Camacho John Myers Summary

Reynolds (2004) stated that five out of every six custodial parents are mothers, and he goes on to say that one out of three of those custodial parents receives a full payment averaging about five thousand dollars. Often times a judge makes the decision to grant custody to the mother based on the idea that a mother has a closer relationship with the child because of giving birth. However, it is important to remember as Smith (2003) reminds us that fathers love their children just as much as mothers, and to call them non-custodial parents is offensive. Often times when parents get divorced the mother has been a stay at home mom and the father has been the primary bread winner so, when a mom is awarded custody as you can imagine it becomes very difficult for her to balance the children and the one (or more) jobs that she has to work in order to support the family.

This is to help maintain the home for the child which many have misconstrued as monies for the parent. This has been an ongoing debate and non-custodial parents feel they should know where their money is being spent. Courts have opposed this as of today. When child support was introduced in 1975, many non-custodial parents would refuse to pay and many children were thrust into poverty. Currently, not paying child support according to Child Support Laws (2014),”made it a Federal crime to willfully fail to pay past-due child support payments.” Punishment can include loss of driver's license or passport, not able to obtain credit, and possibly not able to obtain

Imagine the punches, the kicks, the smashing on the table, just to realize the character traits can change everything. Monster by Walter Dean Myers evolves on the fact that being tough is key within life. Steve Harmon, 16 year old boy, black male, is being accused of felony murder. A court case involving James King and Steve Harmon is taking place to see who is not guilty. Steve writes in his journal of the experiences in jail. Through Steve’s writing it is clear that one must be strong and avoid showing weakness.

Myers is not afraid to go in depth about life on the streets of Harlem, from “Steve is sitting on a bench, James king sits with him. King is bleary eyed as he smokes a joint” (Monster 10). This is only a mere glimpse of the immense detail of Myers's works. Walter dean Myers is part of the post-Modernism era however, he also wrote books from the perspective of the 1920s and up. He also wrote fantasy and other works of nonfiction. Myers had a rough life as a kid, but his love for books emerged when his mother would read his stories at night time. Most of Myers’ works are based on personal experiences that are slightly tweeked. Myes did not decide to write about personal experiences until he discovered

J. Simpson. In addition to his numerous law review articles and books about criminal and constitutional law, he has written, taught and lectured about history, philosophy, psychology, literature, mathematics, theology, music, sports – and even delicatessens. [1]

Mr. Myers’ testimony revealed that the Lien Unit seized monies that were in his bank accounts; two accounts that are separate from his personal account. Mr. Myers stated that those two accounts are separate because the money in the accounts is not his personal money. One of the accounts was set up for his mother because of her mental state; he has Power of Attorney over her insurance and her health. He stated his mother received a settlement from the insurance company because of the damages done to her house. The check was issued in his mother’s name; he put the money in a separate account titled Renovations. Mr. Myers stated the money in that account is not used for his expenses; the account has nothing to do with him. He stated that when all of this happened, he spoke with the Lien Unit and was informed that if the money is his mother’s money; the Lien Unit does not want it. Mr. Myers stated he provided a copy of the check that was written to his mother to open the Renovations account; that check should bear witness for itself. He stated that the other account that is separate from his personal account is his business account for construction wiring. The account shows that the payroll is paid every single week to him and to other individuals when they are needed or hired. He stated that the rest of the money in that account pays for materials, fuel, etc. to make the business continue to thrive. Mr. Myers stated his business has suffered exceptionally since the

The document is a record of the communications between John Smith and Powhatan as detailed by John Smith (Shi and Mayer 7-8). Smith recorded it primarily to document their discussions; it’s likely that the other notable members of the colony would have wanted to know the current status of relations with the Native Americans. Since John Smith dealt with the Native Americans most often, the majority of conversations would have gone through him, so recording these exchanges was likely part of his job and not out of the ordinary. Smith was also known for his pride and love of attention, so it’s entirely possible that his writings were in part created to allow Smith receive recognition from others ("John Smith (bap. 1580–1631)”).

The first era that Myers examines is when child protection was not organized or even thought of as a profession. Though no laws or organizations were in place for children that were being abused, Myers gives examples of situations that occurred when criminals were prosecuted for abuse. Prosecution was not the only option for individuals who abused children; Massachusetts established a law for authorities to remove children from parents

On April 17, 60 minutes aired the interview of Sharyn Alfonsi with John Hering, the Executive Chairman and Founder of Lookout. He claimed that every device can be hacked and nothing is guaranteed safe. Specifically he claimed that everything has a vulnerability, meaning anyone could get hack no matter what type of device a person has. As Hering said “Any system can be broken it's just knowing how to break it.” Although some people believe if they buy the latest virus software, or have a specific specialized brand such as Apple or Dell, they’re shielded from hackers, Hering insists that a person’s phone is adequately a supercomputer that a person can carry around anywhere, so it can be easily hacked like a computer. Moreover, Hering states, that the average person won’t be as likely to get hacked compared to someone who is a celebrity or a politician. But doesn’t mean they’re completely safe because someone might want get a hold on one’s credit card information or other personal information. In sum, his view is that, the technology we use today can be

If the noncustodial parent is already behind on payments they will investigate as much as they can based on the information you have given to them. However, they will not represent you in court if that is the next step to be taken. You may also apply for legal aid and if your circumstances are right and a court appointed lawyer may be provided. However, this does not mean that you will get a great lawyer or one that is best for your case. The noncustodial parent may get a more experienced lawyer. There are other steps that can be taken at this point which include; hiring a privet investigator, hiring an agency dedicated to acquiring child support, or hiring an attorney to file contempt charges against the noncustodial parent. None of these options are inexpensive and if the custodial parent is already not receiving child support they may have run out of options and money needed to go back to court to file charges.Even if contempt charges are filed, the noncustodial parent must still be arrested so their last known address must be known. If the noncustodial parent has moved or cannot be found for them the best that can be hoped for is that they unfortunately get arrested for something else in the mean time or hope that they decide to start making payments.

It was the year 1620 when John Howland embarked upon a grand journey with his fellow Englishmen, who had resolved in their hearts to worship God freely, and as they pleased. Crossing the Atlantic on the mighty Mayflower, their destination was to sail to America. Shortly into their journey they encountered a massive storm which rocked the Mayflower back and forth, as if the waves were playing tug-a-war. Lighting flashed brightly across the open sea illuminating the giant waves as the thunder roared over the waters and shook the wet, frightened passengers as they huddled tightly together below deck seeking safety from the violence above, which threatened their holy endeavor.

The Best Interest of the Child (BICS) refers to the legal standard for assigning a custody arrangement of a child during divorce proceedings that focuses on awarding judgment according to factors that are the best for the development and well-being of the child or children involved. Although forensic psychologists are legally allowed to make formal recommendations in child custody evaluations, the request in this case example is unacceptable because Bob’s lawyer is seeking out the evaluation and any legal assessment or custody evaluation should be performed by a neutral third party, which is typically selected by the judge and/or agreed upon by both parents. Not only does this practice help to limit the psychologist’s potential for bias in
