Inheritance Corpus Excluded from Child Support Obligations under the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines\u27 Definition of Income: \u3cem\u3eHumphreys v. DeRoss\u3c/em\u3e

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that the corpus of an inheritance is excluded from child support calculations under the Support Guidelines definition of income. However, the court noted that the best interest analysis can allow for an upward deviation from the guideline amount when the fact finder determines that the inheritance is a factor which makes more income available for support.

DISTRIBUTION OF INHERITANCE BASED ON INHERITANCE LAWS THAT APPLY IN INDONESIA A STUDY OF THE EXISTENCE OF A SUBSTITUTE INHERITANCE (PLAATSVERVULLING)

Abstract The law of inheritance is a series of provisions in which in connection with the death of a person, the consequences in the material field are regulated, namely: the result of the transfer of inheritance from a deceased person to an heir, both in their relationship between themselves and with a third party. The inheritance law system in Indonesia still has a plurality of legal arrangements, among others, there are three inheritance law systems that are valid and accepted by the Indonesian people, namely for native Indonesian citizens the customary inheritance law is still in effect which is regulated according to the composition of the customary community, which is patrilineal, matrilineal and parental / bilateral. In addition, Muslim families carry out inheritance in accordance with Islamic inheritance law. While some people use civil inheritance law. This type of research used in writing this thesis is normative legal research that focuses on positive law. Normative legal research is research that uses statutory analysis as primary legal material. The primary legal material is also supported by books, expert opinion, mass media, newspapers and magazines as secondary legal materials. Because our country adheres to positive law, in other words we obey and obey a set of principles and rules of written law that are currently in force and are binding in general or specifically and must be enforced. In this case the distribution of inheritance can be carried out based on Customary Law, Islamic Law and the Civil Code, therefore for the distribution of inheritance it must remain in the corridor of each law, here we discuss this inheritance problem using Permendagri No. 52 of 2014 concerning Guidelines for the Recognition and Protection of Indigenous Law Communities, Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 1991 concerning Compilation of Islamic Law and the Civil Code. Keywords: customary inheritance law, Islamic inheritance law, civil inheritance law

The ethics of genetic research on intelligence

Should research on the possible genetic components of human intelligence be carried out? I first try to provide some general guidelines as to whether any particular piece of research should be undertaken and then consider the specific example of the ethics of genetic research on intelligence. The history of the debate on intelligence does not make one very optimistic that the fruits of such research would be used wisely. However, there are indications that people's understanding of the nature of inheritance may be improving and it could be that such research might have significant benefits. It is worth remembering than the condition phenylketonuria, a genetic disease in any useful sense of the term, and one that leads to mental retardation (i.e. very low intelligence), is now wholly preventable, and indeed very largely prevented, through environmental intervention

Familial Ménière's disease: clinical and genetic aspects

ABSTRACT Background and purpose:Mre's disease is not uncommon, with an incidence in Caucasians of about one in 2000. The incidence peaks in the fifth decade. Cases are usually isolated or sporadic, but in perhaps five per cent other family members are affected. We report here the clinical and genetic characteristics of a comprehensive set of familial Mre's disease cases from the UK.Methods:Forty-six affected families were studied. All cases were diagnosed using the American Academy of Otolaryngolog 8211;Head and Neck Surgery committee on hearing and equilibrium 1995, or more stringent, criteria.Outcomes and results:Autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance was the most likely mode of inheritance overall. Apparent genetic anticipation was observed, but may also be a result of ascertainment bias given the collection strategy. There was also a slight tendency for cases to result from maternal transmission within the families in this set. The family pedigrees are presented, and the authors have also set up a website at which all the pedigrees may be viewed in greater detai

An empirical study of aspect-oriented metrics

Metrics for aspect-oriented software have been proposed and used to investigate the benefits and the disadvantages of crosscutting concerns modularisation. Some of these metrics have not been rigorously defined nor analytically evaluated. Also, there are few empirical data showing typical values of these metrics in aspect-oriented software. In this paper, we provide rigorous definitions, usage guidelines, analytical evaluation, and empirical data from ten open source projects, determining the value of six metrics for aspect-oriented software (lines of code, weighted operations in module, depth of inheritance tree, number of children, crosscutting degree of an aspect, and coupling on advice execution). We discuss how each of these metrics can be used to identify shortcomings in existing aspect-oriented software. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Realizing women's rights to land and other productive resources

The purpose of this publication is to provide detailed guidance for lawmakers and policymakers, as well as civil society organizations and other stakeholders, to support the adoption and effective implementation of laws, policies and programmes to respect, protect and fulfil women's rights to land and other productive resources. It is based on the results of an expert group meeting held on 25-27 June 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland, during which papers were presented from various sectors and regions. These papers, and the discussions which were informed by them, helped to bring to the surface many of the critical issues facing women today in relation to the enjoyment of their land rights. The publication also incorporates additional case studies submitted by key experts, as well as extensive thematic research

Legal Issues, Judicial Analysis, And Domicile Planning To Avoid State Inheritance Tax Using Tennessee

This paper examines the pitfalls and planning opportunities for taxpayers attempting to change domicile from our case study state, Tennessee, to avoid Tennessee inheritance tax to a state that doesnt have such taxes. Various court cases and state tax authority will be examined in order to synthesize the issues and formulate some general guidelines to assist taxpayers and their advisors in successfully using a change of domicile as a tool in state estate tax planning. A leading New Jersey case will be examined as an example of the consequences of unsuccessful state domicile planning causing the taxpayer to be subject to state inheritance tax in multiple states
