filiation

Read a random definition: patent solicitor

A quick definition of filiation:

Filiation refers to the relationship between a child and their parent. It means being someone's son or daughter. Sometimes, when it is not clear who a child's father is, a court can make a decision about who the father is. This is called a judicial determination of paternity.

In the past, the word "filiation" was used to describe the process of becoming someone's son or daughter. However, this word is not used very often anymore.

Overall, filiation is just a fancy word for the relationship between a child and their parent.

A more thorough explanation:

Filiation refers to the relationship between a child and their parent. It can also refer to the legal determination of paternity.

When a child is born, their filiation is established by their birth certificate, which lists the names of their parents. In cases where paternity is disputed, a filiation order may be issued by a court to determine the biological father.

A filibuster is a tactic used in a legislative body to delay or obstruct the passage of a measure. It involves prolonged and often irrelevant speechmaking.

In the United States Senate, a senator can use a filibuster to prevent a bill from being passed. They can continue speaking for as long as they want, which can delay the vote on the bill. The only way to end a filibuster is by a cloture vote, which requires two-thirds of all members to agree to end the debate.
