application Contents Background Potential future challenges to the application of CIPA in public libraries The Viability of future legal challenges to CIPA Background (United States v. American Library Association, application of the law in public libraries and school libraries. As such, the Supreme Court decision upholding CIPA does not foreclose future legal challenges to CIPA. In fact, some of the opinions in the case by Justices who upheld the law actually encourage future legal challenges if the application of the law creates limitations on free speech for adults. Typically, when the Supreme Court decides an issue, their decision is the final word on a legal issue. However, the decision in this case is unusual in that the case only decided the text of the law did not include provisions that, based on the way in which they were written, would clearly infringe on the First Amendment right of freedom of speech. The decision did not address whether the application of the law would also avoid infringing on constitutionally protected rights of free speech. Future legal challenges to CIPA, if they occur, would be based on the application of the law in public libraries and could potentially be raised by library patrons or by professional library organizations.

Search for Products Search Entire Site Search Glossary home Child Custody and Visitation Parenting Agreements Child Visitation FAQ ... Online Divorce Documents Prepared by LegalZoom Types of Custody Learn the difference between legal custody, physical custody, sole custody, and joint custody. Legal Custody Legal custody of a child means having the right and the obligation to make decisions about a child's upbringing. A parent with legal custody can make decisions about schooling, religion, and medical care, for example. In many states, courts regularly award joint legal custody, which means that the decision making is shared by both parents. If you share joint legal custody with the other parent and you exclude him or her from the decision-making process, your ex can take you back to court and ask the judge to enforce the custody agreement. You won't get fined or go to jail, but it will probably be embarrassing and cause more friction between the two of you which may harm the children. What's more, if you're represented by an attorney, it's sure to be expensive. If you think you have circumstances that make it impossible to share joint legal custody (the other parent won't communicate with you about important matters or is abusive), you can go to court and ask for a change in custody so that you have sole legal custody. But, in many states, you will have to overcome a presumption that joint legal custody is preferable.

91. MALDEF - Fair Share And Equal Access MALDEF accomplishes public resource equity by monitoring land use decisions, to provide Medicaid coverage to poor, legal immigrant women and children, http://www.maldef.org/fair/

Fair Share and Equal Access Safeguarding the Latino community's access to public services is one of MALDEF's greatest concerns. MALDEF's Public Resource Equity Program seeks to ensure that the needs of Latinos are considered equally for the distribution of funds. MALDEF accomplishes public resource equity by monitoring land use decisions, the distribution of public resources, the administration and delivery of public services, and by ensuring the availability of bilingual public agencies. Through these means, MALDEF secures greater access for the Latino community to health, housing and youth and family services. As the Latino community and its yearly tax contribution to the nation grows, the Public Resource Equity Program seeks to ensure that Latinos receive their fair share of public resources. This requires that MALDEF closely monitor the legislative process at each state level. This year in California, for example, MALDEF examined and produced budget summary documents based on the Governor's proposed budget year. MALDEF distributed its findings to assist various public agencies, including a group of health care advocates who work to expand health care access for California's 7.4 million uninsured residents, as well as to a coalition of children's advocates seeking increased funding for family support programs through the state budget and legislative process. Further, MALDEF provided extensive oral and written comments to the California State Commission on the implementation guidelines for Proposition 10, the tobacco tax set to fund early childhood development for California's infants and toddlers. As a result the state commission guidelines now explicitly recognize that all young children are eligible for initiative-funded programs, regardless of their immigration status. At MALDEF'S urging, the funding distribution guidelines also included commitments to create childcare facilities in urban Latino communities, to focus on the issue of pesticide exposure to children of farm workers, to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate media/outreach efforts and to utilize a diversity task force as part of the program.

Pavlick v. Teresinski Savoy v. Savoy, involved an elderly parent whose reasonable care and maintenance expenses exceeded her monthly Social Security income. The court found that she was indigent, making her relatives liable for support. So to be poor does not always mean completely broke, according to judicial interpretations of filial responsibility statutes. Medicaid and Long-Term Care. Less than one-third of older Americans are able to pay for two or three years of nursing home care, according to a recent study published by AARP. As baby boomers who have failed to adequately prepare for old age retire, there will be fewer seniors with the means to pay for such care. In turn, the financial stress will become even greater on government. Some middle income Americans are essentially using Medicaid as an inheritance protection plan. In addition to transfers, these elderly convert assets into items that are not included in income and asset tests. The value of these excludable assets vary from state to state, but can encompass a home, car, burial plot and so forth. Furthermore, some elderly spouses divorce in order to split and protect assets. Enforcement of filial responsibility statutes could make much of this asset shifting irrelevant.
