The document is a research paper on child support reform. It summarizes the history of child support laws and argues they are unfair to non-custodial parents. It provides several examples from interviews of non-custodial parents who are struggling financially and unable to properly support themselves due to high child support payments. It concludes that while the intent of child support laws was good, the current system is flawed and in need of reform to make it fairer to all parties involved.
The document discusses issues facing foster youth who age out of the foster care system at 18. It finds that these youth often experience negative outcomes like homelessness, unemployment, and incarceration at much higher rates than the general population. It evaluates the need for a program to better support foster youth as they transition to independence. The goal would be to implement a new program that helps prepare foster youth for adulthood through extended care and services, leading to improved and more productive lives.
Starting a Family: The Adoption Process for Gay and Lesbian CouplesAllyson Lindsey
This document provides an overview of the adoption process for gay and lesbian couples. It discusses preparing emotionally and financially, understanding the costs and time commitment involved, navigating state laws on adoption, and completing the required home study process. The home study involves interviews, background checks, home visits, and an evaluation of the prospective parents' ability to provide a stable and nurturing home environment for an adopted child. Resources for LGBTQ adoptions and financial assistance are also presented. The overall message is that adopting as a gay or lesbian couple requires diligence and perseverance but can result in forming a loving family.
The document summarizes a proposal from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative (Casey) to reform how the federal government funds child welfare services. The proposal, titled "When Child Welfare Works", aims to align federal funding with best practices. It recommends limiting federal reimbursement for foster care to 36 months, eliminating reimbursement for shelter care and residential care of children under 13, and limiting reimbursement for residential care of older children to 12 months. The goals are to promote permanency, support family-like settings, improve workforce continuity and increase accountability. The summary analyzes the implications and challenges of implementing the Casey recommendations.
Challenges Faced By Youth Aging Out of Foster CareLisa Dickson
This document discusses the challenges faced by youth who age out of foster care. It notes that many lack preparation and a safety net to support their transition to adulthood. Some key challenges include high rates of homelessness, low rates of college graduation, unemployment, and lack of access to healthcare compared to peers who did not age out of foster care. The document advocates for improved transition planning and support through extended foster care, identifying permanent connections, and access to resources to help youth succeed after aging out.
This document discusses the issue of foster care youth becoming homeless after aging out of the foster care system in New York City. Over 28,000 children are currently in foster care in NYC, many having come from abusive or neglectful homes. When these youth turn 21, they age out of the system and are at high risk of becoming homeless due to lack of housing, employment, education, and support services. Recent legislation and initiatives have aimed to better track outcomes for former foster youth and hold agencies accountable for ensuring their success after aging out.
Pregnancy and Government Grants Powerpoint Presentationguest56b3a014
The document discusses South Africa's child support grant program. It provides details on eligibility requirements, the application process, and payment methods. Most recipients are women, as statistics show many female-headed households have no wage earners. While some initially opposed the grants, research found no evidence it increased teen pregnancies or unemployment. Extending the program to older children is now being considered.
The document summarizes a proposal from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative to reform how the federal government funds child welfare services. It proposes limiting federal reimbursement for foster care to 36 months total and using the savings to fund prevention services aimed at keeping families together. It argues that the current system over-emphasizes out-of-home placements and that funding should be shifted to evidence-based practices that preserve families and prevent unnecessary removals of children from their homes. The proposal aims to better align federal funding incentives with research showing the harm of foster care drift and benefits of family preservation.
The document discusses a new policy by the Department of Job and Family Services to remove children from homes where the parents or guardians have a history of abuse, neglect, domestic violence or drug/alcohol offenses. The policy is based on social learning theory but may do more harm than good. It could overwhelm foster care systems and cause psychological harm to children by separating them from loving families. It also fails to consider that children can learn aggression from many sources beyond just their parents. Overall, the policy is deemed unethical due to these risks of making children's situations much worse.

Nurse-Family Partnership is an evidence-based early childhood program that partners low-income first-time mothers with registered nurses. Through home visits from early pregnancy until the child turns two years old, nurses work with mothers to improve health, social and economic outcomes. Research shows the program improves prenatal health, child development and economic self-sufficiency while saving up to $5.70 for every $1 invested through reduced healthcare, justice system and welfare costs.
The document discusses defining ethics in domestic and global adoption practices. It outlines some key principles of ethical adoption such as ensuring the best interests of the child, avoiding coercion of biological parents, maintaining transparency around fees and costs, eliminating conflicts of interest, and providing impartial counseling to all parties. The document also notes there is a lack of cohesive understanding and enforcement of ethical standards in the adoption field.
The Department Of Children And Family ServicesJulia D. Weiss
The document provides an overview of the Department of Children and Family Services in Illinois. It details the number of children in state care in Illinois and the United States. It then reviews literature on the structure and responsibilities of the different departments within DCFS. While some critics claim the system is inefficient and neglectful, the document finds evidence that DCFS has implemented policies and programs to better protect children, such as mandatory background checks and caseload limits for social workers. Interviews with DCFS employees suggest that individuals, not the system itself, are responsible for any abuse or neglect cases. Improving the current system, rather than replacing it, is presented as the best way to help children.
This was the result of a group project completed for the Family Policy (6130) Course at UGA. The assignment instructions were to choose a topic and create a policy brief using research, data, and the family impact analysis to present the selected issue. Three of my fellow classmates and I completed this project and presented it to the class. The sections I singly developed include: "What's the Issue?," "Background," and "References."
Foster Care Placement Washington State discusses the process of becoming a foster parent in Washington. Applicants must be at least 21, employed, pass a TB test and background check, and complete PRIDE training. The PRIDE program provides 40 hours of required training. Social workers and licensure staff make placements and ensure homes meet standards. Culture, religion, and economic status are also addressed - gay couples and single applicants can foster, and no discrimination based on religion is allowed in placements. Interested individuals should contact their local social service agency for more information.
The Parliamentary Inquiry found that access to good quality, affordable childcare is particularly important for families with disabled children due to their increased risk of poverty. However, many families reported being unable to work due to a significant lack of suitable childcare options and higher costs of care for disabled children. The Inquiry heard that this lack of childcare forces some parents out of the workforce and others to work fewer hours than desired. Recommendations were made to address barriers to access, affordability, availability and inclusion of childcare for disabled children.
Mediation allows parents going through a separation to discuss arrangements for their children with a neutral mediator, avoiding court proceedings and potential acrimony. Research shows children cope better if parents cooperate. The mediator may consult children if appropriate, to understand their views without pressure or divided loyalty. Pensions are an important financial consideration in separation but often overlooked; the mediator can help gather information and explain options for division. A new local contact center offers unique services like transport, overnight stays, and pre-visits to support children spending time with both parents after separation.
Martin Narey, the Adoption Czar, delivers a speech to professionals in adoption. He discusses his background working with offenders and at Barnardo's, which led him to understand the link between being in care and criminal behavior later in life. He became convinced that more children needed the permanence of adoption. However, he notes that his views have been misrepresented in the media. He clarifies that he does not oppose kinship care or post-adoption support, and wants to see more research on special guardianship breakdowns. He argues that adoption should be considered for young children when family support is not possible, but fostering is preferable for older children.
This document summarizes a student paper that examines the effect of mandated paid maternity leave on fertility rates in 10 OECD countries from 1970 to 2012. The student uses regression analysis with panel data to analyze the relationship between paid maternity leave and fertility rates while controlling for other factors. The analysis includes regressions with different lag periods to account for delayed effects of policy changes. The results in the four tables in the Appendix show that mandated paid maternity leave has no statistically significant effect on fertility rates.

One in seven Canadian children live in low-income households, negatively impacting their development. Children from low-income families score lower on academic assessments and have worse health outcomes. Their cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development suffers from inadequate access to quality childcare, healthcare, nutrition, and parental involvement. While programs exist to help, like Head Start, they are insufficient to lift families out of poverty. Caregivers must understand these challenges and support impacted children through responsive care, additional resources, and patience. Ultimately, more government assistance is needed so children's development is not defined by their family's income.
Ghost wrote an op-ed for two child care activists -- one an early childhood educator and mom in New Mexico; the other a mom advocate in Michigan -- to share their stories and connect the issue to the upcoming 2020 election.
The document summarizes the key points of the UK government's 2003 Green Paper titled "Every Child Matters". It outlines the five outcomes that policies aim to achieve for children: being healthy, staying safe, enjoying life and learning, positive contribution, and economic well-being. It also discusses early intervention and information sharing between agencies, the role of parents in children's outcomes, and developing a common assessment framework to reduce duplication of assessments. The goal is to improve support for children and reduce issues like educational failure, abuse, teenage pregnancy, and criminal behavior.
This document is a grant proposal from New Hanover Child Advocates requesting $225,000 in funding. It aims to advocate for abused and neglected children in New Hanover County who are in the legal system without representation. The program will recruit and train volunteer Guardian Ad Litems to advocate for children in court and ensure they do not get lost in the overburdened system or placed inappropriately. Guardian Ad Litems will visit children monthly and represent their best interests to the judge. The goal is to give children more attention to find a safe permanent home and reduce chances of reentering foster care.
This paper focuses on the Government’s announced intention to make it obligatory to include the name of an unmarried father on a child’s birth certificate (such registration is currently voluntary and, in the absence of a court order, requires the agreement of both mother and father).

Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center
East Lansing, Michigan
This document discusses how to be a good boss. It notes that 75% of employee stress is caused by bosses and 50% of bosses do not have effective relationships with employees. This can hurt company culture and performance. Good bosses coach for success, listen, and treat employees well. They are servant leaders who help employees succeed and reach their potential. The document recommends bosses conduct a 360 assessment to get feedback on their leadership and areas for improvement in order to continuously develop as effective leaders.
The document discusses the tradition of presenting retiring Navy service members with a "shadow box" at their retirement ceremony. It describes how the shadow box tradition originated in the late 1700s when commanding officers would gift departing officers memorabilia boxes. Over time, enlisted sailors adopted the tradition of presenting a box filled with the retiree's accumulated items at their ceremonies. Modern shadow boxes now contain standard items like medals, flags, and insignia representing the retiree's career accomplishments. The author recounts receiving their own shadow box in 2011, presented by their former mentor who included a story highlighting their time served together.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities.

“Child Support? No Support For Non-Custodial Parent”
A topic that has taken a back seat to other issues like the bad economy, high gas prices, public
education, transportation reform and emergency financial managers, child support reform deserves just
as much if not more attention. When child support laws were first introduced to society, the reform was
definitely needed. The majority of households consisted of the traditional mom, dad and children
format. After radical movements gave women more rights, we noticed an increase in single family
homes. It would be unfair to say it was because of the woman’s movement this happened, so I will say
a combination of men wanting it all and women able to now say , they cant have it all, lead to the
increase in single parent homes. During this era most women were home makers and did not posses the
necessary skills to compete for good jobs. That, coupled with the pay scales leaning towards the men,
women were left in poverty raising children by themselves. According to James Gross the author of
“Father's Rights” this caused the child support laws to become especially radical. Those days are long
gone and those concerns are no longer issues. The tables have turned, women compete with men in the
work force and are educated at the same rate, as a matter of fact, according to Andrew Cohen, the
author of “Advocating the non-resident parent”, women are educated more than men in some cases.
Since, the tables have turned and the non-custodial parents have been forced to suffer unfairly because
of the current child support laws. The fact of the matter is, child supports laws are unfair for the non-
custodial parent and must be changed.
2. Child support conversations either for or against the law were unheard of years ago. Now, with
the alarming number of single parent homes, it has become the talk of the town. Women and Men alike
are suffering the same because of the law. The good side of the law is, much needed revenue and
resources have been generated for custodial parents. The bad side is, the non-custodial parent on many
occasions have been left without enough money to support themselves and their family. A personal
interview conducted at the Veterans Hospital in Detroit Michigan with a person who would like to
remain nameless, reveals what one would hope, but is not, an isolated case. This person is working
solely for medical benefits, he actually receives a check for 2 cents every two weeks because of
monthly support and arrears’s requirements. Another case study who is an AT&T employee willingly
volunteered his testimonial with name, Kenneth Nichols, says he worked overtime for a year and the
child support courts awarded the custodial parent child support based on an eighty hour work week vice
the traditional forty hour work week. When protested, the courts findings were, since he has the ability
to make that amount of money , therefore the support remains. This has left him unable to have a good
quality of life for himself and subsequently depressed. From a grandparents perspective; Yvonne Felton
is raising her grandson but the biological mother gets child support for the same child. The courts
refuse to relieve the father of support obligations because of state benefit she receives. These examples
are not isolated cases but the new normal according to James Gross the author of Father Rights( A legal
guide protecting the best interest of your children).
My experience with child support comes with mixed feelings. I have five children and have
been in the child support system for 15 years. The first eleven years were very fair and the system
really worked and allowed for visitation and fair distributions of resources which productively
benefited the children. Since the system was fair this enabled me to start another family without
3. financial repercussion from child support obligations. There is a situation that has not been address by
the courts legally and leaves to much discretion for the judge. Without going to far into the weeds, this
marriage was dissolved and one child was born. This one child actually trumped the existence of the
other children. This child was awarded the majority of my resources leaving the responsibility for
support for the other children almost non-existent for me. Child support reform should visit issues like
this and make standard by laws that prevent judges from having to much latitude.
Child support payments are assessed to high, forcing men and women alike into poverty. With
the current system, one of the most over-looked consequence is the right to see the child. The non-
custodial parents do not have time to spend with the child because they are constantly working trying to
meet child support obligations and maintain some type of quality of life. According to the Office of
child support enforcement administration for children and families Department of Health and Human
Services(July 2009), many child access visitation programs were launched and tracked with the intent
to improve both parent relationships with the child. This program was designed to get more money to
the custodial parent and give the child access to both biological parents. In the beginning of this
program the results appeared promising, the non-custodial parents were back to work generating child
support payments, but the research revealed the non-custodial parent did not increase time spent with
the children.
Child support was designed to prevent financial despair of the custodial parent, now it puts the
financial burden on the non-custodial parent. According to the Non-Custodial Parent(Summaries of
Research, Grant and Practices Child Support Enforcement Fiscal Year 2010 Preliminary Report), non-
Custodial parents are paying more child support but are not involved in the children's lives. All states
report improvement in support generated but according to the OCSE-157, line 4, child support cases
only increased by .5 percent. This means the revenue was generated by existing cases. Money from
4. arrears and increases in current cases were responsible for the revenue generated making life hard for
the non-custodial parent that paid. The .5 percent increase in cases was not responsible for new
revenue. In accordance with OCSE-396A line 9 column A through D beginning in 2008 and OCSE-
396AA line 7, A through D ending 2009, the increase in child support enforcement techniques did not
lead to more revenue but more consequences for the non paying parent like loss of drivers license and
jail time. The Non-custodial parents really did not have relationships with their children once this
began.
Although the child support enforcement agency is bringing in billions of dollars in revenue
nation-wide helping custodial parents, it does not resolve the access to the child concern. The custodial
parents remain the gatekeepers for the non-custodial parents access to the children. The agency is in
charge of money only and have no legal rights to assist the non-custodial parents access to the child. In
an interview with the 21 year child support enforcement agent Mrs. A. Southall, of the Portsmouth
Virginia child support enforcement agency, she says “I have seen it all”. “It is sad, we see things that
are not fair but it is not our job to intervene.” Some of the custodial parents have in excess of six
different non-custodial parents getting money from everyone of them. “I believe in the system and we
retrieve money from many dead beats, but we see just as many cases that are not fair to the non-
custodial parent also.” Mrs Southall's experience help me get some resolution in my case.
It is apparent that the child support enforcement system is broken. My research concludes that
child support is necessary but the current system is broken. Many advocates agree that a better system
could benefit both the custodial and non-custodial parents. The current systems according to the child
support enforcement 2010 preliminary report generated 26.6 billion dollars. The “Non-custodial
parents and Summaries for Research, Grants and Practices(July 2009) reveals the reason for this is
5. increase in unemployment, federal tax and back to work programs for the non-custodial parents. The
non-custodial parent earn on average 12 dollars an hour of which they seen an average of 3 of those
dollars. This is not fair and other programs should be developed to improve the system.
Non-custodial parents have it hard in today's child support enforcement world. A new system
should be implemented to help the parents resolve issues that make no sense. With arrears set at fifty
and sixty thousand dollars, child support relief and forgiveness programs should be considered.
Consideration for the well being of the non custodial parent should be a part of the awards process, not
just numbers. Also, improving the judicial review is a must because judges are far removed from the
blue-collar worker and appear to not understand the consequences of their decisions.
The child support collected by agencies access a 6 percent tax on all cases(OCSE-396A report pg. 1),
the money should be used better. With that said, legal representation should be free for non-custodial
parents because it is impossible to wiggle through the legal system without one and with the system
the way it is it is impossible to pay for representations. Another solution should be counseling
programs should be free because the stress associated with this program is a documented problem.
Finally, my research has concluded that the child support enforcement program is flawed and serious
reform is needed.
