Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider when this method may be an option. Fill out your court forms. File your forms with the clerk of courts. Serve your documents on the other parent. File your proof of service. Wait 30 days for the other parent's response. Decide whether you have a contested or uncontested case and complete the process.

Answer: Going to court to establish paternity should only be used as a last resort. This method is often utilized when a suspected father is avoiding his legal obligations to a child and the mother wants to establish paternity so the father will be required to fulfill those legal obligations. However, a man can also bring a paternity suit, which often involves the mother not allowing a suspected father visitation and/or custody rights. If you have decided that getting a court order is the best option for you, you must begin the process by accessing and filling out the required court documents. While this article will use California as an example, most states will generally follow the same procedures. In California, you will be required to fill out a Petition to Establish Parental Relationship; a Summons; and a Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.  The Petition to Establish Parental Relationship asks for information including your name, the child's information, and information about what you are asking the court for (e.g., parent-child relationship, child custody, reasonable expenses of pregnancy, and/or costs of litigation).  The Summons is an informational form telling the other parent about the proceedings that have been brought. It states that the other party is being sued and it asks that other party to read the form.  The Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act form asks you to indicate the children involved in the suit you are bringing and asks you to provide their personal information to the court. The form also asks if you have ever been involved in another similar suit with these children before, whether you have ever been the subject of a restraining order or protective order, and whether there are any other parties with custody or visitation rights the the child or children in question. Once you have filled out the required forms, you will file them with the clerk of courts at your county's courthouse. You will be required to pay a filing fee, although if you cannot afford the fee you may be able to file for a fee waiver here. Once you have filed your forms, you will have to serve the papers you filed, as well as a blank Response to Petition to Establish Parental Relationship and a blank Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. You can choose to serve the other parent personally, which involves someone giving the papers to the other parent personally, or you can serve the other parent through the mail, which involves sending the papers to the other parent. Whoever you have serve the other parent will fill out and return a Proof of Service of Summons, which you will then file with the clerk of courts where you filed your original forms. After the other parent is served, they will have 30 days to respond to your suit. The other parent may either respond and agree with your suit or they may respond and challenge your suit. If the other parent responds to your suit and agrees with you that you are the father (or that they are the father), the suit will be uncontested. If, on the other hand, the other parent responds and disputes that you are the father (or that they are the father), the suit will be considered contested.  If the suit is uncontested, you and the other parent will fill out a number of forms found here and you will file them with the clerk of courts. These various forms simply ask you to verify that you understand the consequences of what you are agreeing to and asks you to agree that you are the parent of the child.  If the suit is contested, it is most likely because the alleged father will want a paternity test conducted in order to verify that they (or you) are indeed the father of the child. In this situation, a judge may ask the alleged father to submit a DNA sample, which can be taken by an oral swab or a blood test, and that DNA sample will then be compared to the DNA of the child.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get into the habit of keeping your body straight, like a needle on water. Try floating on your back first. Roll your body slightly side to side and turn your head to the side to breathe. Practice your arm strokes. Practice your flutter kicks. Hold a kickboard or noodle, stretch out with your chin in the water, and kick. Use a water exercise or flotation belt around the waist while improving your skills. Remember to stay safe at all times.

Answer: If your hips are lower than your shoulders, your body will tip upwards, and you won't be able to stay afloat. You can practice this by trying to balance on a bed, bench, or chair. Try to keep your body as straight as possible, with the back of your head between your shoulder blades. Move arms to your side and wave your hands, palms down, away from the hips. This will help you stay afloat and move around.  Back floating is one of the easiest ways to learn how to float. If you are having trouble with this, get someone who is experienced in swimming to help you get into position. Face down to exhale, then turn over onto your chest and stomach. This is the body position for most swimming styles, including freestyle and breaststroke. You can do this in the water, or on a bench/chair. Move your arm behind your head, over your head, and out in front of you in a circular motion. Hold onto the side of the pool, a pool noodle, or a kickboard, and gently kick your legs in a soft, flutter-like motion. Try to keep your toes pointed, and your legs as straight as possible. Don't kick from your knees or kick too hard, as this will create too much drag and slow you down.  This is the basic kick for swimming, be it on the back or face down. Your kicks should be low effort. Harder kicks won't necessarily make you go faster. You can also practice your kicks while balancing upon a bench. Go for 5 to 10 yards (4.6 to 9.1 m) while dipping face in the water to exhale. Do a few laps like this until you get comfortable. You can go the first length keeping your face out of the water, but try to work your way up to where you can swim with your face under the water. This way, you will be able to practice breathing. You may also find it easier to swim!  Start practicing in shallower waters until you feel comfortable, then you can move on to deeper waters. Once you feel confident, try it without the kickboard, and add the arm movements. It is a great form of exercise to use after you learn to swim. This can be done while treading with the belt on. You can also wear swimming fins while practicing your kicks. Don't wear them all the time, however, especially for warm-up and warm-down exercises. Learning how to swim is not a competition; save that for when you are more experienced. Don't force yourself to move into deeper waters if you don't feel comfortable at your current depth. If you feel tired, take a break, and get out of the deep end. Everyone started with the basics, so don't feel discouraged by the experienced swimmers around you. They will not think less of you or make fun of you. After all, they were in your position at one point too.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open Facebook Messenger. Make sure that you're on the "Home" tab. Select a conversation. Find a message. Tap and hold the message. Tap Delete. Tap Delete Message when prompted.

Answer:
Tap the Messenger app icon, which resembles a white bolt of lightning in a blue speech bubble. This will open Messenger's main page if you're logged into Messenger. If you aren't logged in, tap Continue as [Name], or enter your phone number and password. If Facebook Messenger opens a conversation, tap the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the screen to go back to the "Home" tab. If Messenger opens to a different tab (e.g., People), tap the house-shaped Home tab that's in the bottom-left corner of the screen before proceeding. Tap the conversation from which you want to delete a message. This will open the conversation. Look for the message that you want to delete. Doing so will prompt a pop-up menu to appear at the bottom of the screen after a moment. It's a trash can-shaped icon in the menu at the bottom of the screen. Doing so will remove the message from your side of the conversation, though the other person (or people) will still be able to see the message unless they've also deleted it. You can repeat this process for as many individual messages as you like, but there is no way to delete multiple individual messages at once without deleting the whole conversation.
