JERSEY CITY, NJ, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Parenting time and child custody are necessary considerations in divorce agreements where children are involved. This is a particularly difficult process and can result in lengthy legal battles. Ultimately, the courts will determine what is in the best interest of the child. This may require expert testimony from a Child and Family Investigator appointed by the court, or from friends and relatives of the parents and children.
Considerations in Custody Battles
The court will consider several factors when determining the best interest of a child. This can include things such as:
- Each parent's willingness to work together for the benefit of the child
- Any history of domestic violence or child abuse
- The stability of the home environment
- The emotional and mental fitness of the parents
- Each parent's employment responsibilities
- The proximity of each parent's home to the child's school
Older children may be given a say in custody issues as well. If the court determines a child is of sufficient age to decide where they want to be, their preference will be a serious consideration in the court's decision.
Determining Child Support
Child support will be directly affected by parenting time. In the case of a 50/50 split, child support is often a non-issue. However, if one parent makes substantially more than the other parent, or if the custody arrangement is not a straight split, child support will come into play.
Child support in New Jersey is based on several factors including:
- The earning ability of each parent
- The economic circumstances of each parent
- Reasonable debts and liabilities of each parent
- Age and health of each parent
Similar to custody orders, the needs of the child will be the primary determining factor in the amount of child support paid every month. A petition for child support modification can be filed every two years, but barring a change in parenting time, the support itself cannot be discontinued once ordered by the court.

Loch fossils show life harnessed sun and sex early on
2011-04-14
Remote lochs along the west coast of Scotland are turning up new evidence about the origins of life on land.
A team of scientists exploring rocks around Loch Torridon have discovered the remarkably preserved remains of organisms that once lived on the bottom of ancient lake beds as long as a billion (1000 million) years ago.
These fossils illuminate a key moment in the history of evolution when life made the leap from tiny, simple bacterial (prokaryote) cells towards larger, more complex (eukaryotic) cells which would make photosynthesis and sexual reproduction possible.

Experimental treatment for COPD in development
2011-04-14
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have developed a non-steroid based strategy for improving the lung's innate immune defense and decreasing inflammation that can be a problem for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a study published in the April 13 edition of the journal Science Translational Medicine, the Johns Hopkins researchers targeted the Nrf2 pathway using sulforaphane, an ingredient that is present in broccoli in a precursor form, to enhance the Nrf2 pathway in the lung that mediates the uptake of bacteria. ...
Rules of the Road for California Motorcyclists
2011-04-14
California's temperate climate, long stretches of highway and sunny days make it a motorcyclist's dream. Riders can take to the streets all year long, feeling the wind in their hair and enjoying the freedom that can only be felt on a bike. Of course, as gas prices and temperatures continue to climb, more and more motorcycles will be on the road. Before summer riding season gets in full swing, though, it is important for California motorcyclists to know the rules of the road, including two laws unique to motorcycles.

Higher CCSVI prevalence confirmed in MS, but meaning of findings remains unclear
2011-04-14
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A just released study on the relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic cerebral venous insufficiency (CCSVI), a narrowing of the extracranial veins that restricts the normal outflow of blood from the brain, found that CCSVI may be a result of MS, not a cause.
The study, conducted by University at Buffalo researchers, appears in the current issue of Neurology, the journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Your flaws are my pain
2011-04-14
Today, there is increasing exposure of individuals to a public audience. Television shows and the internet provide platforms for this and, at times, allow observing others' flaws and norm transgressions. Regardless of whether the person observed realizes their flaw or not, observers in the audience experience vicarious embarrassment.
For the first time, such vicarious embarrassment experiences as well as their neural basis have been investigated in research published in the open-access, peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE. The research was led by Sören Krach and Frieder M. ...
Study: To students, music piracy and shoplifting are worlds apart
2011-04-14
What's the difference between stealing a CD from a music store and ripping off music online? The music industry and law enforcers say that there is none: Theft is theft, whether it's physical or digital.
College students participating in a newly published study, however, said that while they were unlikely to shoplift and viewed that behavior as immoral, they were not exactly motivated to follow the laws governing digital music piracy -- a finding that underscores the difficulties of enforcing such laws and to find new ways to discourage the theft of all types of digital ...
New fracture resistance mechanisms provided by graphene
2011-04-14
TUCSON, Ariz. and TROY, N.Y. (April 13, 2011) -- A team of researchers from the University of Arizona and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have increased the toughness of ceramic composites by using graphene reinforcements that enable new fracture resistance mechanisms in the ceramic.
The research, lead by Assistant Professor Erica L. Corral from the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and Professor Nikhil Koratkar from the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ...
Sharing the Road -- Lane Sharing and Lane Splitting in Southern California
2011-04-14
Considering the long expanses of picturesque roads and highways in Southern California, it's no surprise that California streets, roads and highways beckon to motorcyclists and their passengers. But the same roads and highways can be gruelish during heavy traffic.
To get through traffic jams more quickly, some motorcyclists lane share -- that is, they use the same lane as cars and trucks that are stopped in traffic. Others bikers sometimes resort to lane splitting -- driving between traffic lanes to pass stopped vehicles.
Lane splitting and lane sharing by bikers ...
Supreme Court Okays Retaliation Suit by Close Relations under Title VII
2011-04-14
The U.S. Supreme Court recently reinstated a retaliation case where a woman's fiance was fired after she had filed a discrimination claim with the EEOC. The Court had to decide if the firing was retaliation and if the fiance was permitted to file a case under Title VII. The Justices answered yes to both questions.
The Retaliation Claim
The Supreme Court had to analyze the facts to determine if the firing was, in fact, retaliation.
The Court described the facts as follows: "Until 2003, both petitioner Eric Thompson and his fiancee, Miriam Regalado, were employees ...
Queen's researchers pioneer needle-free test for premature babies
2011-04-14
Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have pioneered a new needle-free test to take the sting out of medicine testing in premature babies. The research will not only lead to greater accuracy in prescribing, but will also significantly reduce the trauma of such tests for newborn infants and their families.
In the first published research project worldwide on this new approach to testing medicines in children, the findings were announced in leading US medical journal Pediatrics.
The study, which involves the use of blood spots obtained from a simple heel-prick, took ...
