Many people believe that should the Federal Government place a cap on child support, that support will remain the same throughout the child’s life. In addition, CP’s would argue that the Federal Government should not be involved in such matters, when in fact it has already placed its hand in the pot by seizing federal tax refunds or the denial of a new or re-finance mortgage until the current arrearages are paid in full. It has further been argued by many that child support payments do not cover enough of the current support of the child, let alone cover the "extras" a child may need now or in the future, therefore, no cap should be placed on child support obligations. As stated above, the CP has the right to ask for modification of a …show more content…
What some of the CPs do not take into consideration is: (1) What happens if the other person loses their job and they are depending on that money for the sole purpose of a specific payment; (2) What happens when the support obligation ends (such as it being factored into a 30-year mortgage); and, (3) What happens when a child needs reoccurring expenses, such as new clothes or school supplies. The child support agencies do not take into consideration if the CP is receiving any type of assistance from a State agency, employment, or other resources in paying their portion of one-half of these expenses. Matter of fact, while the NCP is then required to reimburse the State agency for the TANF, Medicaid expenses, in addition paying the above-mentioned fees, they are not entitled to get the relief of the earned income tax credit per the IRS statutes. In addition, while the NCP is paying child support, plus one-half of the above listed fees, they do not get the tax benefit of the child on their tax return. Currently it is suggested that the Earned Income Tax Credit is being used as a "gift" rather than a credit for the children for the remaining of the year. As noted by Kelly Phillips Erb (2016), "Also on the list? Plastic surgery. More Americans than ever before will be using their tax returns to pay for
Amie Cullimore, a medical practitioner, filed a child support claim against Michael Ranson, who more than two decades ago donated his sperm to Amie Cullimore, who subsequently conceived two children. Cullimore alleges that throughout the years, Ranson has assumed the role of loco parentis, which means that Ranson has stood in the place of the parent throughout the years. Ranson filed a response that Bill 28, also known as, All Families Are Equal Act, which extinguishes Cullimore`s claim based on the assertion that the surrogate parents who lack an intention to be parents cannot be considered parents in law.
welfare didn’t satisfy the requirements of the section 30(A) because they didn’t consider the cost of in-home care when setting reimbursement rates. The plaintiff used the supreme clause to challenge the state reimbursement rates decision. The 9th circuit upheld the decision of the district court, stating that the state department of health must consider costs when making decisions. Also, ECC (Exceptional Child Care), thought had a private right of action under the supremacy clause to sue Idaho’s department of health. The parties disagreed over whether Medicaid providers could enforce the state plans for Medicaid assistance through a private cause of action for an injunction under the supremacy clause against the Department of health.

However, one exception holds that dependency can be claimed by the parent who provides for more than half of a child’s needs if the child is enrolled as a student. Even this exception expires when the child ages past 24 years.

It wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that more unmarried pregnant woman opted to keep their babies instead of putting them up for adoption (Else, A., 2012). Due to the financial pressures of sole-parenting the Domestic Proceedings Act was introduced in 1968, which required fathers to pay mothers some maintenance for
The Federal Government plays a major role. Federal Government dictates the major design features of State programs, funding, monitoring and evaluating, provide technical assistance, and also provide assistance in locating the absent parent. Once paternity is established, The Child Support Agencies would be responsible for collecting spousal support payments on behalf of the custodial parents. They were also required to petition for medical support as part of most child support orders. The program is for both welfare and non-welfare families. Parents who received benefits under AFDC, which is temporary assistance for needy families, Medicaid program, and/or foster care program automatically, received this service. There is a fee for parents outside the program which could be up to $25 for
The plan is then reviewed by the court. For most children, the primary permanency plan is reunification with their birth parents. According to federal law, states must make “reasonable efforts” to provide birth parents with the services and supports they need to regain custody of their children. However, there are exceptions to this requirement. States are not required to pursue reunification under certain conditions. In these circumstances, alternative permanency options such as adoption or legal guardianship are the goal for these
Under Family Code Section 3900, the legislation states that the father and mother of a minor child have an equal responsibility to support their child in the manner suitable to the child’s circumstances as well as the parent’s circumstances and station in life.

I would be an exceptional candidate for secretary of NHS due to my communication and organization skills. Furthermore, from my prior experience, I am very keen on communicating with every member in Junior Class Council, where I am an exec board position. Within the club, I help organize events, keep track of attendance, and organize the points in our club. The points are a way for exec board members to tally who is able to stay within the club or needs to catch up on their points. I believe this correlates to secretary because if a member is low on hours, I will send out an email to remind them of what is upcoming and to volunteer more for their hours.
A parent who does not have custody of their child is called a noncustodial parent. The payments that parent makes for the child’s care are called child support. If a child is born out of wedlock and the alleged father denies paternity, there are two ways to establish paternity before a court can order him to pay child support. One way is that the parents agree, sign, and file an affidavit of paternity to change the child’s
What constitutes a male today is very different than what would account for a male fifty years ago. World War II recruiting advertisements sympathize notions of service and bravery, which are embodied in Pollack’s “Give ‘em Hell” (Gosse, 2015) persona. This persona exeplifies machoisms, violence and risk taking. Recently, Buzzfeed Videos asked men and boys aged 5 to 50 to respond to what the phrase “be a man” means to them. Many commented on identity markers involving perceived notions including strength, determination, honesty and responsibility. Many also commented on the sexist and derogatory implications this phrase implies, others question the notions and implications of the term. At 2:17, age 35 muses about the implied assumptions of definition of male in the statement, “There is no real definition
Rationalization is a process whereby traditional meanings, values and the mode of thought are replaced by modern ‘rational’ ones. Weber sees the development of rationalization as the development of Western society and modern culture. Individuals become more concerned with achieving materialistic goals by rational means and by calculating and weighing up all the possible outcomes. In addition to rationalization, Weber also saw the disenchantment of the world, in which science and rationality are more highly valued than belief. It is the devaluation of mysticism and the cultural rationalization, mainly apparent in modern Western societies. Through this rationalization process, Weber sees an increasing trend towards secularization, bureaucratization and modernization. For Weber, traditional society was one where “the world remains a great enchanted garden”. (The University of Winchester, 2014) He regarded these traditional forms as irrational or at least non-rational. This is because they rely on superstition and magic as a way of explaining the social world and have no methodical forms of development, but are based on emotions, feelings and personal insights.
