Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find the correct forms. Draft your motion. Sign your motion in the presence of a notary. Assemble your motion and make copies. File your motion. Serve your ex-spouse. Attend mediation or pre-trial conferences as required. Appear in court for your hearing.

Answer: Most courts provide a form for divorce decree modifications. Especially in cases involving children, modifications are common as circumstances change.  Keep in mind that after the period for appeal has passed, you can't have the division of property modified. However, any ongoing obligations or responsibilities such as child support, spousal support, or child visitation are subject to modification if circumstances change.  You may have to use a different form depending on whether you want to modify custody and visitation, child support, or spousal support.  Go to the website of the court where your original divorce case was heard and see if there are modification forms available for you to download. You also might find paper forms at the clerk's office. To have a divorce decree modified, you must demonstrate that there has been a significant change in circumstances since the decree was entered. For example, if your ex-spouse recently got a promotion and should be paying more child support as a result, you can have the divorce decree modified to account for this change. In some states such as Alabama, court rules establish a rebuttable presumption that child support should be modified if the new amount calculated using the child support guidelines varies more than 10 percent from the original amount. If you're making factual statements in your motion, you should sign it in front of a notary public.  If you don't know where to find a notary, check and see if your bank provides free notary services to its customers. You also can find notaries at some private businesses such as check-cashing companies, or in the courthouse. Nearly every aspect of child or spousal support and visitation can be modified. If you're the one filing the motion for modification, it's up to you to prove that the change is great enough to require the decree be changed to accommodate it.  For example, suppose your original decree had your kids coming to visit you every other weekend. However, your employer is about to transfer you to a new plant 500 miles away, which would make such frequent travel for such short periods of time unfeasible. In these circumstances, a judge might be willing to enter a modification with a more reasonable visitation schedule. Once you've signed your motion, assemble it and all attachments and make enough copies to send one to your ex-spouse and keep at least one for your records.  Include any evidentiary documents as attachments. For example, if you are requesting the amount of child support be modified because you've changed jobs and have a significant change in income, you might attach copies of paycheck stubs. You also should attach a copy of the original divorce decree. Make sure you have a certificate of service and notice of hearing. These forms usually are available at the same place where you got the forms for your motion. Take your originals and copies to the clerk's office of the court that issued your divorce decree and file your motion to modify.  The clerk will stamp your originals and copies "filed" with the date after you pay the filing fee, usually around $100.  The clerk also will schedule a date and time for your hearing and include this on the notice of hearing attached to your motion. After your motion has been filed, you must send copies to your spouse to provide notice of your request for modification and the hearing scheduled. You can contact the sheriff's department or a private process serving company to serve the papers in person, or you can mail them certified mail. A motion to modify can become as lengthy and formal as a divorce trial itself. For this reason, many jurisdictions require you to complete mediation or attend a pre-trial conference before the motion is heard by a judge. If your ex-spouse continues to contest your request for modification, or you are otherwise unable to reach an agreement, a judge will hear your motion and make a final decision on whether to modify the decree.  Arrive at the courthouse early so you have plenty of time to park and go through security. Dress conservatively and professionally, and bring copies of all the documents you've filed along with any witnesses or evidence you wish to present. In court, rise when your name is called and speak only to the judge. Since you filed the motion, you will have the opportunity to speak first. After you've presented the reasons you believe the decree should be modified, the judge will give your ex-spouse the opportunity to present her side. Do not speak to her directly or interrupt her; speak only to the judge. After hearing both sides and any witnesses, the judge will issue her final ruling on your motion. You may receive the final order that day, or it may be mailed to you later.

Answer: Turn on the water long enough to just get yourself wet, about 30 seconds. Make sure you get your hair and whole body wet in this amount of time, then shut the shower off. With the water off, proceed to lather up your body. Put shampoo in your hair, and rub it in well. Soap up your body. Keep going until you've got your whole body covered in soap suds. While the water is off, take the time to shave. If you need a little water to rinse off your razor from time to time, fill an old cup with water. Then just agitate it in the water to clean it off before moving on. Turn the water back on. Starting with your hair, begin rinsing off the soap. Rinse from the top down so you're not adding soap back to areas you've already rinsed. Leave the shower on just long enough to rinse off your whole body. If you need to use conditioner, turn off the water again, and lather up with conditioner. Once you're done, turn the water on again to rinse it out. Alternatively, use a leave-in conditioner that doesn't need to be rinsed out.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be sensitive to the children’s ages and emotional states. Talk about dating. Shield children from casual dates.

Answer: Realize that children cope differently at different ages, and that children of all ages are likely to be resistant to you dating soon after separating from their other parent. Think about how your child(ren) are likely to react to you going out with other people.  Have your children had the ability to process their emotional issues regarding the separation? Adolescents tend to hide their fears. Children under age 10 tend to be more possessive about their parents. Children frequently have concerns about losing a parent during a separation or divorce. Children of any age should be made aware that just because you are dating, you are not trying to replace their other parent.  Open lines of communication, but don’t overshare. If a child is fine with you dating, end the conversation. Reassure your child that the other person will not replace their other parent or take you away from them. Allow your child to voice concerns and emotions without fear of punishment. Even if your divorce is final and your children appear to be okay that you are dating, you should avoid having them meet every person you date. The children should only meet a person that will likely be around for a while, not casual dates that will likely come and go.  Young children tend to form attachments more easily than adults. If your relationship doesn’t work out, your child may need to deal with the loss of this person, too. If you have not gotten to know this person very well, they may bring some exposures to your children that you would prefer they not be exposed to. Realize that children need time to transition to their new lives with separated parents before new people are added into it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select campaign mode. Start a new campaign and choose "heroic" or "legendary" difficulty. Try to play through the first few stages at least. Think about how difficult the campaign was for you.

Answer:
Making it through the campaign is not a real indicator of your skills in multiplayer, but struggling with it is a definite sign that you won't be among the online elite. These are significantly harder than the easier difficulty levels, and will prove reasonably challenging even to semi-seasoned Halo players. If you can, play through the entire campaign, but you don't have to if you only want a basic evaluation. Ask yourself some basic questions about your performance, and be honest with the answers. If you answer "no" to any of the following questions, you are very likely still a noob.  Could you make progress easily without having to try to die several times fighting the same wave of enemies? Did you always have a good sense of where to go and how to read your radar? Were you able to effectively manage your ammo and other resources? Were you able to drive the vehicles without falling off cliffs or rolling over?
