support order

Read a random definition: first office action

A quick definition of support order:

A support order is a decision made by a court that says one person (usually a parent) has to give money to another person (usually a child or spouse) to help take care of them. This money can be used for things like food, clothes, and school expenses. It's important because it helps make sure that everyone has what they need to live a good life.

A more thorough explanation:

A support order is a legal decision made by a court that requires one party, usually in a divorce or paternity case, to make regular payments to support a child or spouse. These payments can include expenses for medical care, dental care, and education.

For example, if a couple gets divorced and they have a child together, the court may issue a support order requiring one parent to make regular payments to help support the child's needs. This could include payments for things like school tuition, medical bills, and other expenses related to the child's care.

Another example could be in a paternity case where a man is found to be the father of a child. The court may issue a support order requiring the father to make regular payments to help support the child's needs.

Overall, a support order is a legal tool used to ensure that children and spouses receive the financial support they need to live a healthy and stable life.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on

Ahh well I kinda meant that seriously given I know 3 attorneys who went there and they did immigration law afterwards.

USD actually does really well for immigration in the SoCal region, and is known to have a great clinic.
