How Child Custody Can Affect Your Child’s Education

Experienced family lawyers will tell you that often, when two people who have a child separate and then get divorced, they don’t realize that they may be simply exchanging one set of problems for another. Certainly, you won’t have to live with your former spouse, but you usually still have to have some dealings with them if you have children and more often that not child support will come into it.

Even if you have full custody of your child, robertsonhayles.com.au advise that your ex still has a right to see them. This means you will have to call to arrange times and dates and you may have to take your child to their other parent’s home and pick them up afterwards. Or it may be that they will do all the calling and arranging for pick-ups and drop offs. It doesn’t matter; you still have to talk to them.

What to Gift Your Bridesmaids

Weddings are exciting, especially when you are the bride. But there are also many decisions to be made and what to gift your bridesmaids is one of them. You could choose jewelry, a personalised makeup bag or bridesmaid robes with each one’s name or initial on it. There are many other choices too, of course, but whatever you decide, don’t leave it till the last minute.

Jewellery is a traditional gift, but you won’t always know what your bridesmaids preferences are. It’s good to get them something they can wear or use after the wedding. They’ll think of your happy day whenever they wear it. You can purchase a pendant that will suit the wedding finery and can be worn at the wedding. Otherwise, a brooch or bracelet may be a welcome gift.

Make-up bags are always useful and if their names are on them it makes them very special. Every girl wears make-up of some kind so adding a lipstick or some mascara, or a small bottle of perfume will make the gift even more delightful. Your bridesmaids will be able to slip them into their totes so they can freshen up before the formal photos are taken.

For a naughty alternative, you could buy always adult toys for the more adverturous bride!

How to Make Sure You Can Provide For Your Family

Once you become a parent, suddenly you have a lot more responsibility and some of that is financial. The cost of raising a family seems prohibitive these days, but if you have a financial planner to help you make the most of your income, it will not seem as high.

Financial planning is something that many people don’t understand and hence, don’t attempt. Even those that understand finances don’t always plan their own for the best, because few people can know everything about mortgages, tax, superannuation, investments and so on. It takes someone who is an expert financial advisor to devise the right plan for you.

Don’t accept a generic plan as it won’t take into account your specific goals and circumstances. The best financial plan is one that is made just for you. It should not only take into account your present needs, but look to the future. You may want your children to attend private schools and top universities so that their education is one that will take them in the life direction they choose.

Great First Impressions For Meeting On That First Date

When that online dating profile on the single’s site leads to a fun correspondence, soon it’s time to meet in person. That’s a lot of pressure on both parties to live up to expectations. Here’s a few online dating etiquette tips and hints on how to greet your online date in the real world and have it go as smoothly as possible.

1. Dress up. Men need to hear this more than women. Mates, your T-shirt and jeans just aren’t going to do! Especially you should consider what you plan to do on your first date – are you going to a formal dance, a rugby match, a day at the Renaissance Festival, or a hiking expedition? We don’t mean that you should do a full make-over if it would mean trying to be somebody you’re not, but just pick your best outfit that goes with the mood of the date.

2. Smile! A winning smile and a positive attitude will go a long way. This isn’t always easy if you’ve had to travel – we aren’t all at our crisp best after a red-eye hop on Quantas or a two-day trip on Greyhound. But try your best, anyway!

Divorce Proceedings in a Marriage of Less than Two Years

While divorce proceedings are relatively easy to instigate these days when compared with many years ago, experienced family lawyers will tell you there are still certain rules and regulations in place to make sure the decision to divorce is not an impulsive one that may be regretted at some later date. While divorce is necessary in some cases, it does bring with it a whole new set of problems when there are children of the union.

According to acceleratefamilylaw.com.au, when people who have been married less than two years want to file for a divorce it is essential – and a legal requirement – that they go to counselling first. Their application for divorce will not be heard unless counselling has been tried and failed to accomplish a satisfactory ending to the problems. However, it is often the case that one party may refuse to attend counselling. In this case the other party may go alone or simply request permission of the court to file for divorce.

Advice for Getting Your Boyfriend Back

This site, with what looks like a header ripped directly from the cover of a Harlequin romance novel, has advice on getting a boyfriend back. Most of it sounds dead on.

The single distinguishing factor is whether you were the dumper or the dumpee. If you dumped him, and then changed your mind, you have better chances. Move fast, however, because you don’t want him to get over you, or find somebody to take your place.

If you got dumped, however, there’s one big word I’d recommend to you: change. Change your lifestyle, your attitude, your circumstances, or whatever you find that came between you. Then try once, and only once, more. Anything more than that is just too creepy. Rejected twice, and you’re just going to have to cuddle with the boyfriend pillow until you’re back on your feet.

Online Dating for the Travel Freaks

Dating is surely a fun thing to do wherein you get to meet people, socialize with them and who knows, if you’re lucky, love might just come through too. But is it really that easy to get into any kinda relationships if you’re one of those people who we like to refer as “travel freaks”? You must scaled the peaks of the Mount Everest, surfed in the biggest waves of Australia, had all the fun you wanted to but then there’s still one thing that has always been missing. The lack of companionship, the fact of meeting someone new and having a good time together, it can be pretty frustrating at times.

This is specifically for those who are the lone travelers. I mean c’mon, at the end of the day, after you’re done with your traveling bit, part of you will just be waiting to hit the bed but then there is a part of you that simply wants to get out there and meet someone who shares the same interests as you do. It might be pretty easy for you to walk into a bar and share some glances with a pretty lady across the table. But when it comes to exchanging your digits, you wonder whether you’re doing the right thing because for what you know, you’re not gonna be sticking around that long even to remember her last name. Yeah, that sucks big time.

Why the Future of Dating is Free Online Dating Websites

Sociologists have long tracked the relationship between technology and society. Each new method of communication and transportation changes the way society as a whole behaves.

It makes for a fascinating study all of its own. For example, organized religion didn’t spread on a large scale until the invention of the printing press, for instance, because that made it possible to mass-produce scriptures which could be taken by missionaries to other countries. For another example, the concept of a globally-traded stock market didn’t emerge until the invention of the transcontinental telegraph, with which information could be transmitted while it was still useful.

Technology improvements sometimes come at a price for society, as well. In our modern age, all of the improvements in communications and transportation has resulted in a speeding-up of lifestyle. We do so much more in a day than people 100 years ago could do in a week, and so it is expected of us that we keep that pace up indefinitely. For today’s young adult single is too busy wrapping up their education, establishing their career, and settling into their own lifestyle away from their parents to give much thought to socializing.

Applying the Character – Sheet Model to Online Dating

For those of you who aren’t heavy video gamers, we’re talking about a genre of video games called ‘RPG’s. RPGs, or Role-Playing Games, are where you take a character picked from a set of classes and races and build them through adventure and treasure-hording until you develop the character into an almost godly figure. ‘Winning’ isn’t so much a matter of finishing the goals of the game, as it is in building the strongest character, with bonus satisfaction coming from using your own unique approach.

Famous examples: Blizzard’s ‘World of Warcraft’ and ‘Diablo’ series, Everquest, Earthbound, and Angband and Nethack for a couple of very old games that started out as text. Further, we have ‘Dungeons and Dragons’, in all of it’s many computer-based and table-top based incarnations.
