Book excerpt: '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 excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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.
Download or read book The Paternal Romance written by Robert Con Davis and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Robert Con Davis explored a single, complex topic - the fusion of Western reason with images and various cultural constructions of paternity. The Paternal Romance moves from the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and Hesiod's Theogony through Augustine's De Trinitate. Its final chapter, "Reflections on Post-Paternal Culture," shows how patriarchal discourse remains prominent today, though sometimes in diminished and ironic forms, and how feminist theorists including Helene Cixous and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak have attempted to displace or transcend it." -- Book cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of human history, paternity was uncertain. Blood types, fingerprinting, and, recently, DNA analysis promised to solve the riddle of paternity. But even genetic certainty did not end the quest for the father. Rather, as Nara Milanich reveals, it confirms the social, cultural, and political nature of the age-old question: Who’s your father?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of the federal courts in policymaking for children. Believing that the federal courts are uniquely situated to provide relief to the less powerful in society, Mezey assesses the judiciary's response to the demands for children's rights and benefits across a number of policy areas and a range of statutory and constitutional issues. Through analysis of Supreme Court and lower court opinions over the last several decades, she determines the extent to which federal court decisionmaking has affected the legal, political, economic, and social status of children in the United States.
Download or read book Rip Van Winkle s Republic written by Andrew Burstein and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-09-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two centuries ago, native New Yorker Washington Irving exploded onto the literary scene of Europe with the publication of his breakout collection of stories, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Published in England and America in 1819–1820, and universally praised for its inventive characters and soul-searching qualities, including the immortal tales “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the volume enjoyed remarkable transatlantic success, allowing Irving to become the first of his nation to support himself as a professional author. In this distinctive collection, historians and literary scholars come together to reassess Irving’s imaginative world and complex cultural legacy. Alternately a satirist and a nostalgia merchant, Irving was ever absorbed in reconstituting a lost past, which the volume dubs “Rip Van Winkle’s Republic.” The assembled scholars explore issues of Anglo-American culture, the power of imagery, race, and the treatment of time and history in Irving’s vast body of literature, as well as his status as a bibliophile, an antiquarian, and a prominent figure in an age of literary celebrity. Edited by acclaimed historians Andrew Burstein and Nancy Isenberg, Rip Van Winkle’s Republic marks a rediscovery of this marvelous author of social satire and fabled tales of the past.
Download or read book Contested Paternity written by Rachel G. Fuchs and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-07-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2009 J. Russell Major Prize, American Historical AssociationWinner, 2009 Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize, Western Association of Women HistoriansWinner, 2008 Charles E. Smith Award, European History section of the Southern Historical Association This groundbreaking study examines complex notions of paternity and fatherhood in modern France through the lens of contested paternity. Drawing from archival judicial records on paternity suits, paternity denials, deprivation of paternity, and adoption, from the end of the eighteenth century through the twentieth, Rachel G. Fuchs reveals how paternity was defined and how it functioned in the culture and experiences of individual men and women. She addresses the competing definitions of paternity and of families, how public policy toward paternity and the family shifted, and what individuals did to facilitate their personal and familial ideals and goals. Issues of paternity and the family have broad implications for an understanding of how private acts were governed by laws of the state. Focusing on paternity as a category of family history, Contested Paternity emphasizes the importance of fatherhood, the family, and the law within the greater context of changing attitudes toward parental responsibility.
