Child Support Need Not Result in World War III
When parents of children separate, one of the first issues that should come up is what amount of child support should be paid. Initially, this can increase tension in an already tense relationship, but it really shouldn’t. You see, child support is to support the child or children in the relationship. This seems like a very basic principle, but it’s something that often gets lost in the emotion of a separation and/or divorce.
Back to School for Grown Ups
September is back to school month, which is a big change for school-aged children. But, adults, even those that don’t have young children, also need to tweak their habits in so far as driving is concerned. When the kids head back to school, all of us drivers need to be more aware of where school speed zones start and end.

Use 'Em or Lose 'Em
Last month’s article discussed your right to remain silent upon arrest or detention, which is something that too many people don’t take advantage of. As promised, this month I will deal with some of your other rights upon arrest or detention.
When police arrest you, they must identify themselves and tell you the reason for the arrest. If you are not sure, ask the police if you are under arrest and why.

This article is the first in a two part series about your rights and obligations upon investigation, detention or arrest by police.
