Your best protection is to buy from a sperm bank since sperm bank donors have no way of knowing if they have any kids, let alone who the mothers are. However, one of the many disputed issues in this newly developing area of the law is whether the identity of the donor should be secret or whether states should enact legislation permitting disclosure to the child of his/her biological father. If you opt-out and go private, your best first step is to see a lawyer to draw up an artificial insemination contract. However, states are divided on whether the contract is enforceable.

When the pandemic-related lockdowns started in March, staff at several Asian American domestic violence organizations watched with concern as a hush fell over their work.
Clients who had previously told them of abusive partners who choked them, struck them in the face or threw them down stairs were now saying: “Don’t call me. It’s not safe.” Not only were their partners watching them around the clock, but many took away their phones, cars and credit cards, making it harder for women to seek help or leave.

Open relationships fall under the larger category of consensually non-monogamous relationships. They are relationships in which one or both partners can pursue sex, and sometimes emotional attachments, with other people.
Open relationships differ from swinging, in which partners have sex with other people at parties and where the relationships are purely sexual. They also differ from polyamory, where partners can pursue more than one committed relationship at a time. Open relationships are often considered a sort of the middle ground between swinging and polyamory.

Spouses who date during divorce proceedings open themselves up to financial scrutiny. Since most assets in a divorce are split equally, a judge may look at spending on a romantic partner as a divisible asset. This could affect future alimony or child support amounts as well. For example, if a spouse is using marital funds on a romantic partner, such as dinners, gifts, or trips, they are dissipating marital funds. If the other spouse decides to allege dissipation, discovery may include bank and credit card statements being brought into the open. Some spouses have even hired private investigators to prove dissipation.

We rarely meet a married couple where both partners have equal participation in financial planning, investing, and fiscal management. As a result, one spouse, with lesser involvement, is vulnerable to the possibility that they may someday be on their own and lack the skills and knowledge to handle their financial affairs safely and efficiently.

For American families and their children, school is more than just a building. It's a social life and a community, an athletic center and a place to get meals that aren't available at home. The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted — and continues to disrupt — the lives of U.S. students in profound ways.
Many kids haven't set foot in their schools since March, when most in-person schooling shut down across the United States. Teachers are working tirelessly to educate their students online, but they are growing increasingly anxious about the kids who aren't showing up at all.

Dating after divorce, much like divorce itself, is a different journey for everyone. That sounds like some pseudo Dr. Phil-ian babble, but it’s true. Getting back out there after the end of a marriage is tricky and everyone has their own timeline. For some men, there’s no time lost dating after divorce; they immediately get back out there, meeting people, tapping and swiping, and doing what they can to move on and put the past behind them. For others, dating is put on the back burner after a divorce, and they take time to focus on themselves and their families. The rule many experts like to quote is that it takes one year to get over five-to-seven years of marriage. However, it’s different for everyone.

When a marriage dissolves, it’s natural to experience feelings of guilt or rejection. Guilt can arise when a parent feels responsible for bringing pain to their children or for their behavior toward their ex-spouse. On the other hand, feelings of rejection probably stem from feeling left or betrayed by your ex. Whether a person feels more guilt versus rejection is probably related to the reasons why their marriage ended.

Divorce is typically the most common way in which people end marriages. Some of the grounds on which people file for divorce include neglect, cruelty, alcohol or drug abuse, willful absence, cheating, or imprisonment. In other words, if there is some sort of fault-based reason why one or both spouses want to end the marriage, a divorce is the way to go. In addition, a divorce is the only option when a couple does not agree on the terms of the split, such as how their assets should be dispersed.
