bastardy process

Read a random definition: Pecuniary

A quick definition of bastardy process:

A Bastardy Process is when a court decides if a man is the father of a child who was born when the parents were not married. This usually happens when the mother wants the father to pay child support. It is also called a Paternity Suit or Paternity Action.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal process, also known as a paternity suit, used to determine whether a person is the father of a child born out of wedlock. This process is usually initiated by the mother in order to obtain child support from the father.

Examples:

  • A woman files a paternity suit against a man she believes to be the father of her child, in order to establish legal paternity and obtain child support.
  • A man denies that he is the father of a child and requests a paternity test to be conducted as part of the bastardy process.

These examples illustrate how the bastardy process, or paternity suit, is used to legally establish the father of a child and obtain child support. It is often initiated by the mother, but can also be requested by the alleged father in order to prove or disprove paternity.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
