Divorce is a sticky situation and comes with great amounts of pain and trials. But when children are involved, the situation becomes a whole lot stickier. In these circumstances, child custody policies were created in order to negotiate the child’s legal status for the care, authority and livelihood of the children to either parent awarded by a court (Child Custody and Parent Time, 2015). Distribution of tangible items in the home, money, and most importantly children are determined and assessed by professionals in Utah State Courts.

In October 2014, Father filed a Petition to Modify Child Support. Based on his own calculations using the Parent’s Worksheet for Child Support, he requested Mother pay him $100 per month. Mother requested a hearing in response including her own calculations indicating that Father should be paying her $123 per month. An evidentiary hearing was held and the court ordered Father to pay mother child support amounting to $149.30 per month. Father filed a Motion for a New Trial stating that he was not provided with documentation regarding Mother’s financial status in a timely manner and that the family court’s child support obligation calculations were incorrect. Mother filed an Application for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The court denied Father’s request for a new trial and granted Mother’s request for attorney fees.

Maher Kara joined Citigroup’s healthcare as an investment banker in 2002, and on numerous occasions discussed mergers and acquisitions by Citigroup clients with his older brother Michael after regularly seeking advice from him. For the next three years, this dialogue continued but Maher soon suspected Michael was using the information they discussed for insider trading. While this was happening, Michael became engaged to Bassam Salman’s sister and began to share the inside information he received from his brother with Salman.

Bayyouk’s following trades were nearly identical with Citigroup’s
All too often parents separate and leave their children in a difficult situation. Thankfully, the United States judicial system has many thorough approaches to such situations that serve the purpose of ensuring that the children who become subject to having separated parents live the best lives possible. A prime example of such an approach can be found under 19-A M.R.S. §1653(3). This Maine Revised Statute outlines various factors regarding the standard that is set in place to determine the best interest of a child. In most all cases, this standard is used prior to reaching a final judgment as to where a child should live, where a child should attend school, who a child should spend the majority of their time with, and so on and so forth.

Nowadays, many high school and college students spend their time reading, analyzing, and interpreting Shakespearian works trying to understand his intricate vernacular.
