While such transfer of a case from one county to another is discretionary, where the crucial witnesses and evidence are located in the county of respondent’s residence, it may be abuse of discretion to deny the transfer motion. See, Silva v. Superior Court (Silva) (1981) 119 Cal. App. 3d 301, 304 (abuse of discretion to deny spouse’s transfer motion when spouse and custodial parent attested to economic, educational and financial disruption of family unit if venue continued in county of other spouse’s residence.) In the instant case, key witnesses regarding custody/visitation and child support issues reside in NameofCounty County.
An agency relationship is where a principal engages an agent to carry out various duties on his or her behalf. This relationship involves delegating decision making powers to the agent by the principle; hence trust is a fundamental requirement for it to succeed. In this scenario, I’m known as the principal and Delilah is known as the agent. Our agreement is that Delilah will negotiate the contract for wood pulp with the third parties. When determining the liability of the contracts made by the agent, the liability is based on whether or not the identity of the principal was made known to the third party at the time the contract was being negotiated.
me year. An attempt give an emergency motion to delay the procedure flopped and the guardian, ordered to oversee the termination of the sources of nutrition and hydration to the patient. This is according to an application by Robert and Mary Schiavo (2005) on behalf of their daughter. How did this case reach the point one may ask, and the explanation is quite intriguing. The patient, Theresa Schiavo married Michael Schiavo in 1984 and they had six years of a normal marriage.
Our clients also did not attempt to notify or contact the natural father, as we assumed that the couple received an anonymous voluntary donation along with a full waiver of parental rights, which is a mandatory procedure of the Smith Institute. Two weeks ago, Mr. Faulkner arrives at the Lewis’ residence, demanding that he is granted visitation rights in the future along with a request to receive a large amount of money to compensate for separation from his biological daughter. Mr. Faulkner states that if the Lewis’ do not comply with his requests, then he will contact authorities and mandate to have his daughter “returned” to
In this scenario, Delilah and I have an agency relationship. “In an agency relationship between two parties, one of the parties, called the agent, agrees to represent or act for the other, called the principal (Miller, Hallowell, 2011). In this case, I am the principal and Delilah is my agent. Meaning, we both agree that she will act on behalf and instead of me in negotiating and transacting business with third parties. An agent is also empowered to perform legal acts that are binding on the principal and can bind a principal in a contract with a third person.
Caterina Maria Romula de Medici was born on April 13, 1519. Lorenzo II de Medici, Duke of Urbino,*[1] died six days after her birth from syphilis and tuberculosis. Her mother, Madeleine de La Tour d’Auvergne, the daughter of a royal princess, passed away of complications 15 days after her birth. Orphaned, but quite valuable due to her royal blood and inheritance, Catherine was a central figure for control of the papacy and the throne. The Medici’s through careful marriage matches and taking control of the financial banking[2], rose to power as papal bankers after the Black Plague in 1348-49.
Before we can begin to look at what Baker says of the ‘myth of the monolithic family’, we first need to attempt to define what a family actually is (and this is a very difficult task!). Baker shows that when we think about families, we usually base our initial thoughts one our own close relationships. If we study families from a sociological perspective, we must put aside our personal assumptions about what constitutes a ‘normal’ family (Baker, 2001, p2) and what this ‘normal’ family should look like. This definition is also confirmed by Aspin, who says that when we study the family “it is difficult to ignore our beliefs about what a family is, what a family should be, and what a family should do for its members” (1987, p1). These definitions from Baker and Aspin already show that there will be many, many different ideas and ideals of what a family could, would and should be.

In my opinion, the theoretical perspective described in the articles by Gelles which I believe provides the most useful explanation for family violence as a social problem is the resource theory. According to Gelles, “The resource theory of family violence assumes that all society systems (including the family) rest to some degree on force or the threat of force. The more resources – social, personal, and economic – a person can command, the more force he or she can muster” (Gelles, p.307) But later on the paragraph Gelles began to reference to William Goode (1971) where when a person has more resources the less likely force will be used as a solution. For example, when a guy who does not have a high position at work and is always looked down upon, he might take his frustration at home where he can be more dominant and feel more powerful as a man. Men usually need to feel like they have control over something in their life.
The number of divorces did in fact increase over the course of the century, as did the perception that the family was in a state of crisis. Adding to the angst, women's rights advocates such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton began to promote divorce as a tool for women's emancipation from bad marriages (DuBois, 1998). An organized antidivorce movement arose by about 1870 (Grossberg, 1985), reacting both to the rise in divorce and to the campaign for women's rights (see Coltrane & Adams, 2003; also Faludi, 1991). The leaders of the movement, organized as the National League for the Protection of the Family,1 consisted largely of White male clergy, lawyers, judges, academics, and politicians. One of their primary tasks involved motivating an "educational" campaign to associate divorce with family breakdown and social disorder (Dike, 1888), a project that we might today view as akin to an antidivorce public relations campaign.
