not remove anyone from your birth certificate.
I do not think you can have your fathers name taken of your birth certificate but you can ';divorce'; yourself from parents.

my father claimed me on the tax return. will he get the 300 from the government or will i?Will i get a rebate check from the government if i was claimed by a parent but i am 19 years old?
Neither of you will get $300. You will not get it because you were claimed by your father. Your father will not get it because you are over 17. Sorry :-(Will i get a rebate check from the government if i was claimed by a parent but i am 19 years old?
No, neither of you will get anything. You're not eligible as a dependent, and you're too old for the $300 kicker for your father; that goes away for any dependents who are age 17 or older on Dec 31, 2007.
You won't get the $300 because you were a dependent.
Your dad won't get the $300 because you are too old.
However, your dad did get a tax benefit already for just claiming you.
You get ZERO...You only get the money if YOU filed a tax return for 2007. Why would you get anything???
The parent will get the $300.Most everyone who fill out a 2007 tax return is eligible for at leat $300 if single.
. I claimed my 18 year old son on my taxes. I didn't get anything for him, but i got $300 for myself. You won't get anything though because someone claimed you as a dependent

What do you do when you are trying to obtain child support from a co-parent who claims to have no income?
I'm having a difficult time do so. The other parent does have a source of income and does work.What do you do when you are trying to obtain child support from a co-parent who claims to have no income?
Take it to court so it is documented and court ordered. This will ensure the parent will have to pay eventually and will ensure that any money he or she gets will go to you or your child, like tax refunds or lottery winnings. Just don't give up. My mom is now getting child support that was owed to her when we were young. We're now in our 30's and she uses the money as she wishes so by no means give up.What do you do when you are trying to obtain child support from a co-parent who claims to have no income?
Each parent has an obligation to contribute to the support of their child. Some states will impute income to a person they feel y is voluntarily under employed, unemployed or not at their earning capacity. Most judges have seen every trick in the book and are wise to the person who says they have “no income”. Hire an attorney.
He may work, but you need to have proof that after he pays his rent and other bills he has enough left over to pay child support. He may be living paycheck to paycheck, in which case you can't squeeze blood from a stone. I don't think a judge is going to make your ex pay child support if the result is he winds up homeless.
Luckily you'll likely be awarded child support based on what he'd likely earn while working, which is scheduled by age.
I'm sure the judge would love to hear about how you know that he's working, then you'll definitely get it.
Do you already have a judgment for child support? If not hire a lawyer and get one. If so, hire a lawyer to file a motion to hold the obligor in contempt.
who ever is issuing the support order will probably impute wages for the non working parent
Prove that he does have a source of income. If he has an employer, get a statement from the employer.
Tabitha.... Have his license revoked for non child support! or put a lien on everything he has or owns. Good Luck Steve
get proof they work then

What are some bad things about a parent sitting in the class with their bad child?
I am doing an essay on the bad thing a about a defiant child parent coming to sit with them.What are some bad things about a parent sitting in the class with their bad child?
Sometimes having a parent sit in on his/her defiant child's class can be a solid, effective classroom management strategy. Perhaps the kid won't like it (the kid will say it's embarrassing, etc.), but... too bad! The kid shouldn't have been behaving badly enough to necessitate it in the first place-- since this is usually considered a last-resort strategy.What are some bad things about a parent sitting in the class with their bad child?
It Would Be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO鈥?Embarrassing

What are 3 way main reason why a parent should be involved in their kids education?
1. a child may have a learning disability that might be overlooked if the parent is not fully involved?
2. if that parent does that show the child they are interested in the child's school work the child may then start to believe that school in general is not important.
what would be a 3rd reason?What are 3 way main reason why a parent should be involved in their kids education?
Well...
- It sets a kid on the right track. If they start out with a good marks as a goal, they will most likely continue having this goal. (I am such a case)
- The parent can ensure that whatever the child is learning is appropriate.
- (Kinda goes along with the previous point) The parent will know the child's potential and if he/she knows it well enough, he/she will know whether or not the child can skip a certain level. (How I wish my parents had done that in 6th grade!!! %26gt;.%26lt;)What are 3 way main reason why a parent should be involved in their kids education?
I have reasons why they shouldn't.
1. The child might feel babied by their parents
2. The child might feel pressured to do better than they can, and when they don't do good, they feel bad and sometimes give up on it, thinking it impossible
3. The child might feel embarrassed if their parents are always showing up for meetings and such
4. The child may feel as if their parents aren't giving them privacy. Think about it. At school, I'm sure you did some things you didn't want your parents knowing
3) The child might feel pressurd because they feel the parent does not care, and therefore let go in school, not try, not get into college, and live a bad life.
3) The child will feel sad when their friends talk about how their parents ';help them with homework'; and feel jealous.
3) They will learn to hate school.
3.) Parent's persuade their kids to do well in school to go to college and get a good job. It also helps to look at their grades and encourage them if they need help in something. XD
So they can graduation and do something good in life.

How does this type of attitude from a parent to child make you feel?
The child says something about MY clothes, MY toys., etc.--to which the parent responds ';they are really MY clothes, I bought them';. Shouldn't a parent provide for a childs needs unconditionally, without a resentful attitude?How does this type of attitude from a parent to child make you feel?
I have heard parents say that before, and I do hate that, they were gifts to their child. I am a parent myself and will never say that to my child.How does this type of attitude from a parent to child make you feel?
yes and no
if they're over like, 12, they should get an allowance baced on chores and have to buy SOME of their clothes
but basics, underpants, jeans, coats, ect. should be purchaced with out resentment
and that kind of statement is just cruel and mean. Mine does that to my six year old brother when he starts bratting. it's not fair, but you can't do anything about it
Oh wow, I hate that too. I have 2 teens and have never said that to them.
Granted, I buy necessities but they have to buy their own extras. My daughter wanted 2 hoodies for school, I think she only needed 1. So I bought 1, she bought the other.
What I don't get is how they, my kids, can think they can get away with saying ';we get paid on Thursday';. Last time I looked it was Father's name on the paycheque.
I agree...you buy them these things for them. Why make them feel bad that they have them. Parents like that shouldn't bother buying them kids anything if they are just going to hold it over their heads later on. Then again...I can understand if the kid is being a total spoiled brat...then go ahead and let him know that you bought him all that stuff and he should be grateful for it
I agree, if you buy clothes or toys for a child, they're theirs. It was family money you used, and a child is part of the family. I don't like that either, or when a child says ';my mums house'; or something like that-isn't it their house too?
You're right. That parent is antagonizing the child, reinforcing selfish behavior. The parent shouldn't buy those things if it isn't to meet the children's needs. It encourages the child to not share.
I hate when adults act like that, once i get something for my sons its their property. All I ask is that they share with each other. An adult that says that is just being immature!
It seems childish of the parent, like some kind of power trip.
had 7 kids myself and only ever said it if they were over 16 and bieng a royal pain, but that dosnt make it right.
yeah my mom does that too...why do theyy idk

How old were you when you became a parent?
Would you have waited longer, had it sooner or was it the perfect time?How old were you when you became a parent?
Almost 23...I had Ty at the perfect time, had a nice home and a College Degree, I was established financially and emotionally.How old were you when you became a parent?
I'm an 18 year old Mommy to my 2 month old son, Quentin. Most women my age tend to wait longer before having their first child, but this was the perfect time for me. My pregnancy was not planned, but my son was wanted very much and by having him at my age, I am able to interact with him more than women who are having their first child in their 30's. As he grows up I will also be able to relate to him more and understand him better because not there is not as big of an age difference between the two of us.
23. It was perfect for us (= My husband and I got married at 18 when we were still in school together (which I don't recommend to anyone else, but worked well for us, foolhardy as it was when we were teens, LOL) so we did have 6 (5 married, 1 dating) years just to ourselves before having children. That was really valuable, I think. We needed to know each other and see each other through changes, hardship and everything else in life and realise that we still loved each other through it, before it was a good time to have children together. Some people who have kids so early in their marriage or relationship, I think just don't realise how much it tests that relationship, and don't have as solid of a foundation to begin with than if they'd gotten to know each other and pushed limits before having kids. I'm really glad we did wait, that we did go through trials together and got to truly know each other before being parents.
We were both finished university, had a flat in a secure place and secure income, and had most of the crazies out of our system. Will was planned and he was the best thing that ever happened to us at the time (= In fact, parenting suited us so well that we now have a large family, and our kids are the light of our lives.
I was pregnant at 14 and had my daughter a month after my 15th birthday. Yes I would have waited longer, I would have liked to have been in a relationship and atleast in my mid 20's but I was blessed with my angel at 14 and I decided to keep her, being raped at such a young age for me was very difficult but I got the best gift ever. My daughter.
I was a few days short of turning 20 when I gave birth.
Your latter is a trickier question. Because if I could rewind time and change things, would I? No. But do I think the age of 20 was the ideal time in my life to have a child? No. My pregnancy was accidental, and I would never have chosen to have a child that early and in those circumstances (single, just on way to university, etc.). Thing is I was on a really bad road before I fell pregnant, I took drugs, partied all the time, dropped out of everything I did. I was enrolled to start uni later that year but I have no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have lasted, I was too immature and irresponsible. So in that sense, the timing was perfect, having my son may even have saved my life considering I was depressed, suicidal and regularly taking dangerously high doses of cocaine and ecstasy. I grew up virtually overnight and now I can't believe that I'm the same person as who I was back then (and my son is only 18 months old now). AND I have coped with parenthood just fine so far, I'm not struggling, and I am happy. But am I as comfortable as I would be if I'd had him ten years down the line with a husband and a mortgage? Of course not. I'm living with my dad currently, but will be moving out soon, and when I do move we're going to be in a pokey little place until I've finished my degree (which I'm studying from home). And that's far from ideal. But my son has a lot of 'stuff', he has plenty of toys (all bought by me), plenty of clothes (all bought by me), a nice pushchair, cot and so on (all bought by me), food in the cupboard (bought by me), and a very healthy savings account (being built up by me). It's really me that lacks the luxuries, but that I can cope with. So having him when I did wasn't the end of the world, I suppose, he my financial situation doesn't rub off on him and that's the main thing, I am a good mother to him despite my lack of maturity that older parents would possess, the only real thing that he has lost out on is a father figure, because his didn't stick around. But that could have happened at any time, I suppose. But given the choice, before getting pregnant, ';Have a baby now, or in ten years?'; - I would have picked the latter. But as I said, I would not change things now for all the money in the world.
(Woah I did NOT realise how much I'd written until I posted it! Sorry about that! I do tend to ramble!)
34. Ideally, i would have loved to have started sooner, but it wasn't meant to be. 6 years ago, i'd only just met my husband, and we wanted to be alone together for a while before starting a family. Then i suffered 2 miscarriages with him, and needed time to heal before plucking up the courage to try again. I do wish i hadn't needed so much time though, as i feel i've deprived my hubby and i of so much joy..
I am twenty nine, and had my first child at sixteen. I am very happy i had my, now thirteen years old, daughter. She is beautiful. But if i could change anything, which i can't, then i would've waited till i was older. I got drunk, and didn't take my pill, and there you go.
Second child, was planned. I was twenty one, perfect timing. I'd got married a year before that. It brought me and my husband.. very much ';closer'; :)
Third child, accident, but i wasn't upset. She's on her way now, and i'm seven months! Perfect timing. Came off pill because i had to get off every pill for a certain dental medication i was given, and ta da, i fell pregnant. No regrets, though.
I was 24 when I had my first child and for me it was perfect. I had a lot of experience with children before I got married (I have 9 nieces/nephews), my husband is a bit older then me so he didn't want to wait too long, but I wouldn't change it for anything!! I love being young enough to run around with him and now that we have our second child I feel that I am able to give them more of me then what I could if I was older
ill be 20 when i have my baby boy. i wish i would have been more careful because i wanted to be done with college and have a career and a beautiful house and i wish i would have been marry first but i am happy and i do plan on staying in school and me and my fiancee are gonna be getting marry next July. our baby would be around 10 months and we do plan on getting a house but that wont happen for another couple of years.
i am 20, and will turn 21 2 months after my baby is due. i think it is the perfect age for me to have a baby. i wont miss going out for drinks, going out with mates etc.. because its something that i have never done really. i have been with my fiance for 3 years, and have become the mature 'house wife' so to speak, whilst all my friends continued their 'partying days'. i would prefer my life over theirs anyday and cannot wait to be a family.
I got pregnant at 18 and would have had her after my 19th birthday but she was born premature and came 1 week before my 19th birthday.
I never partied or anything like that so I didn't really have ';to give up'; anything. I still get to do the same things I love doing before I was pregnant with her.
I probably would have wanted to wait a few years though but I'm not regretting her, she's the best thing that has happened to me, that and her wonderful daddy(my fiance).
I'll be 20. I would have waited longer. I wanted to buy a house first, have the money to go insane on a nursery, be finished school and start my career.
But, I'm happy right now. We live in an apartment and I'll be going back to school in January to work towards my BN. It'll be hard, but 4-5 years isn't that long if you think of the possibilities ahead. :)
i was 20, got pregnant at 19 she was planned and i was even told i couldnt have kids but i was very forunate to get pregnant naturally. it was the perfect timing for us we were both ready and i dont regret a thing about it, my daughter is almost 6 months now and i wouldnt change her for the world.
i had just turned 18 when i got pregnant and had him 2 months before i turned 19...at times (when my friends were partying) i did wish i would have waited but i am very happy that i didnt. he is 7 now and is a big help with his little brother. i dont like that there is such a big gap between them but hey i love them none the less!
i fell pregnant at 16.. had my son at 17.. i was very young and didnt knw what i was letting myself in for. however, i would not wish my life to be any different.
Dont get me wrong there are times i think mmm if things where different i could be at or finished uni by now.. but when i found out i was pregnant i put my life on hold... and worked in order to provde for my son.
my son will start primary school in august, i will work for another 1-2 yrs and then consider going back into education
My first daughter was born when I was 28 my second when I was 31 perfect for me because I was a partier before and wanted to live it up and be irresponsible in my twenties.I gave my self time to grow up a bit and settle down with a man i knew was gonna stick around and be a good father.
i was 18 sometimes i wish i waited. u know wait until i had a job choice so i wouldn't b struggling so much. im sceard to even buy him socks im afraid i wont have money for food and what not. (unlike most teen parents i didn't have my mommy or daddy help me) but my son is amazing he can always make me happy and i am very proud of him even tho he hasn't even done anything yet lol
I just became a parent one month ago exactly and I am 25 years old, will be 26 in August.
I think that this was the perfect time in my life, everything else may not be perfect timing but my son being here has definitely been a blessing so far.
I was 24 when I had my first child and 28 when I had my second child. I think it was the perfect time for me as I don't think I could have coped much younger. Having a child made me really grow up.
In relation to my children (aged 14 and 10), I'm not an ';old'; mum, yet I'm not a ';young'; mum.
i was 15 when i fell pregers but 16 when i had my first son but i was raped but i wouldnt change him for the world i love him to bit as all my kids i would of waited till i was older but never turned out that way n now im the proud mum of five love them all to bits
i was 22 and it was a total surprise but i wouldnt change it for the world, cause now im to old and wouldnt be able to keep up. i think the perfect ages to get pregnant are between 22 and 30, before that your to young and after that your to old.
hello
im 21 on thursday and i am 23 weeks with my first!!
i always wanted to be a young mum so that i could do what i wanted when baby had grown up i wanted to be in my 40s!!
im pleased with my choice and wouldbnt change a thing!!!
i was 18 when i got pregnant with my son and 19 when i had him. i sometimes wish i would have waited until i was a little older but then i look at him and my daughter and know why i did it and i wouldn't change it for the world.
got preg 17 had her at 18.. i don't regret it at all but i should have waited.. you miss out on a lot of things that i will never be able to do. but shes the best thing that ever happened to me and i wouldnt change it.
im not a mum yet but im due on new years day and im 20. i turn 21 in january. i dont think i could had done it at a younger age but i think that my timing is perfect. i know i am ready now :) x
25. We were going to start trying at the end of the year but our little man decided he wanted tp surprise us early. No time it the ';perfect'; time to have a child.
I became pregnant at 19. I got married in 01/08 and became pregnant in 05/08! She was planned! =] She is the best thing that has ever happened to my husband and I! We couldn't be happier!
I was 30, it was two years after we were married. It was the perfect time because I got two degrees, was out in the workforce, and met The Man when I was 26 - so glad I waited for him!
i fell pregnant at 17 but had my lil girl 3.48am day after my 18th birthday i wouldnt change anything im so happy with my life and i can watch my lil girl grow up while being young enough to run around with her and after her
I was 28 - I couldn't have coped at an ealier age and glad I wasn't too much older because I still have energy for my son, so guess it was a ';perfect'; age for me :)
I was 27 when I got pregnant. It was a good time for me because it was important for me to wait until I was married. I got married when I was 26.
Almost 23...I had Ty at the perfect time, had a nice home and a College Degree, I was established financially and emotionally.How old were you when you became a parent?

I never partied or anything like that so I didn't really have ';to give up'; anything. I still get to do the same things I love doing before I was pregnant with her.
I probably would have wanted to wait a few years though but I'm not regretting her, she's the best thing that has happened to me, that and her wonderful daddy(my fiance).
I'll be 20. I would have waited longer. I wanted to buy a house first, have the money to go insane on a nursery, be finished school and start my career.
But, I'm happy right now. We live in an apartment and I'll be going back to school in January to work towards my BN. It'll be hard, but 4-5 years isn't that long if you think of the possibilities ahead. :)
i was 20, got pregnant at 19 she was planned and i was even told i couldnt have kids but i was very forunate to get pregnant naturally. it was the perfect timing for us we were both ready and i dont regret a thing about it, my daughter is almost 6 months now and i wouldnt change her for the world.
i had just turned 18 when i got pregnant and had him 2 months before i turned 19...at times (when my friends were partying) i did wish i would have waited but i am very happy that i didnt. he is 7 now and is a big help with his little brother. i dont like that there is such a big gap between them but hey i love them none the less!
i fell pregnant at 16.. had my son at 17.. i was very young and didnt knw what i was letting myself in for. however, i would not wish my life to be any different.
Dont get me wrong there are times i think mmm if things where different i could be at or finished uni by now.. but when i found out i was pregnant i put my life on hold... and worked in order to provde for my son.
my son will start primary school in august, i will work for another 1-2 yrs and then consider going back into education
My first daughter was born when I was 28 my second when I was 31 perfect for me because I was a partier before and wanted to live it up and be irresponsible in my twenties.I gave my self time to grow up a bit and settle down with a man i knew was gonna stick around and be a good father.
i was 18 sometimes i wish i waited. u know wait until i had a job choice so i wouldn't b struggling so much. im sceard to even buy him socks im afraid i wont have money for food and what not. (unlike most teen parents i didn't have my mommy or daddy help me) but my son is amazing he can always make me happy and i am very proud of him even tho he hasn't even done anything yet lol
I just became a parent one month ago exactly and I am 25 years old, will be 26 in August.
I think that this was the perfect time in my life, everything else may not be perfect timing but my son being here has definitely been a blessing so far.
I was 24 when I had my first child and 28 when I had my second child. I think it was the perfect time for me as I don't think I could have coped much younger. Having a child made me really grow up.
In relation to my children (aged 14 and 10), I'm not an ';old'; mum, yet I'm not a ';young'; mum.
i was 15 when i fell pregers but 16 when i had my first son but i was raped but i wouldnt change him for the world i love him to bit as all my kids i would of waited till i was older but never turned out that way n now im the proud mum of five love them all to bits
i was 22 and it was a total surprise but i wouldnt change it for the world, cause now im to old and wouldnt be able to keep up. i think the perfect ages to get pregnant are between 22 and 30, before that your to young and after that your to old.
hello
im 21 on thursday and i am 23 weeks with my first!!
i always wanted to be a young mum so that i could do what i wanted when baby had grown up i wanted to be in my 40s!!
im pleased with my choice and wouldbnt change a thing!!!
i was 18 when i got pregnant with my son and 19 when i had him. i sometimes wish i would have waited until i was a little older but then i look at him and my daughter and know why i did it and i wouldn't change it for the world.
got preg 17 had her at 18.. i don't regret it at all but i should have waited.. you miss out on a lot of things that i will never be able to do. but shes the best thing that ever happened to me and i wouldnt change it.
im not a mum yet but im due on new years day and im 20. i turn 21 in january. i dont think i could had done it at a younger age but i think that my timing is perfect. i know i am ready now :) x
25. We were going to start trying at the end of the year but our little man decided he wanted tp surprise us early. No time it the ';perfect'; time to have a child.
I became pregnant at 19. I got married in 01/08 and became pregnant in 05/08! She was planned! =] She is the best thing that has ever happened to my husband and I! We couldn't be happier!
I was 30, it was two years after we were married. It was the perfect time because I got two degrees, was out in the workforce, and met The Man when I was 26 - so glad I waited for him!
i fell pregnant at 17 but had my lil girl 3.48am day after my 18th birthday i wouldnt change anything im so happy with my life and i can watch my lil girl grow up while being young enough to run around with her and after her
I was 28 - I couldn't have coped at an ealier age and glad I wasn't too much older because I still have energy for my son, so guess it was a ';perfect'; age for me :)
I was 27 when I got pregnant. It was a good time for me because it was important for me to wait until I was married. I got married when I was 26.
If your age 16 and a female at 5ft 3in with one short nd 1 tall parent is it possible to grow taller?
Lets say the mother is 4ft 11in tall and father is 6ft 4in what height will the child be? At age 16 she is only 5ft 3in? is it possible to reach 5ft 7in? Is there any excersie or eating habits that could help her grow taller?If your age 16 and a female at 5ft 3in with one short nd 1 tall parent is it possible to grow taller?
I am a 5'5'; female and grew two inches in height after I went to college. This was unusual, but it is possible.
Females generally reach their full height by 18, males by 20.If your age 16 and a female at 5ft 3in with one short nd 1 tall parent is it possible to grow taller?
It's possible but at 16, you are probably not going to get much taller.
Nope...you are stuck @ 5'3 sweetie.
Yes there are pilates and stretching exercises that will support your growth, but this will not be a permanent result. Particularly , I suggest you Super-Growth to boost your natural growth and It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job of thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping posture is very important for your body to grow. Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli.
During deep sleep, growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland is released into your blood stream and travel through your body and causes the thickening and lengthening of your bones. Therefore, you should achieve ';deep level'; sleep on a daily basis in order to coordinate your affords of exercises and proper diet. The following are some helpful tips on how to easily achieve deep level sleep.
Sleep in a comfortable and firm mattress.
Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and fresh smelling.
Sleep with clean, soft, and comfortable clothes.
Keep your hands and feet warm. Scientific studies have shown that warm hands and feet will help induce REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep. Cold hands and feet will keep you from deep sleep.
Drink a big glass of water before going to bed and when you wake up; this will help clean out your system.
Practice total relaxation and deep breathing for a few minutes before you go to bed.
Relax from head to toe. Close your eyes and relax every part of your body.
Maintain a habit of sleeping at the same time everyday, including weekends.
Sleep on your back with a flat pillow under your knees. This will align your spine properly and prevent any back aches caused by sleeping in a bent position.
Undoubtedly, the quality, quantity, and type of food we eat affect our height, growth, and health. We cannot emphasize enough how important your food intake is in determining how much growth you can possibly obtain. The types of food you eat will either improve or decrease your growth potential.
After careful consideration and research, the daily content of protein, carbohydrates, fats and water can be achieved if the following items were taken regularly. Please take note that this is a guideline and you are free to your own thoughts.
Carrots Fish Liver
Egg Yolk Beef Red Meat
Milk Cheese Apples
Green Vegetables Potatoes Nuts
Yellow Vegetables Almonds Bananas
Peanuts Chicken Beans
Peas Salt 6-8 glasses of water per day
If you eat a lot of peanut butter, your height will not necessarily stop. Neither does masturbation stop height.
What might stop you from growing is smoking, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, digestive problems, or lack of exercise.

Do parent mice know how to care for their babies?
My mice have just had babies and the adults are fighting lots so I was wondering if they know how to look after them.Do parent mice know how to care for their babies?
I'm sure they do know how to take care of them. You can try taking out the dad. That might help. And you should out like a towel or something over their cage and not be in the room they are in all lot, cause the moms will eat them if they think they are in any danger. So you want to keep them in a quiet room.Do parent mice know how to care for their babies?
well, idk about mice but like rats and hamsters eat their babies after a while. just keep a good look at the babies a lot!
good luck%26lt;3
I dunno about the mothers eating the babies, but the daddy will, buy another cage to put him in...all 5 of my surprise grandchildren were vampired or eaten, and i saw the little pest bite little Nick's neck.
Take the male out, but the mother can care for the babies just fine.

How does one go about locating a deceased parent's will?
My parent left a will that was made before passing. I cannot locate the will because I lost in moving from one location to another. I need it like 6 months ago for probate court.How does one go about locating a deceased parent's will?
If it exists, it would be in their personal papers, a sfe deposit box or possibly left with a lawyer. Wills are not ';filed at the courthouse'; until the estate is probated.How does one go about locating a deceased parent's will?
Check with the lawyer who drew it up. In my state you can actually store the will with the clerk of court but in your case you state that you've lost it. At any rate the lawyer will have a copy in his/her files. Also, you might not have to probate the will. Again in my state a will does not have to be probated if all heirs and creditors are satisfied. My mother died 7 years ago and we have not probated hers yet, but there are 3 of us, her creditors have been paid and we have divvied up things to suit us so it is no big deal. At the end of each year the clerk of court calls me--my mother's will was stored with her--and asks me when I am going to probate it and I tell her I'll be in shortly and then we both promptly forget it. Just one of the joys of small town existence.
There are two 'typical' places to keep a will, or its copies. The first is in a safety deposit box in the bank. Take your parent's death certificate to his/her bank, and they'll usually let you check the box for a will.
The other option is the lawyer who drew the will (assuming a lawyer drew it). If you know who your parent's lawyer was, that makes it relatively easy. Otherwise, you might have to call the various estate lawyers in your parent's area to find out if any of them have the will.
(Then, of course, some folks will keep it in the home. Check under the fake floorboard in the basement...)
I would start by speaking with the decedent's attorney, the scrivener of the will. Sometimes attorneys keep wills in their law firm's safe. If it is not there, I would check where the decedent kept a safe deposit box. Chances are, it might be in the safe deposit box. States have laws that permit entering a safe deposit box to remove a will.
If the decedent had dealings with a bank's trust department, they may be holding the will for him in safe-keeping.
If it is not at either the lawyer's office or in a safe deposit box at a bank in town, I would look through all of the decedent's files and financial records. It might be in a file folder in a filing cabinet or desk.
Sometimes family members may have a safe or strong box at home where they keep items of value. It could be there.
Consider improbable locations: My dad used to keep important papers in an old antique clock on the mantel piece above the fireplace. I know an old lady who used to keep money in her deep freeze.
You know, under some circumstances, a copy of a will can be probated. This is a technical matter and your attorney can explain it to you. The law varies from state to state.
If you lost it and you never submitted it to the court, you are probably hosed. If you can identify a lawyer that prepared it, you could see if they have the original. Often, lawyers keep the original and send a copy with the client. Rarely do people file their will with a county recorder before death.
Did they have a safe deposit box at a bank? A safe in their home? You'll probably have to search through their house too. Do you know the attorney who prepared the will? You can contact them to see if they kept the original, as a copy is no good. Good luck.
Heather V., a will would not be at the courthouse until it has been submitted for probate.
Court house. All legally binding will are required to be submitted.

Is there an advantage of being a liberal parent to your kids?
So OK, I want to know if being liberal on the kids has a good effect on them? What are those?
And do you think there is difference between from being liberal and spoiling?Is there an advantage of being a liberal parent to your kids?
They have no respect for authority
They will sleep aroud like rabbits
They will try drugs
They will be spoiled brats
They will me mollycoddled brats.Is there an advantage of being a liberal parent to your kids?
I guess it depends on your definiation of ';liberal';. I think I am a liberal parent most of my friends think I am strict. We don't have many rules in this house but the ones we do have are enforced:
';if you can reach it you can have it, if your stuff gets broken you should have put it up';
';There is never a reason to put your hands on a family member. EVER';
';Nothing over a P.G. rating';
';You are responsible for your own things';
';Everyone lives here-everyone pitches in on clean-up';
';if you can talk you can listen';
';if you can walk I dont need to carry you (within reason)';
My kids are not spoiled, but the are allowed the chance to make their own mistakes and learn what happens when they do. I think haveing onlt a few rules has taught them basic understanding of how things work, I don't make a bunch of silly rules for them to follow as long as they can follow the basics, be respectful, and responsible. If they want to try something I let them our house is always filled with weird projects and artwork. But even though my kids are very young they have a natural sense of curiousity and I encourage them to explore that!
In my opinion, there are very few good things about being liberal. I believe that conservatism and moderation are much better alternatives in raising children. If you raise children to be liberal, they will have no since of right or wrong and have a very weak moral aptitude. This is all just my opinion though.
Your idea and mine may not be the same of what liberal is so I really can't give you an opinion unless you give some examples.
I would say I have tried to be a liberal parent.......my kid walks all over me now.

Why are stock options more volatile than the parent stock?
Can you answer in simple english please? I really want to understand this.Why are stock options more volatile than the parent stock?
Options are more volatile because they cost less.
For example, is a stock is selling for $25 per share a short term call option with a $25 strike might trade at $0.50 per share. If the stock goes up to $26.00 per share, that option might increase in price to $1.25 per share.
Even though the stock price changed $1.00 and the option price only changed $0.75, the option price changes a much higher percentage of its value.
A $1.00 increase for a $25 stock = a 4% increase.
A $0.75 increase for a $0.50 option = a 150% increase.Why are stock options more volatile than the parent stock?
Because they are valid for a limited period of time only and because the price of an option is only a fraction of the price of the underlying (not parent) stock, even though the option will tend to rise or fall (more or less) as many dollars as the price variation in the underlying shares.
With an option, your are not buying the stock, you are instead buying the ability to buy a stock at a certain price in the future. So you are betting on the difference between todays price and a future price, without actually buying the stock today. Here is an example:
A stock is selling for $100 a share today. You think in 90 days the stock will be worth $110, but the market only thinks it will be worth $105. The market will sell you an option to buy the stock 90 days from now at today's price ($100), but they will charge you $5 for that option, because they think the stock will be worth $5 more 90 days from now than it is worth today.
Since you think the stock will instead be worth $10 more, you take that bet and buy the option. You hope that 90 days from now you can exercise that option, which means you will buy the stock for the $100 allowed by the option, and immediately sell it for the $110 you think it will be worth. You would make a profit of $5 ($110 sell price, minus the $100 buy price, minus the $5 you paid for the option).
That is a 100% profit on your $5 option purchase!
If instead you bought the stock, rather than the option, you would have paid $100 for the stock, and sold it for $110, which would only be a 10% profit.
However, the option is much more risky; if you bet wrong, and the stock is only selling for $105 after 90 days, you make no profit at all, and if it is selling for jusy $100, you lose everything you invested. Whereas, if you bought the stock instead of the option, you would still have a stock worth $100. You didn't gain anything, but you didn't lose anything.laura mercier

How would it work if a fifteen year old would want to move to their other parent's house?
He is extremely scared to talk to his mother because she gets very angry at almost everything. She is not very reasonable either and tries to control every aspect of his life.How would it work if a fifteen year old would want to move to their other parent's house?
That's pretty much how every fifteen year old sees their parent. I'm sure mom is more reasonable than that.
If it's something you and your son are considering, you need to take the lead and the heat. Talk to her yourself. Let her know what you and your son have been discussing.
A lot of times kids play both ends against the middle trying to keep both parents happy. You might be surprised to find out he is quite happy at home.

Good luck.How would it work if a fifteen year old would want to move to their other parent's house?
How's your communication with your dad? Have you told him you would like to live with him? If so, how did he respond? For it to really work, you'll need to have your dad's invitation for you to live with him, and your mom's willingness to let you live with your dad. Without that, it is very difficult... your dad would have to really want you there... enough that he would be willing to take your mom to court to create a legal change.
Your mom sounds very afraid. I bet she loves you a lot and is terrified of all the many ways you could get hurt in life. This may be an opportunity for you to be more mature than your age. If you can give understanding to your mom's concerns... really listen... repeat it back to her so she knows you understand. Remind her that she raised you well and that you can be trusted to make good choices (only if this is a true statement). Thank her for loving you so much. Remind her that you are a teenager... you need to explore life, try things out... but that you will keep your own safety in mind while exploring. Ask her if she would be willing to trust a bit more. Take time to listen to her. If you can listen for her emotions and her need for your well-being, you'll have more spaciousness for her ';controlling'; behavior... you'll see that it's an ineffective way that she is demonstrating her love for you. (This is great training for future romantic relationships too... the guys who really know how to listen reap the biggest rewards. Trust me on this one! :o)
you would have to go to court. and he would have to say he wants to be with you instead and state why. and you just have to prove you can care for him financially and emotionally. seek a lawyers advice on this one..
We got to choose when we were 13, so I think a judge would listen to him at the age of 15. You just have to show that the other family is at least as capable of caring for him as his mother is.
Usually after age 12 the child can choose where they want to live. Get the papers drawn up and move him in with you! Tell your crazy ex to suck wind!
Talk to the more reasonable parent.
That's pretty much how every fifteen year old sees their parent. I'm sure mom is more reasonable than that.
If it's something you and your son are considering, you need to take the lead and the heat. Talk to her yourself. Let her know what you and your son have been discussing.
A lot of times kids play both ends against the middle trying to keep both parents happy. You might be surprised to find out he is quite happy at home.

How does one go about locating a deceased parent's will?
My parent left a will that was made before passing. I cannot locate the will because I lost in moving from one location to another. I need it like 6 months ago for probate court.How does one go about locating a deceased parent's will?
If it exists, it would be in their personal papers, a sfe deposit box or possibly left with a lawyer. Wills are not ';filed at the courthouse'; until the estate is probated.How does one go about locating a deceased parent's will?
Check with the lawyer who drew it up. In my state you can actually store the will with the clerk of court but in your case you state that you've lost it. At any rate the lawyer will have a copy in his/her files. Also, you might not have to probate the will. Again in my state a will does not have to be probated if all heirs and creditors are satisfied. My mother died 7 years ago and we have not probated hers yet, but there are 3 of us, her creditors have been paid and we have divvied up things to suit us so it is no big deal. At the end of each year the clerk of court calls me--my mother's will was stored with her--and asks me when I am going to probate it and I tell her I'll be in shortly and then we both promptly forget it. Just one of the joys of small town existence.
There are two 'typical' places to keep a will, or its copies. The first is in a safety deposit box in the bank. Take your parent's death certificate to his/her bank, and they'll usually let you check the box for a will.
The other option is the lawyer who drew the will (assuming a lawyer drew it). If you know who your parent's lawyer was, that makes it relatively easy. Otherwise, you might have to call the various estate lawyers in your parent's area to find out if any of them have the will.
(Then, of course, some folks will keep it in the home. Check under the fake floorboard in the basement...)
I would start by speaking with the decedent's attorney, the scrivener of the will. Sometimes attorneys keep wills in their law firm's safe. If it is not there, I would check where the decedent kept a safe deposit box. Chances are, it might be in the safe deposit box. States have laws that permit entering a safe deposit box to remove a will.
If the decedent had dealings with a bank's trust department, they may be holding the will for him in safe-keeping.
If it is not at either the lawyer's office or in a safe deposit box at a bank in town, I would look through all of the decedent's files and financial records. It might be in a file folder in a filing cabinet or desk.
Sometimes family members may have a safe or strong box at home where they keep items of value. It could be there.
Consider improbable locations: My dad used to keep important papers in an old antique clock on the mantel piece above the fireplace. I know an old lady who used to keep money in her deep freeze.
You know, under some circumstances, a copy of a will can be probated. This is a technical matter and your attorney can explain it to you. The law varies from state to state.
If you lost it and you never submitted it to the court, you are probably hosed. If you can identify a lawyer that prepared it, you could see if they have the original. Often, lawyers keep the original and send a copy with the client. Rarely do people file their will with a county recorder before death.
Did they have a safe deposit box at a bank? A safe in their home? You'll probably have to search through their house too. Do you know the attorney who prepared the will? You can contact them to see if they kept the original, as a copy is no good. Good luck.
Heather V., a will would not be at the courthouse until it has been submitted for probate.

Is there an advantage of being a liberal parent to your kids?
So OK, I want to know if being liberal on the kids has a good effect on them? What are those?
And do you think there is difference between from being liberal and spoiling?Is there an advantage of being a liberal parent to your kids?
They have no respect for authority
They will sleep aroud like rabbits
They will try drugs
They will be spoiled brats
They will me mollycoddled brats.Is there an advantage of being a liberal parent to your kids?
I guess it depends on your definiation of ';liberal';. I think I am a liberal parent most of my friends think I am strict. We don't have many rules in this house but the ones we do have are enforced:
';if you can reach it you can have it, if your stuff gets broken you should have put it up';
';There is never a reason to put your hands on a family member. EVER';
';Nothing over a P.G. rating';
';You are responsible for your own things';
';Everyone lives here-everyone pitches in on clean-up';
';if you can talk you can listen';
';if you can walk I dont need to carry you (within reason)';
My kids are not spoiled, but the are allowed the chance to make their own mistakes and learn what happens when they do. I think haveing onlt a few rules has taught them basic understanding of how things work, I don't make a bunch of silly rules for them to follow as long as they can follow the basics, be respectful, and responsible. If they want to try something I let them our house is always filled with weird projects and artwork. But even though my kids are very young they have a natural sense of curiousity and I encourage them to explore that!
In my opinion, there are very few good things about being liberal. I believe that conservatism and moderation are much better alternatives in raising children. If you raise children to be liberal, they will have no since of right or wrong and have a very weak moral aptitude. This is all just my opinion though.
Your idea and mine may not be the same of what liberal is so I really can't give you an opinion unless you give some examples.
I would say I have tried to be a liberal parent.......my kid walks all over me now.

Why are stock options more volatile than the parent stock?
Can you answer in simple english please? I really want to understand this.Why are stock options more volatile than the parent stock?
Options are more volatile because they cost less.
For example, is a stock is selling for $25 per share a short term call option with a $25 strike might trade at $0.50 per share. If the stock goes up to $26.00 per share, that option might increase in price to $1.25 per share.
Even though the stock price changed $1.00 and the option price only changed $0.75, the option price changes a much higher percentage of its value.
A $1.00 increase for a $25 stock = a 4% increase.
A $0.75 increase for a $0.50 option = a 150% increase.Why are stock options more volatile than the parent stock?
Because they are valid for a limited period of time only and because the price of an option is only a fraction of the price of the underlying (not parent) stock, even though the option will tend to rise or fall (more or less) as many dollars as the price variation in the underlying shares.
With an option, your are not buying the stock, you are instead buying the ability to buy a stock at a certain price in the future. So you are betting on the difference between todays price and a future price, without actually buying the stock today. Here is an example:
A stock is selling for $100 a share today. You think in 90 days the stock will be worth $110, but the market only thinks it will be worth $105. The market will sell you an option to buy the stock 90 days from now at today's price ($100), but they will charge you $5 for that option, because they think the stock will be worth $5 more 90 days from now than it is worth today.
Since you think the stock will instead be worth $10 more, you take that bet and buy the option. You hope that 90 days from now you can exercise that option, which means you will buy the stock for the $100 allowed by the option, and immediately sell it for the $110 you think it will be worth. You would make a profit of $5 ($110 sell price, minus the $100 buy price, minus the $5 you paid for the option).
That is a 100% profit on your $5 option purchase!
If instead you bought the stock, rather than the option, you would have paid $100 for the stock, and sold it for $110, which would only be a 10% profit.
However, the option is much more risky; if you bet wrong, and the stock is only selling for $105 after 90 days, you make no profit at all, and if it is selling for jusy $100, you lose everything you invested. Whereas, if you bought the stock instead of the option, you would still have a stock worth $100. You didn't gain anything, but you didn't lose anything.

How would it work if a fifteen year old would want to move to their other parent's house?

How do you get a permit without your parent present?
im 15, and i live with my grams, but she isnt my leagal guardian, and my mom wont sign over custody, i've heard of permanent guardianship, but all i want to do is get my permit so i can finally drive leagally.How do you get a permit without your parent present?
It depends on what state you live in. In Texas, a grandparent can sign and certify for driver's ed.How do you get a permit without your parent present?
it depends where you live, at age 16 you can usually sign for yourself if you explain the fact that you have no legal guardian.
and by this i mean: you live with and elderly woman who is not your legal guardian and your mother abandoned. because as far is the law is conserned if she did not leave you in someone's legal custody that's exactly what she's done. but seeing as your only 15 you might have a hard time but either way there's a chance they will send you to the county clerks offce to verify this and fill out proper request forms, i was legaly independant at age 16 myself so i know what its like. p.s. if you ever get arrested under these circumstances tell the cops you have no legal guardian and no actual care taker they will have no choice but to release you under your own recognacance due to the fact that at 16 they have no authority to hold you unless you face procecution (nor are they alloud to release you -accept to a legal guardian or caretaker, but they will cause they can't keep you either and don't need you launching a law suite or taking up time space and food) i know this because i was arrested a few times for petty theft (food from the local super markets and other important items of that nature) when i was 16-17.
Tell Your Mom To Start Signing Some Papers.
OR
Ask the DMV...Social Services..or Police...About it.
You probably can't. If your mom won't sign the papers, then you will probably have to wait until your of legal age.
I think the laws vary from state to state. Here in Connecticut, you must have a parent or guardian present to get your permit, if you are under 18 years old. Once you are 18, you can sign for yourself.
Quite frankly, I think 15 is too young to drive anyway. The majority of accidents on the road are caused by teen drivers. Why don't you wait until you're a little older to get your permit?
oh shoot, well i think if shes your guardian then she can sign it.
good luck
well when i went for mine my parents didn't have to sign anything. you should be able to just go and do it.laura mercier

Will dss investigate an anonymous call about a parent of a baby smoking weed?
She has custody of her 1 year old and her and her father (the person's whose house she lives at and the one who watches the child every day while she's at work) sit right out front of the house and smoke marijuana. If they did, would they test them and how?Will dss investigate an anonymous call about a parent of a baby smoking weed?
Its not like she is smoking crack ...weed should be legalized anyways ... i bet its your kid and your trying to cause problems .. I think a pothead is better equipped to raise a child then a common drunk ... LEGALIZE MARIJUANA .... GO MONTEL... Will dss investigate an anonymous call about a parent of a baby smoking weed?
Don't you dare call for that.
What if she has glaucamoa or some other issue which requires her to smoke marijuana?
What if instead of drinking, she prefers to relax by toking a joint? Trust me, I'd be way more concerned by a drunk parent than a high one.
The fact that she's smoking outside also indicates that she doesnt want 2nd hand smoke around her baby. Very responsible if you ask me.
Mind your business and leave them alone. DSS might even laugh at you, especially if there's no yelling or abuse going on. But for your info, THC (the active weed chemical) can be detected in your urine fairly easily and a test could perhaps be mandated by a judge, but not DSS themselves.
If child protective services is called about a situation like this then yes, they would have to investigate and I believe they would order drug testing. They would order a urine and/or blood test. Marijuana says in the system for 30 days. Also, the technicians have tests in place so that if one were to try %26amp; mask the drugs in their system, they would find this out as well.
I doubt it
Thousands of people (and parents) smoke weed.
They would get a pee test, and a fine
But i dont think they would take the child away without the person proving to be an unfit parents
Even doctors have told me they dont consider weed to be a real drug
Its not like she is smoking crack ...weed should be legalized anyways ... i bet its your kid and your trying to cause problems .. I think a pothead is better equipped to raise a child then a common drunk ... LEGALIZE MARIJUANA .... GO MONTEL... Will dss investigate an anonymous call about a parent of a baby smoking weed?

What is your view on this debate: Who should pay for college? The Student or the Parent?
Is it the student's responsibility to work throughout high school and college, and apply for scholarships and loans to pay for his or her own education, or is it the responsibliity of the parent to ensure that their child is covered?What is your view on this debate: Who should pay for college? The Student or the Parent?
think its the responsibility of both the parent of the child to pay for collage but i also think that parents should try to ensure that their child is covered so its not a burden to the parent or childWhat is your view on this debate: Who should pay for college? The Student or the Parent?
Be responsible and become an independent student, you get more benefits that way and will pay less. Check out the school's policies on that. You may have to live on your own for a year or maybe even 6 months. If your parents can't afford it, then if it's something you want THAT bad...you should grow up, show your parents you have some responsibility and do this on your own. Many colleges even offer a work program. Check out scholarship websites because they have them for things like being left handed or having a job at McDonald's or disabilities like ADD, ADHD, and autism. There is a scholarship for just about everything. Pell grants also will kick in a good amount too. You are better off doing this on your own.
Technically, the parent has no obligation to support their kid's post-high school education. You're 18.
My dad always told me my whole life that he would pay for my college, and especially stressed that when I was in high school. But, by the time college rolled around he never made good on that promise - I took out student loans and paid for [[and I'm still paying]] my college myself. I worked full time during college also.
I think if the parent wants to contribute, then the student should be especially grateful. But the student shouldn't automatically expect his/her parent to do that.
When I have kids, I would like to start a college savings fund for them. I want to help them pursue higher education as much as I can... but I may not be able to pay for all of it [[depends on financial circumstances of the time]].
It could just be a matter of finances, if they don't have the money it doesn't matter whether they want to pay for you to go to college or not.
If you can do it without being judgmental or accusatory you should ask them in a casual way that you were wondering if they were going to be
able, be able , not just will they , be able to help you with college expenses.
It's not any LAW that parents must pay for a child's education. However, most parents will if they have the money. Personally, I would love for my future child(ren) to enjoy high school without working ( or maybe have a part-time job for spending money ) like I did, and concentrate on their studies, so that they can get a full scholarship.. like I did.
College is ex-pen-sive. If parents have the money, I personally feel that they should pay or at least help. It really sucks to be fresh out of college and already owe tens of thousands of dollars in loans...
I think that it is the responsibility of the student to work hard academically and in extracurricular activities in order to pursue and apply for scholarships, however parents are held responsible for paying for college should they be unable to obtain scholarships/grants. Unless the student was living on their own and paying their own bills prior to admission to college, they are considered a dependent of the parents. This is why the parents information is required on the FAFSA form. Another option of course is to get student loans.
It depends how hard the student worked in high school to really show interest in going to college and also how much money the parents have. Scholarships are offered for those who have made a commitment in going to college. It all starts with the student.

What happens if an adult( 22 yrs old) prefers to sleep in their parent's bed. With the parent in it.?
Someone told me he prefers to sleep in his parents room. He just graduated college n works. Its weird to me and I think somthing is wrong. I tried to google it but theres nothing on that issue. PLease help. Thank youWhat happens if an adult( 22 yrs old) prefers to sleep in their parent's bed. With the parent in it.?
Clearly, the parents have no sex life, or we can only hope.
Yes, it's weird, and no employer would hire this college grad if this were known outside your little circle.What happens if an adult( 22 yrs old) prefers to sleep in their parent's bed. With the parent in it.?
Clearly its nothing wrong, its not like hes sleep right next to them to see them gave sex or anything, some people just feel like they need to be closer to their parents. Though its kinda odd that he still lives with his parents, but still, there is nothing wrong. Get over it.
to me it says he is either REDICULOUSLY insecure or has something slightly more perverted going on in his head.
i also would question parents who would let such a thing go on.
if anything tho, all parties involved should talk to a doctor or something about it.
There is something wrong with that. His parent(s) obviously need to be concerned over this.
I think the cut off age for most people is age 10 or 11...
Super creepy I think everyone involved needs to go to counseling that kind of thing should stop at like 6-8 yrs old
lol id think that would have stoped around age 7
sick perv!
should not

Democrats how do you define as a good parent?
Well you obviously don't agree with the conservative version of good family values so whats your version? Democrats how do you define as a good parent?
someone who teaches their child right and wrong. teaches them to care for every other human being/animal on the planet no matter their race, religion, sexual orientation. always having your childs best interests at heart. id say something along those lines would mkae a good parentDemocrats how do you define as a good parent?
A good parent is someone that encourages their children to make good decisions by guiding them and giving them the correct information. It's not a conservative or liberal thing.
What is the conservative definition of good family values?
Sarah Palin, through her actions, have shown that her family values are...
1. Being pregnant before you're married is okay. Both Sarah Palin and her daughter were pregnant before married.
2. Religion... We know that's just lip service on her part.
What religiion advocates pre-marital sex and minors having pre-marital sex?
3. Caring for the family... Sarah has a newborn. Have we even seen Sarah Palin hold her son? It's always the daughter holding the boy. Also, she's parading them in front of the public and using her son's disability (to pull at our heart strings) for political gain.
4. Guiding her childern... Obviously, she didn't guide her daughter very well.
If those are conservative family values, I will pass on them and leave them for you.
Does Sarah Palin meet your definition of good family values?
One thing would be to teach your daughter about sex education and how to use birth control instead of the failed ';just say no!';
When did an unwed, pregnant teenager come to symbolize ';good family values';?
Or is that just a conservative republican thing?
Someone who loves their child enough to try to arm them with the knowledge necessary for them to protect themselves rather than just saying ';just don't have sex.';
A Democratic Good Parent would be Sarah Palin with the right stance on abortion and a ';D'; after her name instead of an ';R';.
Support your child not force them into life changing decisions.
Well let's see, my sister has 3 kids, 2 in college %26amp; one in the 10th grade %26amp; none of them are pregnant.

Who files a child support judgement, the custodial parent or the state?
I'm just wondering who initiates a judgement for arrears. Does the state do it on their own or does the custodial parent have to request it?Who files a child support judgement, the custodial parent or the state?
The custodial sues the ex for money (arrearages) owed in courtWho files a child support judgement, the custodial parent or the state?
Depends.
1) If the parent that is taking care of the child goes and gets welfare the state will file a claim for child support agianst the other person to get the money back.
2) If the parent dosent claim welfare, they will go to a lawyer and start a case on their own.
Well, in Texas, the Attorney General submits it to the court, but usually you have to harass them to do so.
You have to go to the child support division and tell them you want to go after the arrears....if you don't, they don't know he's behind.

Can I get my nose pierced without a parent present?
I'm 16 years old, living in New York.
Am I allowed to get a nose piercing without a parent there? Could I bring in a copy of her drivers license, my birth certificate, and a signed consent saying I can get it done? Or is that completely against the law.Can I get my nose pierced without a parent present?
Ok, so you live in New York, go into the city, there are probably a ton of places to get it done there that probably don't give a crap if your parent is present, which they SHOULD BE because that is the law.
But I don't recommend that, because those places tend not to use sterilization, and they're not clean at all.
I got my nose pierced for my 14th birthday, I am 16 now. I went to a clean, reputable place with my mom present (it took a lot of convincing by the way) and a nice woman named Trish did me fast, efficiently, and most importantly, she was very sterile and professional.
In fact I saw it on True Life, I saw a girl go get her nose pierced when she was 16 with a group of friends, she was in the Bronx I think.
If your mom won't give you the ok, and you really have your heart set on it, wait until your 18. Can I get my nose pierced without a parent present?
well for ears you have to be 18 or have a parent sign. idk if it would work to just bring in the signed for and id because some ppl can forge. so i dont think its likely to work
u have to be 18 to do it on ur own. thats what i heard.

Does parent know how to educate their child in this century? Does the new education system help?
Recently I went through a lot of case studies of children and found out a tons of information that connected to our education system. Different country carry different form of education system, but I wonder sometime does it help? The education system that I was under was base on an old concept. Learning without exploring self ability. Of coz nowadays people are more emphazies in how many ';Q'; and skills (that is what brain analayze is for)in you to determine our weakness and strength. What do you think? Knowledge or Ability or Skill or Q's?Does parent know how to educate their child in this century? Does the new education system help?
Knowledge ensues ability and skill and are now far more obtinable in the internet that it is possible the computer can be a mentor. Today nobody can be ignorant.Does parent know how to educate their child in this century? Does the new education system help?
Knowledge and the ability to utilize it is the only key to education. The other stuff is nice if you don't care about the person knowing anything or being able to use what they know. The idea of exploring self ability is about as useless in the real world as mammary glands on a boar hog. Business, industry and government and every other occupation depends upon knowledge and the ability to apply it to the situation at hand.

Can parent with herpes of the genitals and mouth pass the virus to a child through nonsexual contact?
I am a lawyer litigating a custody dispute in which my client (the father) is concerned because mom has genital herpes and oral herpes and he is concerned that she could pass the virus to the child during visitation because she sleeps with the child, kisses the child, has sores on her body at times and refuses to take precautions. Is this theory medically sound?Can parent with herpes of the genitals and mouth pass the virus to a child through nonsexual contact?
Wow, your client is a serious jacka$$. That is my professional opinion. He is a class a jacka$$. There are great reasons for one parent to have custody of a child over another, but this is NOT sound from a medical nor ETHICAL standpoint.
Here's why:
1. If mom has genital herpes, dad should be checked, too, with a strain-selective blood test. Otherwise, instead of mom and dad, you'll be litigating a case between pot and kettle.
2. 60% of all adults have oral herpes, and they get it often nonsexually as small children. Things as simple as kissing on the cheek, sharing sippy cups, slobbering on toys can all spread oral herpes. So in that sense, YES, mom can give cold sores to the kid. BUTut it's not a huge medical problem, and certainly not one that poses any real danger to the child. The chances of dad being able to protect the child from this ';scourge'; any better than mom are pretty slim. It's like saying that mom is an unfit parent because the kid catches the occasional cold.
3. Your ex-wife isn't going to be able to spread genital herpes to the kid by co-sleeping. She'd have to dry-hump the child for that to happen, in which case, you can pull the kid from the home on basis of sexual abuse (which makes for a better case for your client, anyway).
And that ETHICAL bit? Think this through, barrister, if you go forward with this case and somehow convince the judge that that parents wth cold sores are unfit to raise their children, then you set up a HIDEOUS precedent by which a VAST MAJORITY of people could stand to lose their kids.
Like I said earlier, about 60% (a little less than two out of three) of all adults have the virus that causes cold sores. Not all of them have outbreaks of cold sores, but they can still be contagious. And it's not as if reckless behavior led them to catch this virus. If you were talking about a meth addiction or Munchausen's by Proxy, then you'd have cause to remove the kid. But as it stands, your argument is weak. Chances are, your judge has had cold sores at some point, and s/he's just going to scoff at you.
You should call an expert witness if you really want to make this case, but seriously, a real doctor would probably just laugh at you and bill you for the consultation. btw, are you billing your client for the time you spend on Y!A? Wouldn't you have been better off consulting a physician instead?Can parent with herpes of the genitals and mouth pass the virus to a child through nonsexual contact?
Simply put yes. If she has a cold sore or not, the virus is always present and she has a chance to pass it on to the child. Even when there isn't a cold sore, there is what's known as viral shedding.
During viral shedding the herpes virus makes its home in the nerve cells of an infected person. At times, the virus travels along the nerves up to the surface of the skin. This process is called ';viral shedding,'; or just ';shedding.';
During shedding, the virus can be passed on to others by direct skin-to-skin contact, especially from anal, oral, or vaginal sex. Sometimes shedding is accompanied by symptoms, such as the characteristic herpes blisters.
But sometimes shedding occurs without any noticeable symptoms; this is referred to as ';asymptomatic shedding.';
Hope this helps. Good Luck!!!!
As a lawyer don't you have medical personnel you can consult?
Yes, the theory is medically sound.
There are very good answers on here, but you should talk to a OBGYN and get a doctors statement for this to hold up in court.

Can 13yr olds basically refuse to live with parent that has custody?
She does not want to live with father and has no idea where mother is. I'm not related but she has been with me 4 months.Can 13yr olds basically refuse to live with parent that has custody?
It depends what country we are talking about. In the Uk if a child is not happy living with a parent, social services can intervene %26amp; the child can be placed with another appropriate adult, providing that the parents are consenting.
I'm not sure as to child laws in the US, you'll have to contact Child Protective Services %26amp; enquire as to the legal ramifications.
Good Luck.X :-)Can 13yr olds basically refuse to live with parent that has custody?
Legally, a thirteen yr old in this country has about the same rights that the detainees in Guantanamo have, which is to say, none. Actually, I think the detainees have more rights than youngsters do. Children, under the law, are little more than property.
Of course, is she doesn't want to live with the custodial parent, and you're willing to offer her shelter, it would be up to the father to engage the law to return her to custody.
Sounds like an ugly situation. Good luck to you and your friend.
Unless she did something illegal involving the 13 year old, no. The law assigned the child to the parent because the parent is in charge of the child until they are old enough to make the decisions.
No. That's illegal. Children are not allowed to make that kind of decision until they are 16. The legal guardian can actually have you put in jail.
At 13 years of age, you are still too young to decide who you want to live with.
It depends what country we are talking about. In the Uk if a child is not happy living with a parent, social services can intervene %26amp; the child can be placed with another appropriate adult, providing that the parents are consenting.
I'm not sure as to child laws in the US, you'll have to contact Child Protective Services %26amp; enquire as to the legal ramifications.
Good Luck.X :-)Can 13yr olds basically refuse to live with parent that has custody?
Legally, a thirteen yr old in this country has about the same rights that the detainees in Guantanamo have, which is to say, none. Actually, I think the detainees have more rights than youngsters do. Children, under the law, are little more than property.
Of course, is she doesn't want to live with the custodial parent, and you're willing to offer her shelter, it would be up to the father to engage the law to return her to custody.
Sounds like an ugly situation. Good luck to you and your friend.
Unless she did something illegal involving the 13 year old, no. The law assigned the child to the parent because the parent is in charge of the child until they are old enough to make the decisions.

If you are 18 years old, but your parent is the one financing the vehicle, do they have to be present?
Do they have to be there physically? Or can they just send things needed?If you are 18 years old, but your parent is the one financing the vehicle, do they have to be present?
anyone whose name is on the car has to be present for signing ownershipIf you are 18 years old, but your parent is the one financing the vehicle, do they have to be present?
They need to be there to cosign etc.
yes sir they are the ones with collateral they MUST be present to cosign
If you mean do they have to be present when you actually buy the car and take posession of the vehicle, then I would think they have to be present to sign the paperwork and to provide proof of insurance unless you got insurance on your own.
HMM NO CUZ THEY'RE FINANCING IT, NOT YOU.
if your a cobowerer then yes but either way i would still go to make sure you get what you want

Can an AB and an O blood type parent give birth to an O type child?
I read a little about the ';Bombay Phenotype'; which I believe makes this possible but I wanted a little more infoCan an AB and an O blood type parent give birth to an O type child?
OK, I've already half-answered this elsewhere, so some of this is copied across.
To have an O type child when either of the parents is AB is 'impossible'. This is because ABO blood type is generally determined by 2 alleles (gene versions) per person, one each inherited from each parent, out of the possible 3 types: A, B and O. O alleles are recessive to A and B ones, such that only 2 O alleles (one from each parent) results in O-type blood. AB-type blood usually only appears in people who have 1 A allele and 1 B allele - hence no O allele to pass on to a child, hence no O type children. This applies the vast majority of the time, and an O child of an AB parent might consider a DNA test.
An exception to this is a very rare gene named cis-AB, where due to crossing over, an allele has formed conferring a version of AB-type blood with a single allele. This allows space for another allele, such that an AB-type person might also have an O allele they can pass on. Again though, this is very rare.
Not much more common, Bombay blood by contrast doesn't strictly speaking yield an O child from an AB and O, rather Bombay blood shows up as O type on the standard test. Bombay blood is due to a recessive gene at a different locus to the ABO genes. Most of us have H %26amp; H alleles at this location. Some of us have H %26amp; h, meaning we carry the Bombay blood gene such that 2 H %26amp; h people could have a child who is h %26amp; h. An h %26amp; h child does not develop even some of the antigens on their blood cells which are on all 4 normal ABO types' including O type. As a result, A and B antigens cannot form on these cells either, the person tests negative for A and B, and is labeled O by default. However, in fact a transfusion of O blood could kill them, just as with other mis-typed blood. Regardless of this, the point is that such a person could have genes for A or B blood at the ABO locus, yet this be overridden by the Bombay locus.
At least as likely is that the genes which code for A or B type in the child have failed to be expressed for some less well defined reason. O is the default option on the ABO locus after all, (since it initially just means an absense of A and B antigens) so a compromised A allele might result in O type blood. Again, this would be preferable to having Bombay blood, as those with the latter are in trouble if they need a blood transfusion.
If this is a practical question, it is also possible for the tests to be misread such that someone who really is A type (in particular) is shown as O. Some sub-types react weakly to a commonly used test.

What does a person look for in a home study when someone is a prospective adoptive parent?
I know they look for:
1. Smoke detectors
2. fire extinguisher
3. room for child/children
4.beds %26amp; dresser for each child
5.criminal background check
If you adopt a baby does it need its own room or can it stay in your room as long as it has a crib and dress?What does a person look for in a home study when someone is a prospective adoptive parent?
Adoption process will look at your financial statements to see if you can afford a child. Unless you already have custody of a kid or are next of kin in an emergency.
They will look to see if the house is safe. Rails on anything over 18 inches of the ground and on stairs.
Check for signs of bugs and pests.
Look in your closets to make sure you arent hiding the mess.
Look through your kitchen making sure it is clean,
Look at the exterior to see if you keep it in order.
Check the bathroom for leaks, and may even check your insulation in the attics.
They want the child safe. They already assume you have love for the child, but that really doesnt matter as much as having them safe.
They may also look at your schooling to see if you are qualified to help with homework.
Good Luck!

California parent trying to decide whether to purchase/register car in California vs. Arizona?
I live in California and my child goes to college in Arizona.
I am trying to decide if I should buy / register the car in California (and have her under my policy - lower policy cost) OR buy/ register the car in Arizona (under her own name - to minimize my liability. We've been checking Craigslist and within our price range, the cars in California have much higher mileage and more expensive than cars in Arizona. What are the pros and cons of both options?California parent trying to decide whether to purchase/register car in California vs. Arizona?
You should talk to your attorney or accountant about liability risk and asset protection (for you). ';Buying a car, insuring it and letting her drive'; it has TOTALLY different liability than ';giving her cash and she happens to spend it on a car and insurance';. It also has different tax implications.
Whatever you do, be honest with your insurer. If you choose to have your adult child on your policy, tell them she is the driver and she goes to school in Arizona. Absolutely do not try to trick your insurance company to get a lower rate; they'll declare fraud and refuse to cover any claims, which would bankrupt you in an injury accident. You can't support your daughter if you're bankrupt.California parent trying to decide whether to purchase/register car in California vs. Arizona?
Question.. Where will the car be actually residing? Where will it be parked everyday/night? How many days a year? I ask only because I believe it's a law in ANY state that if the vehicle is primarily driven and parked in oh let's say AZ, it must be registered and insured in AZ. Not trying to be sarcastic, But it bothers me that you are even contemplating your options, which I think you only have one. Do the right, legal thing. Which is, if you buy a car for your daughter to drive in AZ. Buy HER a car. Regardless of where you purchase the vehicle, do research on that vehicle.Let her register and insure it in her own name in AZ. Since that's where she lives, and where the car will too....
Well, IF her legal address is AZ, as in she files AZ taxes and not CA taxes (meaning, you don't claim her as a dependent), she'll have to get an AZ insurance policy, you'll have to pay cash for the car, etc.
If you claim her as a dependent, it's not going to work - there's still a trail and you could be held liable. Or, if you plan on having a loan on the car, it won't work.
