Book Description
Matt Fry, middle-aged and set in his humdrum ways, wants peace above all else: to coast through his job, to relax by the pool in his south Florida condo, to survive his daughters adolescence, and to maintain his twenty-year-old marriage on a fairly even keel. Such, however, is not his fate. The first sign of trouble is the reappearance, after a long and welcome absence, of Matts former college roommate Sandor Rossenblum. Matt has long since abandoned his career as a newspaper columnist, but Sandors has flourished: with two Pulitzer prizes under his belt, his very existence is an affront; even worse, he hasnt lost his taste for practical jokes, nor (apparently) for attractive women like Matts wife Barb. Sandor wastes no time in insinuating himself back into his old friends life. Things arent much quieter at the office. Its enough that Matt has to contend with the baseball metaphors constantly hurled at him by his boss, Smilin Jack, and the vitriol hurled at him by his rival, Snarlin Marlon; on top of this, his nubile teenage secretary has discovered that shes pregnant with no father in sight and Matt agrees to help her break the news to her redneck, fundamentalist Christian parents. A host of other people seem to be conspiring to distrurb Matts fragile equilibrium. His fifteen-year-old daughter Jess seems to be getting surlier and sluttier by the day; his friend Aaron is exhorting him to engage in extramarital flings; his voluptuous neighbor Anne torments him with her habit of sprawling, nearly naked, by the pool every morning. Then theres Jerzy Kowalski, the agencys newest client, whos invented a new kind of shirt that he thinks will take the fashion world by storm. Matt has to handle this exuberant entrepreneur with kid gloves. None of this, however, compares to the bombshell that Barb drops on Matt one fine day when she is conveniently out of town. She slaps him with a lawsuit, alleging that the vows they exchanged during their hippie marriage, some twenty years before, compel him to provide her with a second child. Not only is this just about the last thing Matt wants: it would also require him to undergo a reversal of the vasectomy he had not long after Jesss birth. When she returns home, Barb is intransigent. Nothing Matt says can dissuade her. She advises him to hire an attorney, but Matt knows the deck is stacked against him: a popular public prosecutor, Barb is well-known and well-liked by everyone at the county courthouse. Sandor is delighted with this motherlode of material for his column, and threatens to turn the affair into a major media circus. Paternity Suit is the story of how Matt survives or fails to survive the lawsuit, his friends and family, his job, and his midlife crisis.

Book Description
'Truth telling and truth recovery have seldom been as heart-breaking or necessary as in this powerful story of human vulnerability and failure - and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.' JOE DUFFY At only five months old, John Cameron was abandoned in a Dublin orphanage, and fostered out as a child labourer by age three. In 1944 when he turned eight, he was incarcerated in Artane Industrial School, where he became boy 11963. Now in his mid-eighties, John Cameron tells his shocking but inspirational story for the first time. As a child, reduced to a number, he survived savage assaults, sexual abuse and the tragic deaths of children around him. Along with other forgotten boys, he battled for his life against the heartless adversity of the church and the Irish state. As a young man - a much-loved schoolteacher devoted to his growing family - John was haunted by his unknown past and embarked on a lifelong quest to unravel the truth about his origins. Buried in a labyrinth of lies, he finally uncovered a story of forbidden love and passion that scandalised rural Ireland and made national headlines in the 1930s. Boy 11963 is a unique account of overcoming almost insurmountable obstacles to find out who you truly are.

Book Description
This study focuses on the paternity suit which is one of the ways to establish the paternity between the natural child and his/her father. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of paternity suit and examine the reforms on paternity suit brought about by Turkish Civil Code, no. 4721. Within the scope of the study, the statements and opinions of the doctrine mentioned, the changes made in the legislation during the process were emphasized, comparisons were made with the Turkish Civil Code no. 743 and Supreme Court's decisions on the concerned portions were included. The paternity between the natural child and the father was subject to the same provisions as the relationship between the legitimate child and the father at this point after the regulations were made. Paternity suit, which is considered to be a retroactive constitutive lawsuit, aims to establish a paternity (lineage) relationship between the natural child and the father. The mother can claim material and immaterial compensation apart from or along with the paternity suit from the father or his successors. The plaintiff of the paternity suit is either the mother or the child; the defendant is the father or his successors if he is deceased. The suit is notified to the public prosecutor and the treasury, to the trustee if it is filed by the mother, to the mother if it is filed by the trustee. Those who are notified of the case, are allowed participation in the proceedings as a secondary intervening party or they can also remain indifferent. Paternity suit is filed in a one-year period of prescription as of the date of birth, at the Civil Court of First Instance located in the parties' residential area when the child is born if the parties reside in Turkey. Moreover, the law issued presumption of paternity in favour of the plaintiff. However; the plantiff may confute and rebut this presumption. In the cases where the presumption is nondemonstrable, either the mother or the child must directly prove the paternity of the plaintiff. The principle of ex officio examination is effective in paternity suit. Therefore, the judge freely appraises the demonstrations. The presumption of paternity, may be proven by cognisance, brief, definitive judgment and any kind of proof; however, it is impossible to tender an oath. Paternity, on the other hand, may be proven by expert examining. Experts determine paternity by full blood examination and similarity examination. DNA tests, a type of full blood examinations, are a much more reliable method for the determination of paternity compared to blood groups and similarity examinations. Thus, the determination of paternity through DNA tests is accurate. Paternity suit can be called off if the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit. However; the lawsuit does not terminate when the defendant accepts the lawsuit and there is not a possibility of settlement of claim. In the event that the defendant's paternity is determined in the paternity suit, the child takes the mother's surname; earns the citizenship and heirship of the father. As a rule, the mother has the custody of the child. The mother and the father cover the maintenance and education expenses of the child. The mother and the father are obliged to help, respect and understand each other, which is required for the peace and integrity of the family. Whether or not it is possible to renew the adjudication is clear after the verdict was given, by taking into account the data obtained by the methods such as DNA tests and so on, against a verdict that was definitive by the end of the paternity suit in a period where these methods were not used.

Book Description
“In this rigorous and beautifully researched volume, Milanich considers the tension between social and biological definitions of fatherhood, and shows how much we still have to learn about what constitutes a father.” —Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity For most of human history, the notion that paternity was uncertain appeared to be an immutable law of nature. The unknown father provided entertaining plotlines from Shakespeare to the Victorian novelists and lay at the heart of inheritance and child support disputes. But in the 1920s new scientific advances promised to solve the mystery of paternity once and for all. The stakes were high: fatherhood has always been a public relationship as well as a private one. It confers not only patrimony and legitimacy but also a name, nationality, and identity. The new science of paternity, with methods such as blood typing, fingerprinting, and facial analysis, would bring clarity to the conundrum of fatherhood—or so it appeared. Suddenly, it would be possible to establish family relationships, expose adulterous affairs, locate errant fathers, unravel baby mix-ups, and discover one’s true race and ethnicity. Tracing the scientific quest for the father up to the present, with the advent of seemingly foolproof DNA analysis, Nara Milanich shows that the effort to establish biological truth has not ended the quest for the father. Rather, scientific certainty has revealed the fundamentally social, cultural, and political nature of paternity. As Paternity shows, in the age of modern genetics the answer to the question “Who’s your father?” remains as complicated as ever.

Book Description
How are men reacting to, perceiving, and behaving in light of the changes in gender roles. Here is an important volume that provides new and interesting reading about contemporary husbands and fathers. Men’s Changing Roles in the Family, offers an overview of the causes and consequences of changes in men’s family roles in recent decades. Experts introduce you to the issues, problems, and methods on the cutting edge of those disciplines that study men in the context of their families. Until now relatively little has been known empirically about men in contemporary families, and even less has been known about husbands and fathers from direct reports of the men themselves. This groundbreaking volume successfully closes this gap in the literature with an examination of the effects that fathers’growing involvement with their children have on their wives and themselves; a clinical assessment of some men’s angry reactions to separation and divorce and those special therapeutic goals and strategies that may help reduce their distress; examinations of the conflicting demands of the work world and the family upon some contemporary husbands and fathers and the negative effects of nonstandard work schedules upon men’s family life; and an examination of factors that make many men unhappy in patriarchal family structures. Men’s Changing Roles in the Family also contributes toward breaking new ground by examining family roles now performed by special groups of men. Finally, this important volume reports empirical findings about men in family-like relationships, illustrating evidence for the unique roles that male caregivers can offer children in day-care centers and reviewing current empirical studies of men’s friendships and their development.
